Giddy UP

Just read in North Bay Nippising News. Starting Jan 21st at 12:01am until lockdown is over

When we were up there - the parking lots were full. There are still quite a few up there on saddlebag trips. We started ours 10 days ago just before it started getting crazy....we just returned yesterday and our friends coming home today from a trip they started on the 8th. Those of us that were up there when it was declared a state of emergency decided to just stay put as things were nuts back home and we believed we were safer there behind our helmets and out on the trail social distancing than coming home. We sanitized our room ( as we always do when we travel with Lysol wipes) and always carry our hand sanitizer as we are "travellers" and have done this for years anyway - nothing really new for us. But - what we were doing was "social distancing" when in restaurants, etc. Always handling the gas pump handles with gloves on etc. Those that are now heading up with all the warnings in place and risking the spread of the virus as irresponsible IMO...and if it was me I certainly would not go at this time if I hadn't already been there and risk bringing the virus to the north from the city. The hospitals up there are not equipped to deal with this as most only have 2 ICU beds and don't have the equipment to deal with it as the bigger hospitals in the city. Stay home! Stay safe!

Enjoy the last couple of days! We headed home yesterday before the storm hit. We had a great 10 days up there. Hope to see you again next year

You bet!! We usually head up every year for our “pilgrimage”. I will let you know when we book for next year!

Glad we got our riding in when we did! Sad to see the season end so soon up there with all the snow. But it was the right call under the circumstances. That’s a wrap! See you next year!

Awesome Mr. Mouse!!! Thank you for this recommendation. I was also looking at that place, but thought a bit swanky for some in our group - however, I will definitely recommend it to them!! Especially like the "Hot Tub" option you know it!!!

Great info. Thank you!

Thanks everyone for the response. Now we just need some snow!! Giddy UP!

Looking for the recommendations for accommodation in Timmins somewhere that a truck and trailer can be left, restaurant close to or onsite preferred and trail access. TYIA Doing my Snow Dance! Giddy Up
