    • Yes, today was interesting. I don't like to(maybe refuse to is more accurate) ride poor conditions, so planning has fallen into my lap, both winter and summer. I spent the day with TATA, the northern clubs' FB offerings, the ITG and the weather network.  Regarding the storm, I took two risks. First, that we could drive to KL tomorrow. Second that the trails would be passable on Tuesday. I was almost skunked by too much snow earlier this winter in the Parry Sound area, when we couldn't see the edges of the trail. We are counting on at least the A trail being open to Kap on Tuesday. It remains to be seen if that is too much of an ask. As for accommodations, yes they were running out. Settled on the KL Super8 Monday and Friday nights. Advantage Inn in Kap Tuesday and Thursday nights. Comfort Inn and Super8 in Kap had only King single rooms, etc left. Hearst was getting tight for Wednesday night, but we got two rooms at the Companion with meals and indoor sled parking on the sledder plan. If any OCers are on the Corridor this week and see us, say hello. We are the group of 3 old and really old guys on the Blue Yamaha Apex and 2 black 2018 Skidoo 900 Aces. We have had the pleasure of meeting 1049 and his wife, Nunz, wife and friends, Soup, and Volunteer2 and friends on this similar trip in previous years. Hope everyone is getting some sledding in these next 2 weeks. Rick
    • The sleds were rentals i assume? Hard to put a price on memories like that but how much $ for the 650 a week/day?    I took a look at their map online and yes thats a big network of trails to explore. I guess it would be a weather timing thing  to plan a saddle bag trip across the whole island. Thanks again for sharing this. 
    • Very little traffic..we rode Wed to Tues w a rain day on Sunday. Saturday was a beautiful day and traffic was very light. 
    • Not sure on total km..but lots. The off trail areas to explore from the groomed trails are massive…absolutely huge area of crown logging rds and bogs to explore. Most use a gps and I can see why. 
    • The gas station at Smooth Rock seems to have many issues of running out of gas, that said they pump a lot of fuel there. Jeff said in his first post that they carry fuel and so they should be good to get to Kap or at least Moonbeam without any issues no matter whether they come up the C to SRF or go to SRF via Cochrane and the A trail.
