It is like pre-pandemic at the border, for US residents going to Canada. Unfortunately, the US has not reciprocated that at this time. Ski

Warm up, rain has put a hurt on the snow and river ice. The nice thing is, once it does get cold and the snow comes, it will help "protect" the rocks, stumps from sled impacts. Sets up a nice base for the season. Water levels are high in the entire Algoma region.

ah, not enough snow for slush, yet. actually wind blowing snow off the ice. the next 4 days above freezing may set us back a bit. but, it is coming. Ski

Beauty of a day Eh? I need to do this with you sometime! Ski

I know some people left the site, and when they did they either deleted or attempted to delete some, most, or all of their posts. hope this is not the case for you. good luck, Ski

Dan plowed the house driveway. The river is fully frozen now. Almost game time. Ski

like short track, or mid length tracks dont tear up the trails. broad brush. Ski

Fresh snow

they're not? 6 bux a litre last year... there is a maintained road going to them. it isnt like they are like halfway haven, and they have to maintain the road to base camp. if they were not making money, they wouldnt be open, and wouldnt be doing it. just my .02 Ski

the way they act, I dont understand why anyone buys anything there. Ski

Makin more ice river is almost skimmed over. Ski

Makin ice. Open area is where a small creek comes in to the river, near the boat launch. Sending updates from the deer stand. Opening day. Ski

nope, camera lens is on one side of the bulb. you turn it so it is "horizoned" and the fine tune it, to your view/liking, with the bulbs position. this camera has a long contact area for power so you, and loosen it quite a bit, to get level, if your flood light adjustment doesnt fully get you where you need to be. Ski

@stoney, If you have motion detection activated, you can just go to the times when the camera has a motion event. then you are not needlessly searching. they know most people want that feature so, it gets you to buy in to their products. Ski

@stoney, I answered your questions, within you quoted message. let me know if you have anymore. I dont mind helping at all. Ski

Sengled LED Camera's. just need a flood light socket, and wifi. can turn them on, off, record, turn on and off the light, set up for motion detection etc... best of all, they look like regular flood lights so, no one sees, or thinks there is a camera. has two way communication too. you can turn on the listening portion, and or the microphone, and talk/listen through the camera. Made in Canada too! Ski

New high speed internet connection gives us access to having cams at the barn. Looking from the barn, the Magpie river is to your left, where the D trail heads north to Hornepayne. Looking up to the right takes you to the fuel station, and to D South, F East. Ski

Great news! congratulations on the recovery, and coming back to the hobby you love! Ski

most people carry 3 gallon caddy's. if a sled has a 10 gallon tank, and gets 10 or so mpgs, at 160-170 miles, they are going to need another 6 or 7 gallons to make that run (3-4 with a caddy). even if it gets more than 10 miles a gallon on good conditions, what is going to happen in bad? people are going to run out of fuel, and need to be rescued. that is going to happen this season. especially with some paper maps already floating around showing halfway open. I feel more concerned and bad for the groomer operators. there will be no place to rest, or swap out drivers easily. there are lots of logistics to be over come here. Ski

yes. Ski

still in the planning stages. supposedly there is a plan but, I dont know how they are going to do it, and not bear the liability of people trying those distances with no fuel stop, no real services or shelter for over 150 miles. time will tell. I look forward to hearing about the plan. Ski

In michigan they didnt just get LUP's, they bought the properties easement. no one can take the trail away from the dnr (your mnr), now. Ski

Nice! I would LOVE to do this. Get Marc to guide us from Dub to Hearst cross country, then Mylene the rest of the way to Moosonee. all cross country. I dont know him well enough to ask, though. Ski
