Dan-Senior Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Cross-Country Riding Weekend The lower than usual snow levels and this past January's cold weather is making for stellar Cross-Country riding opportunities in south Algoma. We are heading into the deep interior on Friday to start a weekend of riding. The plan is to make a loop out of the trip and part of the route includes the Dunlop Lodge and the Dunlop Burger. Unfortunately, our friend Chad is not available this weekend to enjoy the Burgers. Here's a 23 Laker we pulled off a few years back with Scott, Paige, Brent, Chad and myself. Should be a great weekend for the XCR. Edited February 22, 2018 by Dan-Senior 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC+YA Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 That was a great day of riding. Thanks again for taking Paige and I along. We still talk about the way you just go long distance from point A to point B without trails. Loved seeing this this morning. Thanks Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-Senior Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Cross-Country Trip Photos Today's bush adventures brought us across 21 lakes and a series of swamps. Snow-depth was good on the west part of the route, but shy on the east side. Creeks and rivers are starting to open up due to milder weather. We hit open water in several spots.

Dan-Senior Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) New Engine In early January, I upgraded my XCR to a newer, higher-performance 440 engine. After 3 times out and various adjustments, I think its good. There's ample get-up-and go to stay above the slush and encounters with possible open water during my cross-country trips.

Dan-Senior Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Tomorrow's Cross-Country 3 of us are heading inland into South-Algoma tomorrow in search of old lumber camps that date back to the late 1800's. This is a stellar year for exploring due to low snow levels and good ice conditions. I have done this cross-country route alone in the past and am pleased to have 2 friends join me on this trip. Attached are some photos from my former adventure. Edited March 14, 2018 by Dan-Senior 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedProS Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 That’s awesome exploring new areas. Like the old style 440XCR!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Senior Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Cross Country Adventure - Winter Metal Detecting Trip On this trip, I connected with 2 seasoned pioneers who were my guide into the wilderness of south Agoma to a specific location that I have never been to before. Staging from Dunlop Lake Ontario, we headed inland via several lakes and bush trails to a a remote lake that is only accessible during winter months as there are no roads in. Our quest was to locate and explore what was a possible former lumber camp from the late 1800's early 1900's. Video Trip Attached 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pleasure Nunz. I have several routes that are a nice combination of OFSC and Cross-Country running all nicely rideable in 1 day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Senior Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Today's Cross Country Leaving the Sault at 9:30 am this morning, then arriving at the wilderness entrance point at 11:30 at Endikai Lake. Today's Cross Country run is all new territory for me, however, should be an exciting trip running the various new lakes & creeks. Destination is Keelor Lake, Lower Mace Lake, Claim Lake to Dunlop. Only doable if ice conditions allow. Here's the SPOT Tracker. Starts at 9:30 AM https://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0GSk1e5vHie9VHKcdycOdUEMl6FqP8rVs Dan Edited March 26, 2018 by Dan-Senior 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ox Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Man, I don't know that I have seen that large of a collection of wedgies in 25 years! That's good riding! I'm good with exploring, as long as someone's got the chainsaw. The axe is OK for the occassional deadfall, but on a route like that - I hope someone had a motor on their axe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-Senior Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Cross Country Video Today was a good day. New territory was nice to see and explore. I had my metal detector and digging tool hooked on the back of the sled and managed to locate a few old lumber camps along the way. Unfortunately, I lost my axe on a steep hill at Pathfinder Lake. Otherwise, no other issues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
