    How many of you ACTUALLY overland with your 80s or 60s

    Before buying my HDJ100 5 yrs ago, my expedition vehicle was my 60 series equipped with a 12HT. I covered some 50K km, including James Bay, Outer Bank (2x), the Newfoundland-Labrador loop, as well as several expeditions in the forests of Quebec. It's now my summer DD and still serves me well for...

    Escape to Anticosti Island - This large island in the center of the St-Laurent golf course

    The last day on Anticosti led us to the most famous river on the island, Jupiter River, which is, like most of the rivers on the island a salmon river. We stopped where it flows into the Saint Lawrence in order to appreciate the landscape of exceptional beauty. The beach was soft The sky...

    Escape to Anticosti Island - This large island in the center of the St-Laurent golf course

    Not far from the light house, we found a delightful place on a rocky promontory overlooking the water. Behind us and the entire waterfront of the bay, as far as we could see were stunted conifers, bare, bleached and bent by the salty winds. It's always amazing to see the resilience of the...

    Escape to Anticosti Island - This large island in the center of the St-Laurent golf course

    We headed south to Chicotte. After enjoying a hot shower in a modest sanitary block, we once again enjoyed a walk on the white rocky shore. Before our journey, we read that the limestone of the island may be full of fossils in many places and where we were seemed to be a site of interest to...

    Escape to Anticosti Island - This large island in the center of the St-Laurent golf course

    Under this rain, we hiked to the iconic attraction, what pretty much always appears when doing an internet search for Anticosti, the Vauréal falls. This intermediate hike is in a canyon, on the river bed where we must regularly set foot in the water. After multiple turns, the fall is revealed...

    Escape to Anticosti Island - This large island in the center of the St-Laurent golf course

    Since the island is relatively flat, the rivers which traverse it have either created canyons or have made their way flush with the rock. This is how an excellent place by a shallow river not far from the road, presented itself to us. In spring, our location would most likely be covered by...

    Escape to Anticosti Island - This large island in the center of the St-Laurent golf course

    This possibility quickly presented itself to us and we took a very old logger road where the vegetation had been overrun for some years. This decision turned out to be risky, almost reckless, but so rewarding. The route taken leads us to a small cove on the northern shore of the island...

    Escape to Anticosti Island - This large island in the center of the St-Laurent golf course

    We packed up and went to meet the tourist guides to obtain the information required to ensure a good understanding of the island before embarking on our adventure. We learned that there was no police, no doctor, only one hardware store and one grocery store that sold food at high prices. The...

    Escape to Anticosti Island - This large island in the center of the St-Laurent golf course

    Containerizing our vehicle was an amazing step. Generally dedicated to overseas shipping, I had a hard time believing I would ever need to insert my vehicle in a container to reach a destination that is in my own country. While sitting on the edge of the dock, I was anxious to see the crane...
