I'm not quite as enthused after realizing it's a little over 7 hours behind the wheel to get there.... I'll keep contemplating and see if I can convince my wife to go. It's not the destination, it's the journey. She would like the Super 8 in Kap. Try to get room 107 or 109. Ask for sledder rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Advantage Motel is good for a guys sledding weekend. No fancy stuff like pool and hot tub, though. Not sure I'd recommend it for the wife, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Have a great weekend guys!! Sorry we can't make it up there, Looks like the Hornepayne club have shut their trails down and the Kap club is having some water issues and posted on their FB page they may be closing down trails soon. I will share any updates if I hear anything. Nunz Kap Sno-Rovers Yesterday at 12:12am · Update on our trails in Kapuskasing. With this warm weather, we are having issues with water on the trails. The " A " trail along highway 11, has water completely across the trail. Other trails also has water , especially where there are small creeks and beaver dams. Should this warm weather persist , we will have to close our trails due to very unsafe condition. Please drive carefully, slow down and enjoy your ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catinental couch Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 You may see my youngest son and his buddy up there this weekend. Just a little guy(340 lbs) on a 2010 Cat 800 with a 141 x 2.5 inch paddle track. His buddy is on an 800 Polaris Switchback 144. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks Denis. We had an inkling that might happen and therefore moved to Cochrane. Good to know, though, seeing as I am not on FB. 29 minutes ago, catinental couch said: You may see my youngest son and his buddy up there this weekend.

slomo Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Was not aware of the health benefits! "Cows who don’t get to live the grass fed life are stuck chowing down on commercial feed...." Thanks Blake! Not only that, there seems to be lessons in human employee management attached to the premise: Contented Cows Still Give Better Milk, Revised and Expanded: The Plain Truth about Employee Engagement and Your Bottom Line Seeing the video reminds me of the spring time branding parties held in the Canadian west - it has since occured to me that separating the new calves from their mothers at these was easier than trying to separate kids from their cell phones.... Speaking of cheese - don't forget http://fromageriekapuskoise.ca/ in the Kap if you are there this year. No butter there though. MOO out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
