Jame's Bay 2010

Next Friday we're leaving for the Jame's Bay. I'll do it with the Wee but this travel will serve to find if there are a trail circuit interesting for the WR and like motorcycles.

It'll be around 4,000km round trip. Over 1200km unpaved roads. There are parts of the circuit where there is over 300km between refueling stations.

I'll try to take pictures.

Cool.
Where are you leaving from?

Sounds like fun...

I realize it all my fault, but I'm geo-spatially disoriented with an indefinite reference to "known" locations. It sounds like a surf spot to me.

...so just for geographical-global orientation in our geographical-global forum, where exactly (in the world) might you be referring to ?

A Google Earth link, or Lat/Long would be helpful.

For all we know we may be there ( or close).

P.S. I would venture that Dan's venture is leaving from "Home" ( another undisclosed location).

It's part of the Hudson's bay northwest of Quebec.

Here is a google maps link to Radisson

Jame's Bay is the area where most of Quebec's hydro electricity is generated. Radisson is where the workers community lives. It's close to Chissassibi a Cree village that is the principal agglomeration of this area.

It's a place mostly visited for fishing and hunting. The main north-south road is the Jame's Bay road and the east-west is the Trans-Taïga. We take a gravel road that starts around Chibougamau and ends on the Jame's Bay road 400km later (la route du nord). The Trans-Taïga is a 600 km gravel road that's along the La grande baleine river. On this river there are 4 dams called LG1 to LG4.

We use to say that all we see over there is black spruce, water and rocks and that for hundreds of kilometers. The temperature can reach 29C during the day et and below the freezing point at night. I must say that at the end of june the nights are short over there. If you're afraid of moskitoes, black flies and the like, don't go in this area.javascript:emoticonp('')

Edit: I suddenly turned Francais when I clicked the Google link. I was like: Oui oui-ing all over the place !

Thanks ! Have fun. Be safe. Did I mention PICTURES ! ?
