When you think about it, this stat says a lot. 150 sleds stopped, and only one non trail permit and some poor guy that forgot to renew his tag but had insurance and a permit, no drinking charges. That is damn good compliance. This kind of blows away the perception that sledders are a bunch of drunken outlaws.
nice report and great envy inducing pics. Really hoping for a positive turn in the weather soon down south here (and across ontario for that matter.) Missing the seasons a few years back with some consistency and hoping they're not gone for good. Keep the pics/reports coming they help me live vicariously through others until I can get out.

Good to see that they're concerned w/ the lack of permit on the sleds.
Thanks for the report. Might do a day up there this week. It has looked the same up there for a month now. Not sure conditions are any better than they were in early December.
The area where you stopped with fields on the E near the 933 is called Hamlins Flats and was a siding for lumber way back. The next property on the E east of there is owned by my family.
My season in Ontario often ends right in that spot. I can remember sitting there many late spring nights knowing it was my last kick at those trails for the season....then back to Quebec for several more!
