Day 6 - Jan 31
 


Just beyond "The end of the world"
   Here we see Eugene breaking Rule #1 "Stay on the Trail", with George looking on in frustration!
 We were in LaRiene, Quebec and after eating lunch the locals said, that at the end of main street is
the "Le Bout Du Monde" or "End of the World" Eugene is just beyond that point. (see story below)

Journey in a Nutshell
We left this morning about 8:00 A.M. with light snow and temps in the 20's. We decided to take a route to LaRiene, Quebec (about 100 miles) for lunch and then return on the same route. Beautiful trails and no traffic. We stopped for lunch and had a little difficulty with translating what we wanted.... Joann thought she ordered a burger..... She got a chicken sandwich... after attempting to straighten things out.... she ate chicken! Betty had some difficulty with here sled and we stopped several times to work on it.... we think its fixed....In the morning we are heading south to New Liskeard, Ontario. To date we have traveled just under 1000 miles by snowmobile and have 5 days left to go...With over $4,000 in combined pledges... we are a long way from our goal of  $10,000 .Its not to late to Pledge for either FAME or American Cancer Society.... just click below.

The locals in LaRiene, Quebec built this gate at the end of main street, looking through the gate is the river that separates the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. "Le Bout Du Monde" translates into "The end of the World". Apparently the french here are for the succession of Quebec from Canada and see the other side of the river as not part of their world. This also means that we were aliens from another world and after lunch, returned to ours Hmmm..
Here we are at "Steel Mountain Outfitters" a Canadian outpost about 25 miles from Quebec (see story below) The moose kept licking George's ear.... How rude!. 
..
25 miles from nowhere we came upon a home built group of shacks, It was Mike and Sue's "Steel Mountain Outfitters" with big old Bear barking up a storm... Sue welcomed us in for a hot cup of cocoa and fresh brownies. They have a generator to run the place and a base station mounted cell phone. They have to travel 25 miles on snowmobile or by foot to get to their truck... Mike hunts and makes gloves out of Timber wolf, beaver and mink. Mike and Sue were very friendly and helpful. If you want a remote hunting or fishing camp... This is it!
