That looks great, thank you for some inside info! A group of will be heading there coming Saturday for 8 days! We will try to stay out of alma st Jean areas. We may head north of lac st Jean through valin around tudussac to saugaunay then down Mt apical and stay at la tuque. I hope they get snow, but does not look promising.

Yep missed again.......as of now (7am) there is only 4 inches on the ground where we are (30 min north of PS). doesn't look like we are going to get too much snow. hoping that the wind changes or something and it hits us.

I know you can park in dunchurch down by the outdoor arena. There is a park by the lake in mckellar you may be ok with as well for the day. Go north or east, snow is pretty thin near parry sound thus far.

Picked up the new sled today, look forward to riding the new doo! I didn't get the additional lights and I am thinking I should upgrade the headlights.

i love all the covered bridges in that area!

I was told that mine is supposed to ship this week according to the dealer. We will see. Glad that you have at least one for now.

Yes to the studded track and scrachers, I would not want to do it without.. when we did it, was not a stitch of snow

Friend took me out last year riding over the island, we got to the island from south of the swing bridge. The conditions were not the greatest when we did it, as it was glare ice, but it did look rather safe other than the 5 or so bubblers that we had to skip. I'm sure we could have went around them, but as a follower i followed...lol I don't know what the safe time frame is for sledding across. Closer to the upcoming season, i could send you some gps tracks that we took. We ended up getting off at Glenn Burney marina and hopping on the fitness trail and heading north.

If you still have a problem, Georgian bay trailers is the one mentioned above off of ostler park drive. If its a bolt you just need? hit up parry sound auto parts or muskoka auto parts. I am always in parry sound, usually daily if you should need a hand or any tools.

They have some heavy equipment in on the hydro line doing work in that section. i seen a excavator there last week on my way by, not quite sure what they are doing, because i had thought that there was already a new bridge over the creek in that area. There maybe a little lake jump around that spot, but like you i always run nine mile.

My sidewinder 141 xtx has a 1.6 cobra, and i just hit 17k km for the track. It still looks like great, and i should get another few seasons out of it. I put in dupont sliders 2 years ago. I do not ride roads too often(when i can avoid them), and i am careful not to hammer it in low snow conditions. For my riding i will most likely stick to the 1.6, but if i think i was going to road ride alot and hammer it on low snow/rocky conditions i would for sure want something smaller.

I am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a good parking spot as far south on the C as possible? i am having to trailer from Parry Sound...what a joke... Ramsomair are you in for a weekday ride? Anyone else from the forum wanting to meet up for a ride?

i was ice fishing in some back lakes yesterday when a conservation officer stopped to check things out. He had mentioned that the trails are being used by lots of people, and had no sign of any opp on the trails. Not so many road crossings for them to sit up in this area, as they will be waiting a long time.

I had found it reasonable for what you get. Seemed the same prices as tapatoo, only the rooms were nicer we had thought. And yes it seems like a crap meal at mc d's is over 15$ now..haha......cheap=no nice=YES

I Dont think it was mentioned, but the Log Cabin Inn, off the 209 is a pretty nice spot. Wife and i usually hit there once a year for a nice dinner and stay. Rooms are nice and the food is good. It is listed on the sled map.
