Record Breaking Winter Based upon a report from the local Weatherman, Sault Ste. Marie has broken an all-time record for the most snow to be on-the-ground this late in the winter season. I'm sure other communities might be in the same situation. My backyard this morning. We received 68 cm of snow in April alone. Sudbury also at 68 cm of April powder.

Sault Ste. Marie For winter lovers...its been a great year for Sault Ste. Marie. One of my colleagues at work is an avid Searchmont Skier. I'm sure he will be all smiles today when I see him. A couple of photos from the City Centre this morning (one courtesy of Sootoday.com, the other, my driveyway).

That's amazing Ski, 5 months of sledding. You are having a great year! Sounds like your home investment in Dub is adding quality-of-life for you and the crew. We received 15cms of snow in the Sault. Searchmont was 20cm. Our friends Chad and Bob sledded from Searchmont to Halfway Haven and back and Saturday. Said the trails were mint. Should be nice riding waiting for you this upcoming week or weekend. A photo from my front door this morning. I'm located in the city centre, where snow is not near a much as compared to north of the Sault. Dan SSM

Sault Ste. Marie Fresh Powder throughout the Sault and Searchmont today. Our friends Chad and Bob are at Searchmont out for a ride. Still plenty of snow north of the city. I look forward to their report when they return tonight. Photos courtesy of Sootoday.com

For me, Peace-of-mind is my SPOT Tracker. I setup the link ahead of time, then email it to several people including some that are located at stop locations along the way. Those individuals take an interest and actually follow the map. Hope this helps. On another note, a retired friend of mine flipped his ATV in the wilderness during the summer and it had him pinned in such a way that he could not crawl out. Thank goodness he had a SPOT. Help arrived 3 hours later, to get the bike off him. Dan

I checked the Song Copyright. Hard to believe, but they block this song in the USA. Bizarre.

That's a bummer OX. Likely blocked due to my music selection. If you try it on a PC, it might work as sometimes they block tablets and smartphones only or visa versa. On another note, I do need to thank the local trapper for helping me plan this trip. He provided feedback in the days leading up to the adventure.

Cross Country Video Today was a good day. New territory was nice to see and explore. I had my metal detector and digging tool hooked on the back of the sled and managed to locate a few old lumber camps along the way. Unfortunately, I lost my axe on a steep hill at Pathfinder Lake. Otherwise, no other issues.

Today's Cross Country Leaving the Sault at 9:30 am this morning, then arriving at the wilderness entrance point at 11:30 at Endikai Lake. Today's Cross Country run is all new territory for me, however, should be an exciting trip running the various new lakes & creeks. Destination is Keelor Lake, Lower Mace Lake, Claim Lake to Dunlop. Only doable if ice conditions allow. Here's the SPOT Tracker. Starts at 9:30 AM https://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0GSk1e5vHie9VHKcdycOdUEMl6FqP8rVs Dan

Sounds like a nice weekend of fishing on Dunlop. Glad you had a good time on the lake. One of my daughters and I tentatively have a cross country run planned for this upcoming weekend into Dunlop Lake from highway 546. She enjoys riding the backcountry as well. Temperature looks to stay cool, which is welcome news.

Cross Country Adventure - Winter Metal Detecting Trip On this trip, I connected with 2 seasoned pioneers who were my guide into the wilderness of south Agoma to a specific location that I have never been to before. Staging from Dunlop Lake Ontario, we headed inland via several lakes and bush trails to a a remote lake that is only accessible during winter months as there are no roads in. Our quest was to locate and explore what was a possible former lumber camp from the late 1800's early 1900's. Video Trip Attached

Its been a few weeks since I was in Elliot Lake. I went back today for our Cross-Country run and was quite surprised to see the recent addition of snow north of the city. Certainly welcome news compared to 2 weeks ago. We hit good snow-depth in and around Dunlop Lake area and north-westward.
