jrhz06 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yup. Rode from Beech River to past Hawk Lake turned around and rode about half way to Hali then headed home. Some sections were great and some needed more snow. They've done a good job with what they have to work with. Trails get better as you get farther east. No open water, not even by Bakers pond. We just need more snow which is supposed to be coming next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Great to hear! Did you go on any lakes? Yes it looks like we are going to get snow everyday this week! Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 No, I can wait until they're staked. Maybe we'll be lucky and get snow and staked lakes next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Anyone running twelve mile lake this year pleas be careful of pressure crack that have formed on the lake. They are about 3/4 of the way up the lake if your heading north, they are not huge but they will throw you off if you don't see them. On the map they are just west of the 35 which is hwy 35 on the point. If someone can tell me how to edit the map i could put a mark on the map. https://www.google.ca/maps/place/12+Mile+Lake+Bed+and+Breakfast/@45.0302239,-78.7010516,4822m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x4cd5098ce9b5dabb:0x679bf00219dbff3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 gobills, I have sent you a PM with a lengthy set of steps to create and upload your map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks gobills, that pressure crack has been there for a bit this year. From what has been reported to HCSA this is new this year. Not a staked trail so I can't comment but please advise the folks that want to go the best you can. Moose and Eagle were checked and staked today and there will be more to come this week. What is really needed is more snow as we can only groom the same snow so many times until it doesn't even make a difference. jhrz06 did you change your avatar this week to reflect localvolunteers/goomeer operators/moi? 'cause it sure is fitting!! Going out in AM to get stuck in the muck groomer on #7 and will see what happens this week. Will get in touch with the folks that volunteered to stake lakes and just keep going forward. Livin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think the new avatar reflects how many volunteers and club members feel right about now. Its been a tough go so far this year. Lots of good work done by many people with very little to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgooding Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Good job guys. Hopefully the 3°C on Tuesday doesn't hurt too much. Maybe with so many other trails available, there won't be as much traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ya man had to get some gas in the early morning. Since there is no fuel again in Carnarvon. Just a thought maybe that should go on the website as it was a few years ago when this happened. Man i wish a Shell station would go in there.

livin' on the b103 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Oh yeah, will be downgrading the rail line to limited. Too warm to groom so don't expect much until we can get out again, hope to do a clean up of trails that survive before the weekend. We really need some sort of consistent winter weather. By "we" I mean basically all of Ontario!! Livin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
