The 1st day on the snow looks good:

Not sure if this pertains to the Wawa & surrounding area or not:

The trip will go from New Liskeard to Timmins, Chapleau, Dubreuilville, Hearst, Cochrane, Gogama, Elk Lake, then back to New Liskeard.  Should be a great trip.

 

Now time for bedEarly start in the AM.

That's a great trip. Did it the opposite direction almost 20 years ago ( holy crap time flies) but we left from KL.

I recall it being almost an even 1000 miles.

The XTR station in Englehart has closed since the ESSO opened last summer.

 

Picked up a couple of Poo riders in Ramore

Yes it is.

 

NL to Englehart on A, L189 & A108 was drifty and rolling bumps. A bit tricky getting to TOP A in Earlton. Snowbanks really high obscuring signage.

 

A108 north from Blanche River had been groomed. Loose snow on trail north of KL.

 

TOP A was good to Ramore and then again trail drifted in around the Val Gagne fields.

Safe and sound in Chapleau. The road running east of Chapleau has been mitigated. Be aware there vehicle traffic on this section.

 

288 klicks. -24* in Timmins, -15* here.
