Adventure finds you on most of your rides thanks for sharing. Unfortunately it is not open to the public and hasn’t been for 15; years. Just asked him and I guessed right. He is a GREAT person and would be of help if anyone was ever in an emergency though. The biggest surprise of this trip so far has been that we HAVE NOT seen another sled on the trail since we left Andre’s camp yesterday morning. That’s M21, M20, 345 to Repos, 33 to Manawan, to Lunic, to 100 Lacs, to Parent today and to here. Not on the trail either direction, not at an intersection, not in Parent, NOT anywhere’s. i would be willing to bet you couldn’t do that again, if you tried in 100 years.

Snobeeler Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Great adventure, I guess you can honestly say to those who ask, “Yes there will be plenty of snow here in 2 weeks”.

What your seeing are complete stops and a scenic snap here and there. The rest of the time we were hanging on and doing everything you can to stay in these guys tracks and not get sucked off the trail. The further we went along I was convinced we would not have made it with our sleds or at the least had a really, really hard time. Here up on the hill overlooking Parent. The new cell tower is up and we went right by it. It will be active next year. While at the depanneur in Parent (no hassles or problems there whatsoever on restrictions) I ask Andre to ask the girl at the register about 4 sleds coming in here before us. I was guessing there were 4-5 of them and she said that sounded right AND THEY WERE GOING TO THE GOUIN !!!! Best damn news I’ve heard all day. Now we have a clear shot all the way to Haltaparche if we don’t blow off the trail. Here .....where they split and headed up. Haltaparche is less than a km around the corner. http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2022_01/AA4A6F83-31D7-4A28-8557-061F6E91EBA4.thumb.jpeg.7e0cb323548addae99a41dc3388580cb.jpeg Cynthia is the English speaking lady at the store in Parent .. she's awesome ! A foot or more new snow on the trail untracked sounds like heaven to me 🙂 Edited January 19, 2022 by dooright PLAYHARD, MrGutz, iceman and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmaster2112 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) A whopping 8 miles so far today Nobody had been up the Gouin east side trail or 83 east since the storm while back at Haltaparche the 3 guys staying at the Gouin last night pulled in from the west side trail only a km away from Haltaparche they pulled in and the one guy had a Sidewinder just like my buddies he said you have to let the engine warm up till it shuts itself off to unfreeze the steering as this was what was happening to my buddy Jeff’s sled a bit ago. the BEST news is they are heading to Kanawata so we can follow their trail there in a bit. YAHOO.....!!!!!!!! stay tuned....... on a side note the FCMQ map looks like a “sea of purple “ except where we are at.....LOL. Having a blast though and just hoping nothing go wrong getting back to Andre’s camp tomorrow night we might cook hot dogs later if we can get to the grill http://quebecrider.com/forums/uploads/monthly_2022_01/5E715C2B-91D4-42D9-86F4-0BB36DFC8104.thumb.jpeg.784c6284445b1857c3d2061da1015047.jpeg Edited January 19, 2022 by snowmaster2112 GT Rider, Florida Snowman, Blueblood and 4 others 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so Jeff WANTS TO KNOW the fix. He CANT stand when something’s not right or he doesn’t have the item to fix it. That’s why he carries 50lbs of tools. I swear we could swap an engine out on the trail if need be. LOL PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys draw straws to see who gets to ride third in line, lol No , not 24” (except in blown in areas) but a solid 14-17 up here. 2.5-3 additional today. It’s Jeffrey’s new Sidewinder out front or my boat anchor. Probably 60/40 me. PLAYHARD and NSHM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
