Our morning started out much warmer than we have had for the past week. We have almost come full circle and we are still seeing beauty in Quebec.

Carl Hompstead from Bay City, Michigan. Carl and Ken drive the chase vehicles that carry our gear and they are available if we have problems on the trail. They carry a satellite phone with them so we can be in contact. Several times on this trip they have come to our rescue.

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..
