It was our first forum retreat and actually our first activity.  A beautiful Ski-Doo ride!

We had not made 500 feet that a policeman in ski-doo arrests us.   He starts talking to Michaela (who was in front)  but we are in Québec and he only speaks french!

As I walked up to him to explain pretty much all the group was english and I was going to talk to him I explained who we were, what we do and that I didn't want to tarnish our trip...bla...bla ...bla...

He says o.k. but look like you are mad because there are residentslooking at us and I want to make them think I am giving you a ticket... they are complaining about the speed of the ski-doos.   

Ah Ok...  but by that time I had my group who wanted to let him know how they felt... So I calmed them down... 

We were about to leave until another member (Chuck)  asks me... 'Ask him if I can take a picture with him and the police ski-doo, my son loves policemen.'    Ouch...  

Well he actually said yes!  We got no ticket and a picture for Chuck's son and everybody was on their merry way!
