Bathurst.............

Once again , we were able to spend some time playing in the snow. Tim went with me this time. The trails are very good. All tough, close to the hotel there is hardly any snow, just like on PEI. But the farther in land you go, the more snow there is. We wanted to go to Mount Carleton today, but the trail was not open. After we talked to some guys familiar with that area, they told us that, as long as we didn't mind lifting our sleds over the trees, we could try it.
Not an option. we decided to head up a different direction instead. Saw lots of moose tracks, but no moose. however, we did see a couple of snowshoe hares. And a train. First time ever we had to stop the snowmobiles at a train crossing. Too bad it was dark, it would have made a good picture. The picture below is of the old railway bed that goes toward Nepisiguit, its amazing what they were able to do with only a couple of inches of snow.

This is a picture of the Miramichi groomer. He was a long way from home, they were helping out their sister club Nepisiguit, because the new groomer is not ready yet. It will be here and ready to go for Saturday. Too late for us to see it.

This one is of the TV Tower Road. This trail was freshly groomed with a bit of powder on top, does it get any better then that?

New Brunwick is going green with their power generation as well. You can see the wind turbines they put in place this past year. There must be about ten of them, at least. It takes some rugged equipment to get all the parts in place.

And this would be one of them. A rugged truck with a boom, to bring parts up the mountain trails, covered in snow.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story. But a picture only shows a small part of the experience. You would have to do this just once to know what its all about. I can tell you, the experience is priceless..........
