Was thinking on trailering up to Wawa - anyone have any insight on the conditions up in that neck of the woods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Jones Powersports in Wawa posts on this site once in a while. Trail goes right by their shop. If you don't get an answer on the forum, give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking on trailering up to Wawa - anyone have any insight on the conditions up in that neck of the woods? No trails open yet. We have a good base but need some new snow to give us enough to work with to cover the rough sections. I groomed a bit last night and we will continue to get the prep work done while anticipating a few more inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zr862carb Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Gord we broke trail 8 and 9 over the weekend. trail 8 is good with no trees on trail. trail 9 has 3 or 4 trees. we had no saw so we went around them. it looks like u could just cut the buts and push them out of the way. the ponds on 8 are frozen well. the d trail was nice for what u had to work with. thank you for all your hard work! we sure enjoy it! Thanks from the crew at whitefish lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINNDIAN Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Wawa Lake is staked Hoping to do Hawk Lake this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC+YA Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi Jonesy, I saw facebook first and just got my answer about Hawk lake from this thread. We sometimes come up from the Soo and take the "old trail" cut through to Hawk Junction. We just use Tik Road and cross the bridge on Hyw. 101 over the river. Then cut back to Whitefish Lake and follow it around to Trail #8. That is great riding on the #9 & #8 loops! Thanks for the great job your club does with so few hands!

Ox Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 When did you start staking Wawa? Why? Some OFSC regs? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldguy Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 When did you start staking Wawa? Why? Some OFSC regs? . They have been staking since the trail over the hill has been closed. That is the trail to hawk now. It has been atleast 4 years that they have staked Wawa Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ox Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Gotcha! We always crossed the lake, but your right - it wasn't the actual trail at that time. That s'plains why Hawk was always staked then... There was a small lake / giant pond on the trail from Manitauwadge to Caramat that the trail crossed. It was mid season but no-one had been through yet, and we had a heck'uva time finding the exit off of there. Finally found it and spent the next 2 hours trying to climb the big hill in the trees as the snow was deep and soft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINNDIAN Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hawk lake is staked. changed a few more signs and now D North is open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINNDIAN Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The D South is now packed to Halfway haven. -40C temps this morning put a detour in our plan to head to halfway haven at 630AM with the drag. By 11am we had the furnace in the garage fixed and the groomer running and put inside so I can do some fuel line changes and have it ready to head to Halfway monday or tuesday.

FINNDIAN Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We will be heading South to halfway haven tomorrow morning. We got a good amount of snow the last few days, so have been waiting for it to stop coming down before we head out. The BR is down with a leaky lift pump so the Tucker will continue working on the rest of the trails when it's back from halfway. Our D north is open and D south is limited. T5 is also open. Hopefully I'll have time to do 8, 9 and 14 this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINNDIAN Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Russ groomed trail 7 to the magpie reservoir tonight and I just finished packing trails 8 and 9. Hope to pack 14 and drag 8 and 9 before the end of the weekend. This year is the most snow I've had opening 9 since it was made. Things are shaping up!
