The Coast

I went back to the Coast for a winter vacation, which I haven’t done in the past 10 years, and I had forgotten how much fun this region is in the winter. Although I have enjoyed my past few summer vacations on the Lower North Shore, going around on snowmobile in the winter is really a blast. It’s the combination of the beautiful scenery, and the fact that you are riding this high tech snow machine, that makes it so much fun. All of the new machines are of course very comfortable, and powerful, and if you need to get somewhere in a hurry, it is not going to be a problem.

Although riding the newer snowmobiles is fun by itself, having pretty much unlimited trails makes it better than just riding on your typical snowmobile trail. First of all, it is just an adventure to ride around trying to explore new locations. Even riding in the villages is fun, since the roads aren’t plowed in the winter, and you end up riding your snowmobile everywhere. If you need to buy groceries, you go on your snowmobile, if you want to go to the bar, you also take your snowmobile (and walk back of course). Why fight winter, when it is more fun to take advantage of it?

As you can see from the photo below, the roads in the villages are covered with snowmobile tracks.

I recently went back to the Lower North Shore for a winter snowmobiling vacation, and  I have started uploading some of the photos I took, to the Lower North Shore Web Site. We really had a great time, and I had forgotten how much fun the Coast is in the winter. There are lots of things to write about, and I will be adding many new Blog entries once I catch up on a few other things.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the photos.
