  1. Geraldton to Nipigon is doable. Just follow the Natural Gas pipeline. Bring Gas! As you near the Nipigon River, you'll cross a road that may or may not be plowed, that runs toward Cameron Falls dam. That's about the only way to cross the river. When you cross the river, you'll ditch bang for a while until you get to hydro lines, that you follow most of the way to Nipigon. Most of this route will have snowmobile traffic. From there, maybe best to try and find somebody to trailer you. Sorry. My trailer contact has moved on. Good luck.
  2. Still some excellent riding to be had in Thunder Bay.
  3. I did it with the super light weight cover that came with my old early 90's yamaha. The cover and machine survived fine. Not so much my ears, from my wife giving me grief over it. I now use the power washer on the heavier canvas covers on my Polaris sleds. BP
  4. Not trying to stir stuff, but I think it also kinda says something about who the the Other parties keep picking to lead them?
  5. Thunder Bay this morning.
  6. Probably a ferry. They tend to not like ice. Freeze up and Break up are equally challenging in the far north.
  7. I think its what THEY call Kushog Lake.
  8. I'm not an expert by any means, but they wanted to go through the park, adjacent to the existing line, but the parks folks wouldn't allow it.
  9. Whole new line. They are running it adjacent to the existing line, as much as possible, except around Pukwasa Park, where its on a brand new right of way.
  10. There is a new line being constructed between Thunder Bay and Wawa called the East-West tie. As far as I understand it, we have a surplus of power in the North-west, and there's no way to get it over to the more populous regions to the east.
  11. I hear you about Purolator. They are the absolute worst. Ironically, Canada Post delivers (almost) to the door, while I have go into town to Purolator's depot to get stuff. Having said that, currently waiting a package from CanPar that was supposed to have been delivered Tuesday, but seems to have gone into a black hole in Toronto.
  12. There is a huge interest in sledding, just not riding groomed trails.
  13. It would be the mid 90’s, just off the top of my head. I was heavily involved with the Nipigon club around then. I recall making the run a couple times on my 93 Enticer. Lol.
  14. Actually, Thunder Bay was not the black hole. At one time, they boasted the largest snowmobile club membership anywhere. A township south and west of Thunder Bay(Neebing) was the black hole. Thunder Bay was very pro snowmobile until 3 or 4 crappy winters, and the local economy tanking killed the number of permit holders. The club couldn’t recover and that was the end of organized snowmobiling here. Nobody has been interested enough to try and bring it back.
