zrtkat Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yes I said Dubreuilville LOL. we had to shorten our day because of our late start this morning due to a crew member not feeling well,he went to the ER hospital in Hearst,what a adventure the lady taken care of him told him he was not sick he walked in ok, you look ok just leave and take plenty of liquids and get rest ,he told her he is up here snowmobiling she did not care told him it takes 10 days to get over a cold ,tried desperately to talk him out of it. So anyways the doctor was much better than the receptionist, he checked him out and said Bronchites, well he is doing a little better tonight the crew was happy we shortened the day. We are at the Relais-Magpie-relay it is a nice place the lady shuttled us down to the restuarant and picked us up,very satisfied so far with this place,we had trouble getting gas at the lumber yard ,closed when we got there, read the instructions how to use a card tried no luck ,guy pulled in to get gas,he called the guy and he came back and got us gas for sleds, happy about that they do not open till 1pm every day. we had awesome trails again today from hearst all the way to Dubreuilville, freshly groomed trails all the way very little traffic all the way here maybe seen 10 sleds all day.we stopped in Hornepayne ,went to uncles for soup and coffee,walter from the hornepayne snowmobile club came and had coffee with us nice guy. We are heading back to Hearst tommorrow morning ,we have no choice but to return the same way so Zrtkat will take a few days off from his trail reporting unless something happens that I think you should know. here are a few pics from today the trails cannot get any better than they are now,going to snow tonight and tommorrow so we will see what happens. Goodnight from Dubreuilville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC+YA Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi zrtcat, I had my octane warning come on last weekend with my first tank of gas in Quebec. I forgot my octane booster so I added a little 2-stroke oil. Seems to also work. It was cold and now getting colder again. You will like Auld Reekie (Old Smokey). One of my favorites. Have a nice ride. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a nice ride. Scott Scott We had a change of plans my brother is still sick so we where cutting our trip by 1 day so we had to cancel auld reekie for the night ,we had planned to go to cochrane today ,then head to new liskeard on saturday, well things change 25 miles out of hearst, Scotts sled locked up , we dragged it to the highway,lucky for us the Groomer From Mattice was coming bye he called the Arctic-cat shop in Hearst they came and picked the sled up and now they are tearing it apart to make sure they have all the parts to repair,will know later this afternoon if it is repairable. So we are back at the Companion hotel for the night and will have to go to plan b if the sled is not repairable ,if they do not have the parts,we might be looking for a ride to New Liskeard, The Arctic-cat shop here seems to know what they are doing ,good shop , so far he needs a chaincase the bearings in chaincase went bad,they have the chaincase ,now if they have the gears we will be back to riding tommorrow.

Ox Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Boy - that looks like my F chassis Grand Touring Doo in that pic. 2nd one on the other side of the rope. But I don't remember ever parking on that side of the building. ??? Brian Revard had one too. Not sure if he still had it in 2000 or not. .

catinental couch Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yes it was your weather selfie at the store Luc.You did a great job of promoting your area for sledding much to the dismay of TWN reporters who think that cold is a bad thing.
