That dead horse you speak of should be replaced with a new horse . Reports get tossed into a box and put on a shelf . The snowmobile community needs to have a presence trail side and have some ability to levy punishment. Peer pressure from other snowmobilers goes along way I have personally witnessed this many times . OPP can't be everywhere , club members can target trouble areas . I will not be filing any reports but if l see someone being an idiot I'm going to let him or her know . Last week while out doing trail work I ? two riders about permits both had them in their pockets after a brief conversation the permits magical became placed on the windshield That's my approach some my not agree . not meant to offend anyone .

Yes I knew that was coming. She called me yesterday to get the club's perspective. I thought it best to have her talk to the prez, Steve Surprised by how much the MPP for the area is onside with this.

It's staked. Still riding, check in later.

Got 7 inches of fresh powder overnight here in Echo Bay area. Even with just my old 340 cc cat....it is a ball running my fields and trails !!... snow is still coming down , expecting another 4 inches. I guess I better do the driveway now

Wow, your memory is way better than mine. I'll remember it about 3 AM tomorrow possibly.

Yesterday summer, today winter...At least the forecast looks promising..

FXR Bikini??...

From today Looking for your house @Bigfish It turns out I wasn't supposed to be here. RLSD #504 was closed & ends in the middle of nowhere. The tracks I was following seemed to be very organized until I got south of CR #2 & ended up in a farm with some horses. Talking to some people about the one Cydesdale (named Ollie). They didn't seem too upset that I was there. When asked about the snowmobile trail, the 1 lady said that snowmobiling was allowed in the filed I had ridden out of. When I turned around & went west, the trail petered out here (the tracks just turned around. Maybe a partial tour this season. Heritage Line over the trail north of Keene.

Yep, I had one. 1975 Elan 300SS. It only had one carb. Slide rail skid jacked way up and it was fast for the day. Over 70mph on the gun when the windshield would collapse inward. Ah, life was so much simpler then haha

Like Get Smart says: “Missed it by that much”

@Turbo Doo Does Royal have them in their catalog? I have seen bikinis for the redneck girls on Realtree shopping sites.

Not sure how much riding i would be doing if that happened

Enforcement, Enforcement, Enforcement! Signs don't work, preaching to the choir doesn't work. Most people on these forums or who follow club pages. I would think people know by now to stay on trail and are abiding snowmobilers. The only way, and this is coming from my contacts from different police agencies is to report,report report! Whether its a club, club volunteer or just a friendly snowmobiler witness, to off trail riding or trespassing, report it. The O.P.P and different police agencies need these reports (data) to build a case for more funding. We can all agree the trail patrol program being watered down, and the S.T.O.P program being discontinued is a blow to how we protect and enforce the trails. It's not coming back in the forseeable future. We are beating a dead horse on that matter.. So the only way at this time is to report, report, report! I would hope that all people friendly to organized snowmobiling would take this approach, and in know way am I speaking on behalf of the OFSC. I am speaking as a friend to organized snowmobiling...

Nice to see new snow pretty windy out in the fields all ready seen 15 sleds out really bad car wreck right past the Esso on listowel rd. Hope everyone involved was ok

I'll have to check to make sure, but I am fairly certain the Everest here is aluminum. Should take a picture of it beside the brothers 19 Blizzard, but would have to do some rearranging.

Dad's 78/79 Everest 440 has the same decals on it too, but never went "folded windshield fast". 89 MX would though, right around 130 kph. LoL, good times.

Maybe a couple of inches. Temp hasn't started to drop yet. Finally a groundhog I can believe in

Ran it on Tuesday. Main track was beat down like the 401. Was open through the narrows on south end. More sketchy on west side of islands. Lots of fish huts out.

Hats off to the Kearney Cookhouse for the Updates !!! If anymore more updates are available please let us know . My favourite sleding grounds of all times and hopefully i can convince my wife to buy a cottage in the area. Awesome biggest little town if i can remember the sign correctly lol

Thanks Slomo, I should have thought of that myself. The large rectangle is the building lot and the small rectangle is the lake access lot.

Are you able to get location and boundaries using google maps? For example: Hope this helps. Is there a snowmobile trail near by?

Great spot in the summer Excellent BBQ and great Blues!

She needs an FXR jacket LOL

Had a quite a bunch of them that the engine went down on. There were a few that worked pretty well and I was lucky enough to have one. My buddy had one that worked a little better than mine top end wise.

Exactly, were any of those ever purchased by Ontario Districts/Clubs although almost impossible with the industrial groomer mandate which doesn’t suit in all circumstances. I still have nightmares about the SS-RSC sinking their BR on D trail on the return trip after turning around at Trout Lake and heading back south to Birch’s Road. Skandics or similar aren’t suitable for cutting the moguls on heavily moguled trails such as this which is almost continuous swamps and ponds.

Ahhhh, just have another whiskey..

I'd forgotten about the windshield thing LOL. Must be going really fast now!

Black is the New Orange ,

Yes we must be courteous to hikers on trails, who knows they could be the land owner and you don't want to piss them off

Any mother daughter combos like my experience the other day?. ... I had to of course slow down, like really slow, you know, being courteous. It was a sun visor lifting slow ride by, and a nice wave..

Lol.. The winds look promising this time but you might be just a bit to north of the squall line lol..

Give him a stress attack why don't yah...

They have missed the mark every other time so I’m not holding my breath. Forecast shows 31 cm in the next 4 days. Wanna bet we don’t get 15???

Ramsomair look at this teaser

I had one as well. Single carb.Machine looked new from the dealer as a left over.$595.00

Glad you had a good ride. Milverton is good drop point, once they get another blast of snow. Good ride over to Mitchell and south to Exeter and north to seaforth over to listowel and back to milverton.

Thank you to all those above, Eric and others who have reported on D9 conditions this winter. I was serious when I said I was looking for info for non OC friends to help with their planned Wednesday ride. I have not been feeling well (not Covid 19) with age related physical discomfort, so was going to skip a ride. Then, by Tuesday afternoon, 3 out of 4 had bailed on my #1 riding buddy. I had to step in to save his ride. We had two locations in mind for or ride. We were leaving out of Mt Forest and we were having outdoor lunch with a non sledding friend in Kincardine. This ended up being our route: MF, Holstein, Ayton,Neustadt, Chesley, Eden Grove, Tiverton, Kincardine, Little Egypt, Teeswater(fuel), Mildmay, Neustadt and back to MF as we left. Great ride, given that in much of that route there weren' 4 inches of standing snow. Despite that the fields were very well groomed. Most snow we saw was in the Teeswater/Mildmay area. For sure there was snirt and even dirt(small patches) in some bush sections and along a couple of roads, but who's complaining - we are snowmobiling in southern Ontario in February. Kudos to the clubs, district and groomer operators. The next couple of weeks look good for our recreational pursuit. Get out thru the week if you can. We saw other sledders, but not many all day. Thanks again OCers for helping with our route.

Since the bag is on trial...what's the charge?

Not sure what map you are speaking of. There is none of the Benmiller trail on the online map.

Just slowing down to a crawl, giving them lots room and wave will do the sport a great deal, maybe even catch on with the young'uns. Today I came across a fellow walking his dog from behind neither of them turned around as I approached with a nice quiet sled (he had ear buds in as it turned out) so I just crawled passed them to I didn't startle them, I felt good that I didn't scare him and I am sure they felt the same.

Same for me pretty much always. I slow down to a crawl and move over as far as possible...just common sense.

Camp Northland, whose property the trail ran through to Haliburton Lake Rd., had issues with the OFSC insurance policy for landowners. They pulled the land use agreement until there were improvements made to the policy, and here we are... Same situation existed at Camp Towhee ( B Trail near West Guilford ) The trail was almost closed until they found that B trail was old "Legacy" trail and belonged to the County. It was a "close" call.

Drove up to have a look at Hali lake on Friday. No stakes as of then, I have said it before, if that lake is not staked... DON'T GO. It is too bad we lost the way in through Moose and Eagle, they are long frozen safe. Hali Lake is unsafe and unpredictable in cold years, it just got into the minus 20's here the last few days, should set up soon. There is no issue with PHU boundaries, that problem is where HCSA, Maple Leaf, and Opeongo meet (Whitney) and where Paudash and Maple Leaf meet south of Lake St Peter. Livin'

Well if you worked in the industry, we know which line you like to tow ......

Justin Trudeau importing Covid patients into Canada so we have more positive tests and easier for his agenda to get through.

Hmmmmm? Let’s see, a flight arrived from Jamaica last Thursday and every passenger on board tested positive for Covid. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to be there to welcome them back as I had to work. I am doing my part to make sure the public sector workers staying at home to avoid this dreaded Chinese produced virus can still receive full pay and benefits paid for by the Canadian private sector workers.

Many of the gravel roads in our area appear like they are getting some salt put on them as they are bare right to the grass in many areas.
