02Sled

Goo Gone works quite well. I usually take last years permit off the windshield and clean the residue once it gets hot enough that I start to miss it being cold.

Same here... Current sled is perfect for me. Save the money for fuel... especially with the added carbon tax going up 33% April 1

The only draw back to the cargo trailers I have heard from a couple of people with them is that the floor is lower to the ground than most snowmobile trailers. On my hybrid for example the wheels are under the trailer with significant distance between them and the floor. With a cargo trailer the wheels are either on the outside of the trailer or wheel wells cut into the trailer. The minor problem comes when pulling into a parking lot or area that hasn't been plowed. The bottom of the trailer is dragging through (plowing) the snow and more prone to getting stuck than just having to get the truck and trailer tires to cut through the snow.

I agree on the set meal aspect. I have been to many places where that's all they have on the menu. Try getting just a sandwich, just a burger etc. They all come with something else.

Don't forget this has been a really difficult year financially for almost every service business to even survive in. I wouldn't have any problem at all with prices going up and charging for things like parking a truck and trailer, particularly when I ride off for a few days and am not staying there. A lot of places are fighting to pay their bills. We find we are ordering more take out than we would have dined out this past year in order to support our local businesses. We are also tipping much more generously for take out than we would have for dine in. The staff in these places are struggling as well.

wow... 11 hours. That's half way to Florida

I was happy my boat trailer is tandem axle. A couple of years one of the trailer tires on the road side decided to give up the ghost on the 400. It would have been running on the rim instantly without the extra axle. The remaining tire on that side got us off the 400 and into a commuter lot where I could easily and safely put on the spare.

and unfortunately way too many ASSUME that a snowmobile trail becomes an ATV trail in the spring and summer. We lost a section of C trail causing a reroute for that exact reason. Some are shared trails and some landowners grant permission for ATV's in the warmer seasons but not all. I have even heard an ATV rider filling up with gas commenting to his buddy... "I'm glad I carry bolt cutters with me now, too many idiots are padlocking the gates to OUR trails"

Don't shoot me for the question... there may be some drawbacks but would it be reasonable to provide some sort of contact information where snowmobilers could individually reach out to these generous people and actually express their appreciation.

Check out Georgian Bay Trailers... I saw an ad for sled trailers including ski guides and track for $7130 taxes included. Not sure what brand.

Big thanks to Dave and Carl... great idea. If the snowmobilers know who to thank in the community it would probably lead to a lot of acknowledgement of their generosity.

I agree... I try to avoid road running whenever possible. Another benefit would be for those whose 12 yr old kids are restricted from road running. If only that were true...

If you look at the legend on the paper maps there is a colour for trail on road but it's rarely used even though the trail is on the road. If you zoom in enough on the ITG you can typically see where the trail runs either on or parallel to the road.

Maybe it's time the fences were electric livestock fences... it is agricultural property after all. They keep horses and cattle in. I ducked under one that was on pulse once. It was enough to penetrate my coat and throw me face down.

I've seen similar. Typically I will leave just enough space in between to comfortably get a sled through if people are loading the trailer from where it's parked. Otherwise I'll leave enough space to pull ahead and make the turn with the trailer. Never anything like in your picture.

I want to be 25 years old again LOL

Henry's closed at Wye Heritage and there was supposed to be something new there this summer past but I don't know if it got off the ground with the virus. Delawana got new ownership a few years ago. They are renting units out for the season and I believe all the seasonal rentals are gone already. I don't know how much of the Inn they are doing this with. If other things like campgrounds are any indication they will likely be fully booked for the summer very soon if not already

I used to leave Ontario Conditions stickers in a lot of places until I ran out. There's a few groomers running around with them on the cab.

If you're looking for fish and chips options.... apparently there is a new one opening in Delawana Resort Honey Harbour this spring Fins Fish & Chips. Apparently this will be their second location with the other in Orillia I believe. Indoor and outdoor patio overlooking the water. Yumm... butter tarts.... doing my Homer Simpson drool... they have to have raisins though

No Mrs H's Fish and Chips is further down the road on the south side. To get there needs a fair bit of road rash. To get to the Long House Grill doesn't have any road rash other than going directly across the road. When available the indoor seating is much greater than Mrs. H's or Bala Falls Pub. If you watch the Barrie CTV news they advertise there.

Do you know if they have pre-registration something like buying lift tickets for a ski hill

Last week while out I made a stop at the Long House Grill. It's on the north side of Muskoka Rd. 38 between the 400 and Bala. I have seen it advertised on Barrie News and promoting fish & chips. Heading north C trail comes out of the power lines and runsalong side Rd. 38 heading east for a short distance and then back into the trees. Just before you get to 38 there is a new sign and a small trail that takes you west a short distance and comes out at 38 directly across from The Long House Grill and Liquidation Nation. They have a teepee out front. They have even groomed from the shoulder of the road into their parking lot. I had a $12 burger and fries that were quite good. It was worth the stop. I'll be going back when dine in is available to try the fish & chips. It's nice to have a new option in the area. Especially one that doesn't require road rash other than crossing the road.

The number of people allowed at an outdoor gathering is restricted

I've never had studs and never needed them anywhere I've ridden. Sure they give you a bit more get up and go but I don't need it.

This is an outdoor pump at a marina where the only ones using it are snowmobilers I believe. I don't think I've seen any out riding with rubber gloves and sanitizer so far. I use a latex glove when filling my truck No you cough and then touch what you coughed all over or sneeze or even the moisture from breathing gets on the nozzle. The new strains are much more infectious with minimal exposure necessary.
