Choosing to discover the North was a great intuition, you followed it and the world opens up to you.

Yesterday, the night showed up when you arrived. It is therefore this morning that you will discover the huge Gouin reservoir with its 1,589 km2 area and its 5,600 km shoreline! Breathtaking !

In the evening, sharing emotions in front of the fireplace. You are so happy that fatigue is secondary. But, once lying down, you will fall asleep in a few seconds…

The sun is rising over Lake Manouane, calm has invaded the space, all the snowmobilers are at breakfast. You strap your bags on your snowmobile while the engines warm up. Your stage this evening will reconcile you with luxury since you are leaving for the Camp Taureau inn in Saint-Michel-Des-Saints.

Tonight, to relax, opt for a jacuzzi. It is outside and tradition dictates that you roll in the snow and then come back in the hot water. Chick!

Your night was excellent, especially after the jacuzzi experience! You are completely rested even if some have lingered a bit at the bar… No matter, a last lumberjack breakfast will get you back in shape.

It’s the last day, it’s true that you rode from one stage to another and we didn’t see you much at Mekoos. However, we were in contact with your guide throughout your raid to ensure your safety and that everything lived up to your expectations. It’s time to head back to Montreal. Thank you for taking up the great challenge offered by this Nordic raid. And see you soon for other adventures!
