The snow is very deep when you get off the trail. We had stopped for a break along the trail and George got a little to far over in the deep snow. Ralph got his bungie out and with a few tugs pulled him out.. The Yamaha had no problem pulling the Ski-Doo out…

Not a good place to be but we were all running out of gas and the map showed us to travel down this road or the next gas was 50 miles. We had already come 91 miles but when we came upon these huge logging trucks we decided to turn around and take our chances on the trail. Some of the riders carry gas and we needed it to get to the next gas stop. All turned out well and we made our motel in Chibougamau in 173 miles. The temps today were much warmer than we have had in the past two days.
