Awesome heartfelt story of your life Bill. Never give up…my favourite quote..”wether you think you can, or you can’t..you’re right”

Your let’s just say your..misinformed.. This is different situation than having ofsc change existing vin on a permit to a new one..I did gift card on my new sled this fall as I did not have vin number at deadline of purchase for permit. About 10 days before Christmas went on line and redeemed gift card w vin number and permit was in my mail just after New Years. Very quick and efficient. Would hate to see someone not take this permit because of a misunderstanding how this works. Cheers

Brought home a new one today…play time soon..

I’ve seen lots of lynx between searchmont and Hearst. I also definitely saw a cougar just south of wawa several years ago. Easy to tell the difference.

Absolutely the most intelligent response yet to this situation. I always thought the Wawa Misanabbi Chapleau connection should have never been closed. Worst case scenario you drive to Wawa from the Soo to drop. Glad I went and saw it, was a great experience. I wish them luck but I’m afraid the future does not look bright.

Excellent . We actually loop into there from the south and spend two days in Murdochville so will take that same trail back to Matane. Will do it twice. Can’t wait. Be in Matane next Sunday. Weather looks perfect.

Yes I didn’t say. Dropping in Matane Que and doing Gaspe loop 6 days riding. Really looking forward to it as I’ve never been that Far East.

No worries there. I believe cans should be outlawed. #1 reason why so many trails are being closed.

Ya mirrors. I’m putting my hand guards back on w the little flip out mirrors. Lic numbers are what they are. I’m sure it will be fine. Thanks for all the reply’s. All good info.

Ordered on line and printed. Reads to tape on windshield. What have others used? Zip lock bag I guess? I’ll probably carry a spare copy just in case. Thanks

This year I started putting them on glove box lid. It shows better through the windshield w the box extension. I clean glue off windshield every year and figured box lid be easier 🤷‍♂️

That’s the best pic of my old style without hand guards. They are just insulated fabric that has Velcro and draw strings to attach around bars. I’ve had them like 15 yrs or so. Easily pack in bag when not using.

Well there you go. Thanks Stoney. I guess I can put my hand guards back on.

Ox that’s a good question. I’ve got the older muffs on my backcountry, took the guards off as they don’t do much. I put the newer ones on my wife’s sled that are molded and plastic see through top. Maybe they will go over hand gaurds? Any one have an idea?

I’m a muff man. 🙂

Cans..modified exhaust is issue that needs to be enforced…Good to hear there is some enforcement happening.

Did a morning loop south of Whitney Mink Lk area today . Was 10/10 conditions. This area should be ok after the rain with snow and cold temps that follow. Fingers crossed..too bad it’s just before the long weekend. Lots of plans made around that holiday.

I have the tri fold ramp. Works really well for sled in and out of pickup truck.

Ok I saw the gas can and wondered. Attached a pic of my linq bag behind the seat. I can’t tell from your pics if that is what you have. I’ve never tried to put a 4 L jug in but will try. Once again thanks for the info. Jim

Looks like we will follow your route in about 4 weeks. Depart Matane Monday am Feb 28 and back into Matane Saturday pm March 5. How well did it work for fuel stops? I think your on 2 stroke this year? Did you find oil along the way or pack it from the start? Hope you don’t mind the questions, good to hear first hand info. Thanks. Jim

Looks awesome. How are the Covid rules for food and such? Myself and riding buddy are planning week look gaspe loop starting Feb 27. Everything I’ve seen of the region looks incredible. Thanks

Went for a spin today that took me from Madawaska across to Whitney on the B trail. Very happy to see the turtle by pass had been abandoned and trail is back on the track bed along the river. Was in great shape for the relatively low amount of snow we have. I went up the old bypass to the look out and it’s very rocky and washed out bad in places. I’d expect this trail wouldn’t even be open if dependent on the by pass. Good to see common sense prevail !!

I get more frustrated every year. I’m so sorry to hear of a valuable member and landowner like yourself throwing in the towel. I have also seen what you’ve seen as a landowner w trails on property. The future does not look bright.

Whitney to Wilno just opened limited. Can only get better! Bring on the snow.
