The GREAT Quebec Adventure!

"It wasn't just a trip....it was an ADVENTURE!!"

February 2005

We have completed the longest snowmobile trip our group has ever undertaken!  1,600 miles in 6 days of riding.  The trip was a complete success, after you eliminate Mike's ("Lobster Boy") unfortunate series of events on Day one....Plenty of snow, very good trails, varied accommodations,  wonderful food, friendly people (!!) and excellent camaraderie!  Thanks to Captain John Chomniak for helping us piece together this sojourn through the Quebec wilderness.  Our planning minds are already in motion for next years "mega-event".....a return to Halley's appears to be on the agenda with another varied motley crew in the offing!  In the meantime, enjoy the pictures below.  Remember, click on any image to see a larger, higher quality view!

Funny how prolonged speeds in excess of 80 MPH can cause one to run out of fuel.....
