smclelan Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Thanks Iceman. Good morning snowmobilers .. Last hour, please take note that there is no more GASOLINE and TOILET service at Mill 54 between Dore and Chibougamau (North 93 trail) because of COVID We have no control and are very sorry for this situation. thank you and be careful! This means carrying gas is a must for this section of trail. Hopefully it will open next season but could be a sad look at the future. zeusand and PLAYHARD 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipeman Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yup this really sucks and that’s a long run with no place to stop to warm up or anything in between. Damn shame..... PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn shame..... Exactly you can carry the gas and make it but not having it sucks. Will probably effect grooming of this trail as well. Less traffic they will maintain it accordingly. Hopefully next year we will be more lucky. nyskidooerinnewhampshire and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRSchang Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Looks like 240 km or 150 miles. Chib to La Dore. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLAYHARD Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 That's like 2 Apex tanks if it's less than yummy trail conditions. Dang, I go look up what a gallon of gas weighs, and get an interesting view of the new math?.. h12 + 16 = 44? https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/contentincludes/co2_inc.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago he put gas in a couple of those and brought them along, probably 45 minutes into the trip both had developed cracks were leaking from being jostled around.

La Dore gas stop to Lumber was 60 miles then about 100 miles to Gas outside of Chib, add another 5 if you go in town to fill up.

GT Rider Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 We have made this trip. I had two 1 gallon gas cans. I dumped them in at 54. It is 154 miles from Esso La Dore to PetroCanada Chibougamau according to my Garmin map. zeusand, PLAYHARD and dooright 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadRunner Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Just need to get a longer sled😀, and 3 cans! On a good trail condition day, we have this expedition dialed in to go from Ladore to Chibougamo and back without a fuel stop LOL. Just wish we could get north of the border to do that this year!
