I had gotten out of my gear when sledjunk got the message that you had passed by the motel. Otherwise I probably would've buzzed over for a visit. Does the trip from Kap to Timmins seem a lot longer w/ the SRF portion of TOP C closed? It does yes but we're usually not in a rush to get to the truck from Kap anyway so it's all good. It is a nice option though, I hope it opens next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yesterday, Chandos_Rob, Moosifer and I went to Smoothy's for lunch and finished by doing a bunch of loops. 380 Km for the day and Smooth Rock was the furthest we were from the hotel. Here is the track from the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Today, the same three of us rode out to Hearst for lunch and decided to try the Pizza Place as Denis had said it was trail accessible. We found the route there, but, alas, they only open at 2 PM on Sunday. Back to the 'old faithful', the Companion. Had a nice lunch then headed back. We decided to try a small loop up L159, across L161, and back down L153. 310 Km for the day, then it was time for Moosifer to pack up and drive home. Here is the track for the day. Some pics from the turn off to Mattice Oh, and this happened on the way back to Kap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow, Rob and I will do another ride, but the weather is warming up and calling for a little rain on Tuesday, so we will likely head home. I'll try to get a total for the trip.

Techdenis007 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I was spying on your SPOT tracker on our way home this afternoon... we passed Mattice as you were coming back down the East side of the river. Had it been closer, I'd have waited for you at the A intersection. Having driven 600 miles over the last couple of days I wanted home. One last handshake and a few minutes to chat would have been nice. How was that loop BTW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loop was quite nice, but the trails were getting a little soft, so I was experiencing a lot of darting. I hope things hold up for another couple of weeks.

sledjunk Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Today, Rob and I started off with a quick ride to Bidule Restaurant in town for breakfast as Papa Francos is closed Mondays. Then we figured we would head over to Smooth Rock for lunch as this was going to be a light day to avoid the warm temps. On the way, we did the complete Nursery Loop near Moonbeam. We stopped off at the lookout over the dam at Smooth Rock for a couple of pics. Here you can see the tracks left by an 'adventurous' soul. As we were still a bit early for lunch, we decided to take A to L107 to A103 and back to A for a short 20 Km loop. Had lunch at Smoothy's and again the service was horrible. Left the restaurant, fueled up and headed back. The plan was to take L119, L125, A, L127, A, L123, and L143. On the way across L123, we came across a couple of groups of sledders gathered around a tree that was felled by a beaver across the trail. The tree was about 8 inches in diameter so it had to be cut. Once cut, everyone gathered together to pick it up and throw it off the trail. After chatting for a few minutes, we parted ways and continued on. About 5 minutes down the trail, we encountered a large moose on the trail. By the time I got stopped, he got spooked and jumped off the trail. We proceeded slowly to see if we could catch another glimpse, but no luck. Just around the next corner, and back up to speed, there was an even larger moose running down the trail. Two separate sightings in one day!!! We logged 278 Km on our 'light' day. Here is our track for the day. Back at the motel, Rob loaded up and headed home. I will be departing in the morning. It has been a great trip, logging 2402 Km on the GPS. Hopefully this is not the last trip of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Will have to check out the lookout trail the next time I'm thru there. How well marked is it off TOP A? We may have seen the signs, but not sure what you would see from it. @slomo here's the map from the 3 days that I was up there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
