Was there last Thurs and Friday, stayed at Motel Drakkar. The new owner goes by Reggie, motel is much improved, no smoke smell. Went up the river, only about 1/2 way, then I think it turns into 360N?, then 355N up to La Tuque. Farther north we went, trails got better. We left La Tuque and was re-routed 355N as the 73S was blocked off, though there was sled tracks, not sure why? Went up towards Lac Edward then LT2 back onto 73S, drops off at the warming hut. Down 73, watch when the trail splits, stay right, left takes you down the brown/black trail. We ran into a truck towing a trailer, he told us the trail dead ends. Glad we ran into him. Then 302 back to 351. 280 miles. Friday went towards St Ray on Rt 3, parts were good, closer to ST Ray, thin and boney. 170 miles.
