02Sled Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Ouch... how do you get out of that? Obviously you made it out but with the temps that water would be damned cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricky Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Doubly bad at these temperatures. I sure hope you weren't alone when that happened. Not that bad in spring temps with riding buddies and tow straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Whatcha doing in there Soup? Where you trying to pack that trail? Looks like it needs a few more days. Is that supposed to be the trail in the picture or does the trail cross it and we can't see it. Either way it sucks. Hope you are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet your back is gonna love you tomorrow.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Sudbury trails are all still closed and with soup's unfortunate incident, we know why. Hopefully he was able to get it out before it freezes in place and becomes an impossible task. With way that water looks, would be a difficult recovery no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoso Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 This must have something to do with the flood on C trail. the north river has flooded due to an ice jam. Where kevin is stuck looks like a river. Don;t worry about kevin, he could swim laps in there then walk home naked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Just a quick update. I'm fine, my son insisted I get looked at by professionals. He called 911 as I had spent 30 to 40 minutes in the water trying to recover the sled. EMS checked me out, other than raised BP all good. Now to the sled and the story behind it. Sled is still in the water, recovery effort tomorrow, I figure it will be a right off. Sled is under water, all you can see is the windshield. Here are the circumstances. C trail north is closed due to this spot. We (son and a friend came along) where checking to see where the ice dam was to see if it was possiable to remove the dam or once again reroute the trail. The trail initially had a couple on inches of flowing water on it. When the sled broke through I hammered the flipper but the belt had already got wet so down it went. We tried to get it out but only managed to get it deeper in the water. If anybody wants to help in the recovery we are meeting at the Tim's in Capreol at 11 am.
