soupkids Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 NBSS was informed today that a logging company will be using C trail north to haul logs out all winter ( they tried not to). C trail will be rerouted but not marked on the paper maps, not sure about ITG either. I will try to post up the reroute this week sometime. Some may remember this trail from years ago.

Is re route going to mean extra miles again in between fuel stops and a large back track into shinning tree for fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pstn head Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 That's the "C" trail ("up past Thor Lake") that I miss so much. Oh boy I'm getting a little excited, hope my crew and I will get up that way this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No depending on your destination. If leaving from capreol to gowganda, yes longer. Rockies to gowganda, shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishHog Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 thanks for the info soupkids. Thinking of heading that way to the cottage for the weekend. I know I won't be sledding, but how much snow is on the ground? Just trying to figure out if I can use the quad, or if I'm on snowshoes and pulling a tobaggan? thanks, FishHog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 We have at least a foot. Should be able to get around with the quad, may not be easy in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. One year I called ahead and asked if they were open on the Tuesday as we would need gas to get to Timmins. I was told yes. Got there, nobody there. Generator running and lodge open. We helped ourselves and left money at the til. All was good in the end. The guy is always in Timmins looking after rental property problems.
