quebec bob Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Rhode Island went door to door quarantine today for NY seconder homers to quarantine them inside their homes for 2 weeks early today, Trump talking about quarantine for all of NYC, and parts of Connecticut and New Jersey. Getting real serious, like living out a Stephen King movie.Better to be pro-active than too late, this think only works if everyone stays home. One guy buys 68 bottles of hand sanitizer, only works if everyone has a bottle!! PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, But, who is gonna enforce this when they don’t stay home? Lots of thick headed people still just don’t get it. Kinda wish it was zombies instead. Walking Dead stuff. Now then we could easily see the problem. remember a wise Vulcan once said 🖖 “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...or the one.” quebec bob, MrGutz and PLAYHARD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Emperor Cuomo just said he'll sue the RI Gov for unconstitutionally blocking NY'ers. And if Trumpster tries to quarantine metro NY it'd be an act of civil war. Lots of preaching. Not so much listening. Like you say "restricting movement". New Rochelle wasn't (and couldn't have been) a "lock-down". It's about sitting still, somewhere, for a couple/few weeks if you've likely been infected. Wash your hands! And no hugging Grandma yo!

snowmaster2112 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) i just want to go back to Haltaparche and live out my days with Jean-Guy & Gypsie. With all seriousness I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life there. He's only going to be around a few more years and could get me "up to speed" with everything there. My dream would be to make it like the "Joncas" or "Meekos" but only more spectacular. All my friends (snowmobiling) and others would come to visit and we would have a grand ole time.

Just to further appreciate real trails. I never knew you had the pleasure of riding Tug Ice ? I used to go up there 25+ yrs ago on weekdays and get some awesome riding in. That was before the population (and registered sleds soared) and every "A" hole from NY, PA, NJ ,Ma. (even Ontario) started to appear. That place has become THE shit hole of North American snowmobiling. I literally "cringe" when i read posts from some guy who took "his family" up there riding. Has to be the MOST dangerous place to ride a sled in North America. Glad I got to learn the area and rip off some serious miles in years past but wouldn't even contemplate going there ever again. (and I live relatively close) . PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been coming to Quebec since 1995 and believe me there is no comparison. Don't get me wrong the UP can be good, but that is going to be mid-week riding. A lot of times in the UP to get from point A to point B you only have 1 trail that will take you there, in Quebec you might have 4, 5 or more options, makes a big difference. In Quebec, even on the weekends, if you want to get out away from the crowds you can, in Michigan you can't. Haven't rode in Michigan on the weekends in many years and have no plans to. These last few years I've been doing most of my riding in the Lac St. Jean area. It's a 14 hour drive and many liters of fuel and it's worth every bit of it. dooright, SnomoGary, PLAYHARD and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
