JP
at 100 Lacs Last Winter Radio Interview w/ JP - Click Here! Meet
JP & Zenwaiter at the The
Big East Show - Syracuse -
Party
Time in Quebec!
To ring in the new year, I spent time at 100 Lacs Pourvoirie north of Mont Laurier, with JP and his wife Cathy. It was a lot of fun. They will join me Oct. 6 - 7 - 8 at the Big East Show in Syracuse to invite all of you to visit Quebec again this winter! I will be handing out a simple map, outlining all our members on the Zen Tour circuit. This winter I want to go and see every one of them, and report to you from their trails. I hope to meet some of you out there! Video
of 100 Lacs Here! I
will also have about 50 Zen Hats to give away at the show, so be sure
to arrive early. You must ASK for a hat to get one! That tells me you
are a regular reader of ZW.COM.
I
am also trying to convince TC.COM's infamous AD-MAN the Nazi
Slayer from CHICAGO, to meet us at the show! That would be fantastic!
Zen
Tour 2006 - 07
JP
had a great idea this summer. "Why don't we get all the Zenwaiter
motel sponsors together", he said, "and make a ride out of
it?" (Hey JP - you ain't as dumb as you look after all!)
Better
yet, we also convinced most of our motel sponsors, to offer you a little
something special, if you visit them during the week.
Be
sure to tell the people at the motel that you are doing the Zen Tour,
and who knows, you may get something special. I know Bernard at the
Motel Safari will have one free cold beer waiting for you!
The Zen-Tour Circuit Our
Zenwaiter sponsors have always been a small group, this year is no exception.
We have eight motels that help to support this web site. Each of them
has the right stuff to make your snowmobile holiday the best it can
be. Services that you need, like for example, secure truck and trailer
parking, clean affordable rooms, good meals, fuel, and repair facilities
available for your sled - these are the basics. Add to that,
a knowledgeable and friendly staff, a spirit of hospitality, and knowledge
of Quebec snowmobiling, and you have it all!
The
fun can begin anywhere along the route - wherever you want to leave
your truck and trailer. You could start up at Auberge
HARRICANA in Val D 'Or near the Ontario border, at L'Esterelle
in the Laurentians, or at Bernard's secure lock up in Shawinigan. Whatever
suits your needs. Make your favorite motel your base camp.
Then
head over to St. Zenon to see Real
Masse and his team to experience the best steak on the planet.
(Be sure to ask for "Le Steak du Boss", especially
if you have a big appetite!) If you are traveling with your family,
they will appreciate Real's family atmosphere, and secure lock up.
Then,
ride north to see the beauty of Pourvoirie
100 Lacs and meet JP & Cathy. Be sure to try the ice fishing
before breakfast. They always pull the biggest fish out in the winter
- even some twenty pounders - Can you say Walleye?
Next,
ride over to meet Jean Beaulieu and his wife Dianne at Auberge
Beaulieu in Mékinac, and meet all their staff in their
down home bar! This is a must see. The music, the characters, and the
atmosphere - Take it from Doctor 'C' - "It's Great!. Meet the friendliest
people on earth. Many say it has the warmth of the old Auberge le
Refuge. Physically, it is totally different, but the friendships
you make there may remind you of Crazy Al's place.
Afterwards,
ride over east to St-Michel-des Saints to visit Map Man Denny
and his wife Carol at the
Pied de la Chute. Extraordinary food in a family dining room,
where they prepare it all themselves. Charming, clean and everything
is brand new - beds, bedding, carpets paint... even the bathroom fixtures!
It is very quiet and located right on the shores of big lake Taurau.
You can walk to the Central. Ask Denny to be your guide to Off Trail
Adventure.
Now,
take the short ride over to see Bernard at Motel
Safari, or Denny at the Escapade
Inn, in Shawinigan. Don't forget the famous sizzling steak available
only at that 57 Chevy restaurant. Bernard will take you! These two bon
vivant Quebecs will look after whatever ails you. Fully secure with
steel fences, and right on the trail.
Don't
miss meeting the lovely and wonderful snowmobile lady we call Dom, at
Hotel
L'Esterel. Get spoiled and enjoy the formal dining room, and
the ultimate 5 Star treatment in the Laurentian mountains. Swimming
pool, hot tubs, rentals, skiing, something for every member of the family.
Very Unique, with a hundred year tradition of excellence. Ask for Dom;
she will look after your every need. A snowmobile holiday has never
been better.
As
always, we ask you to remember our other 'non- motel' sponsors
as well, Location
Haute Matawinie for all your snowmobile rental needs, and also
Secure Sled Storage in
St-Michel-des Saints Quebec. Great people that can help find solutions
to repairs, storage, and sales.
In Connecticut, we have two other sponsors... Accurate Wire has supported us for years, and also Shark Cycle - they have two stores full of motorcycles and snowmobile deals for everyone. Last but not least,
let's remember Adman
Marketing and Online Auction Services, and big Pyro
Dave from Pyromate Firing Systems and SledQuebec.Com
in New Hampshire. And... let's not foget the award winning web
site that got me started in this crazy work... TrailConditions.Com.
There are so many others over the years that have kept this thing going.. guys like Crazy Al. Let's remember them as well. I will do my best to
support all my sponsors by writing some good content on this
site this winter - especially stories about YOU the riders! Be sure
to keep in touch by e-mail... send me your adventure stories and photos,
and you'll see them on the front page this winter!
L'aventure commence! zw
