the rooms are spacious,clean & updated...little to posh for me but what heck.has nice heated garage for sleds & shooting the bull,owner paul also will drive you to local pub.

we were all in our room when luc showed up & was ready for dinner...super bowl sunday & all.we jumped into the minivan & were off

the local pub was great with big screens,beer & good food.i had ordered for lily & I burger for me & chicken finger with fries for lily,when the food arrived the waitress said to lily "your pizza will be right here"lily's table was full...lol from all at table.game was good,half time show even better.

Great report! gonna have to get back up there. 

 

Good to see Luc out on the trail grooming. We haven't had a chance to meet him up there on our travels. Big Reg tried to help us when the S-I-L's sled went down in '12. Unfortunately he didn't have a REV jackshaft. Helped me "warm" up my sled the next day when it started acting up.

 

Too bad it wasn't closer, but then all the weekend warrirs would be there & mess up the place .

LOL great post as usual.  Always love your stories.  As for Lily OMG what a cute picture of her.  She has to be the queen of pizza, chicken fingers/wings and fries.  Pretty sure that girl is going to be just like her dad.

Sometimes hard to photograph a photographer.

Or a guy with his back to the camera.

Possible, though, with perseverance.

WD, what is with your camera?  Sepia toned pics look like you took them in the 50's.  Did it take that long to get the film developed?  :lol:
