The sun is rising on Lac des Neiges as we prepare to leave. Another fabulous image! I have the feeling this is just the appetizer! I learned from our guides, Jean-Guy and Dave, that today will be a “privileged” itinerary. We’re in luck; we got special authorizations for this escapade. Going North, we circled the Grands-Jardins Park en route to Zec des Martres; it’s a belvedere where we stop to take in the sites. A 360-degree look at snowy mountains as far as the eye can see. This is our first strong point of our trip. I was personally overcome with emotion. On this belvedere, I shed tears. Surrounded by such beauty, only tears could express my inner feeling! Would you believe it, the spokeswoman is shedding tears of happiness! Don’t forget, this is just the beginning!!! If I cried on top, I laughed all the way down. The road was filled with moguls; it was like mogul skiing on a snowmobile. Just like at the Olympic games! I was sharing the snowmobile with Stephanie, she was shouting, I was laughing. We were like two five-year-olds having a great time but showing it in different ways. I just love it! What a team we are!
We were “off track”, so no wonder we got our share of spills. It’s easy to get buried in powdered snow. But, we’re fast learners! Pride is a strong motivator! A full day of digging ourselves out of the snow, of helping each other and using all our might.
Jean-Charles, our guide, even congratulated us. He said he was impressed by how fast we were leaning. Jean-Charles is proud of us and because of this, we found the strength and assurance to complete our day, thank you, J-C! To top it all, a grand site to spend the night! Thanks to Pourvoirie du Lac Moreau!
