GT Rider Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Day 5 84 miles With the storm coming we decided to get the truck and move to RDL. We get rolling around 8. The sky looks gray. The street out of town needs the snow that’s coming. PLAYHARD, iceman, towing and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rider Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 As we approach Matane it is obvious that the warm weather is taking a toll on the trails. This storm should fix things up. We can see it coming in the distance. It’s starting to get windy.
