Don Lipinski…. Don sits on the Board of Directors of MichCanSka and loves to Snowmobile. He is a charter member and has been the sweep for all of our rides from Alaska to the Gaspe. Being the sweep means that he rides last and makes sure all riders are with the group. His moto is "No One Left Behind" and he takes his job very serious.

We left this morning at -32 degrees and traveled 28 miles for gas. Another 5 miles and stopped at a snowmobile club for snacks and to warm up. It had warmed up to -09 degrees. Nothing on the trail for the next 136 miles. We stopped at 1:00 and had lunch on the trail and it had warmed up to 15 degrees..

Very strange to find a river not frozen at this time of year. We have crossed many rivers and lakes on our sleds.

As we are getting farther North in Quebec the weather is getting colder. This morning we had a sled that would not start and had to get out the jumper cables and battery. After a few tries it started and we were on our way. The temp is -22 degrees and we have 186 miles to ride today.
Snowmobile Club on the Trail

We have 38 miles to go and we come upon a snowmobile club house on the trail. Perfect timing because we are all cold and decide a Hot Chocolate would warm us up. It is -6 degrees at 2:30 P.M.
