For our North American stop, we'll go to the heart of the Gaspé
Quebec, between the St. Lawrence River and the Appalakehian
track where we can still find the
nature in the raw state,
combining local forests and fauna, mountains and huts,
and Caribou and lakes .
Raid Extreme: groups of 3 or individually,
with boundary-makers,
self sufficiency in food ...
we
can do it in 3 ou 4 steps , in two versions :
AVENTURE
: 4 steps : 42+ 50 +50 + 58 km = 200 km
EXTREME
: 3 steps : 42+100+58 km = 200 km
Bivouac at the finish of every step
Runners and walkers
Fellow possible.
The
Gaspé
The
Caribou Track 
It
can be done in 3 or 4 steps, in the following versions :
ADVENTURE
: 4 steps : 42+ 50 +50 + 58 km = 200 km
EXTREME
: 3 steps : 42+100+58 km = 200 km
The 2 versions are hard, because of the length and the elevation.
The marquers will be present in every 400 m and in every changing
of directions.
Check points in every 15/20 km.
The bivouacs ,"Arrival" et "departure" are
common .
The
only difference,
it's a step of 100 km non stop or 50 + 50
with un bivouac near the lake Caspédia
