Caught on the Logging Trail

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.

A welcome break along the trail is a warming shack. The warming shacks are all supplied with wood so we can build a fire and warm up.
