Awesome report, WD. Your sense of humour adds flavour to the tale.

 

I see you entered an arctic cat repair shop just before taking the picture of the church.

 

I'm sure you gentleman are destined for many more adventures next season. Sledjunk will have to be extra careful.

That was excellent reporting there Clark Kent!!haha

Good point Sled Junk on the Freaking Polaris holding us up.

Also no mention of how perfect all the Ski-Doo's were.Only problem was belt change on ski-doo was because of a freaking Polaris rider not being able to harness all awesomeness of BRP!!

Now all bow your heads as we all Neal before the all mighty BRP,Amen!,(tabernac)

I crack myself up!!

But seriously ,what a great group of people we have here,thank u all for making it so easy and fun!! I think I have found some new mid-week riding friends for next yr.

Don't know if I can handle Two Freaking Polaris riders in the group!!

Later,Bob.(aka HM,aka action photographer at your service)

Awesome report !!!  Love the tons of pics, we did the Abitibi river crossing ferry a few years ago in the summertime, what a neat deal !  One of only 2 remaining in Ontario.  

 

Good to see pics of UF, you haven't changed a bit !

Great report as usual Glenn.

The laughs and fun are always there on every trip we've been on this season.

We've found another mid week rider for next season, so now there will be two freakin fuel sipping Ski Doos.

Can't wait  till next season to ride and maybe meet some more of the great OC people.

That Timmins / Cochrane trail was one of the local Timmins trails that I'd never done when I lived there a few years ago.  We didn't adventure too far with a 250 Polaris mind you, but we did every other trail around town with it !  

 

Nice pics UF !
