Zertrider Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Was hoping to drop South of Parry Sound Thursday and ride to Sudbury, but I see the C is closed in the Henvey Inlet area. Is it a lack of snow issue (which might clear up before then) or a trail permission issue? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to change plans on where we drop. Still want to hit Sudbury (actually Hanmer to visit a buddy), and maybe ride over to NB or SSM. Gonna spend a couple days in the area.

You could try to find out if C105D is going to open soon.That is a real easy work around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if the C in that area is not open I would think the c105d is less of a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketcase Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 We rode out of Alban last Saturday. Tons of snow and trails were awesome. One of the most southern points in that area the trails are yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 We also rode out of Alban about 3 weeks ago. It was just a day after they turned yellow. Was very good then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different club and district. I think a groomer took out a Hydro pole on c105d and they are waiting for a fix. A group is packing the C section tomorrow.

Booked at Valley Inn Thursday night and NB Friday. Make one somewhere in Parry Sound for Sat night and call it done. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running Wild Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 As of Sunday it didn't appear that the 'C' trail east of Mill Lk in Parry Sound has been groomed yet. There is a new billion $$$ ? wind farm at the Henvy Reserve north of Parry Sound and they are in the process of installing a a new transmission line to feed the power south to a terminal very close to the old Jolly Roger just south of Parry Sound. Some of the trails are affected by this project ,ie mud and gravel and possible trail closures? Maybe Wild Bill from the Seguin culb will have more info. When the project is complete it might benefit snowmobiling as we might be able to use some of the new right of ways? No trouble going from the Jolly to Parry Sound and north to Ardbeg on the trails west of the 'C' trails. Rw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily not on our dime,but they still get the preferred rate for green power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody will be writing cheques except the end users of hydro. Useless solar and wind projects are nothing more than a feel good liberal pipe dream that costs us billions every year. Add natives to the equation and our tax dollars are paying for their share of the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, Pattern is US based, worked for that developer many times over the years! However, you missed the fact that it is a 50/50 JV with the reserve and guess where their share of 750 million comes from? Certainly not from all the jars of cash they have buried in the back yard lol. You and me Mister. Why do you think it is being so poorly managed currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think it is being so poorly managed currently? There is NO cash buried in the back yards on Henfy. Maybe at the Pot shop lol .The project has been a screw up from day one.From environment issues and lots of other stuff. Fire comes to mine. I have no idea why it has been so poorly managed ,do you have some incite into this ?.I live on the hwy 69 corridor and well aware of the total disregard and waste of this project.--on a daily basis.I just hope they get off our trails soon.Not looking forward to them pulling all there temp bridges as per the Ministry of No Results and F---guidelines We will see what happens in the spring.Got a feeling we will have lots of holes with all are culverts gone. The latest issue is with the transmission lines across the lake,potential aviation hazard--float planes and water bombers.There is no Transport Canada requirement to install ball markers.Ontario Hydro does it out of liability reasons.I asked them what procedure they use to update aviation charts.They basically told me to F$%k off.Years ago I pulled 3 people out of s float plane,don't want to do that again. Oh and we need help opening C trail to the key River,your viper won't do it. too much snow.Know anybody with a Summit or such?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMSOMAIR Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The Viper and the Sidewinder may not but the 1990 Phazer II with 34000kms will float right over all that deep stuff! Shes like brand new baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
