If you want cheap there is a motel beside the XTR gas station just as you are coming into Haliburton I was getting gas there and the sign was $ 80 a night . Sorry can't remember the name .

Everyone rides the edge of the road through town over the bridge , it's a tough go if there is no fresh snow same thing to get through Norland.

Nice ride up through Temagami , no place to stop at after Temagami for coffee or food . The trail goes through the gas station parking lot. Sand Dam parking lot is a bit of a lonely place to park, I have parked there a few times never had any problems. Sometimes theres 20-30 trucks and trailers some times your the only one . If your staying the night the Water Front Inn is a good spot Restaurant at the hotel and lcbo across the street.

Its a wide road and has been plowed in the past but if there not logging the area may not be plowed.

Yes it is a paved road , the plow driver does a good good of cleaning all the snow off the road . I think it was 10km (6miles) from the trail on Ranger lake road to the secondary road /logging road turn right and follow to the trail. Not many spots to get off the road and get snow in your track so if you see a good spot get into it

quebecrider forum has some good info and stories about The White Trail and some other interesting info on Labrador

Nice travels you have Solmo ! Is there trail acess right at the Rodeway Inn or is there a bit of road running to get there ?

interesting.............whats the new ride

I rode a few hundred miles with a 5000 cat , after 3 tanks of fuel l averaged about 25% more on each tank on my new Yamaha. Now that it is broke in it has only gotten slightly better, the turbo makes it easy to burn a bit more. I think for the price you can not go wrong buying that cat 5000!
