Winter Vacation
I am currently planning a winter vacation to the Lower North Shore. It will be the first time that I will be back on the coast, during the winter months, in over ten years. I can’t believe how fast time flies, but I am really looking forward to going back again. I have fond memories of late winter, and early sprring on the coast, and I am going to try to visit the region when the snow is still around, but the days are getting longer.
I doubt very many people in Canada are planning to go further north for a winter vacation, but I do enjoy winter sports, and I can’t wait to go for a ride on snowmobile. The great thing about most of the villages on The Lower North Shore in the winter, is that everyone uses snowmobiles to get around, since the roads are not plowed. There are also lots of trails, and portages that make it easy to explore the lakes, rivers, and hills near the villages. There is also usually more snow up there, so it should be pretty easy to get around.
I am really hoping that it is going to be like the photo below from La Tabatiere:

In any case, I will take lots of pictures while I am up there, and add them to the Lower North Shore Web Site when I get back.
