revrnd Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Looking for a pic from our trip thru Amos back in '08 & I started going thru some our trip albums. From my 1st Northern Blastoff in 2000, lunch @ the Companion. My MXZ500 is parked beside the 700 XC We stayed @ the Two Bridges in Kap'. It did not get a favourable rating... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason T Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yep, riding a 1998 Touring lE 440 this year.. LOL and my father in law's 1997 touring 380. Just getting back into it after the family / kids thing. I forsee a 4 stroke in my future. My touring 440 has now over 24thousand on it !!! (mostly not by me) still on the trails this year, always starts, runs, low maintenance, just keeps going. With regular maintenance of course. spent about $400.00 on it this year, seat cover, carbides, ski skins, all new idlers, new belt, chain case oil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old rail bridge North east of Sudbury, the official trail goes around it now, there are no railings or sides so you want to be SLOWLY going across. Its not in the best of shape, but the view is spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL That's the one, I think its actually in better shape now, those big holes have wood over them. Definatley a point of interest if ever up that way.

Evil Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 It’s not scary at all. There’s grooves in the rail ties, your skis just follow Them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoso Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 That bridge is fine. Some people are nervous due to height and no railing. How many bridges have you crossed and how many times did the guard rail save you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinental couch Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I used to do roofing as a kid. Walking rails, trusses and high roof peaks. I have noticed that the older I get, the more heights bother me. I have never used an anti fall harness either. That certainly wouldn't help on a sled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Heights don't tend to bother me a lot as long as I have some even minimal sense of security. You couldn't pay me enough to be one of these guys though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 I mentioned an old map, well I found it: (Sorry about the blurry pic) I wonder if they were thinking of running the Sultan Industrial Road from the Watershed over to 129?

Went over it yesterday somebody added some boards in place of the missing rail ties so it’s a bit better. It has the most snow on the bridge that I’ce ever seen! I would have taken pics but it was a little chilly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
