Check out cerka.ca. They are in Milton. Large outfit. I bought a custom length axle with hubs(no brakes) for my back-up open sled trailer for around $130. Built in-house. Best prices around. Much cheaper than Princess Auto. They also sell brake kits.

Hmm, weren't those sleds for sale recently?

225km today. Started at Buckhorn parking lot 1 on hwy 507. Ran E108, E, E110 to Cardiff. 612, Baptiste Lake,181, 179, E109 , E to Harcourt. 605, 606, 607 to Gooderham. 509, E108 back to lot. Trails 8/10 or better except 509. It's beat. A bit rough around Gooderham but trails just opened recently so to be expected. Also the road running around Wilberforce and Gooderham have maybe one more day left in them. Sun and no snowfall are killing them.

The good thing about the Pigeon/Buckhorn/Chemong lake system is the average depth is probably around 10 feet and they only let 2-3 feet out. The deep areas in the main bodies are approx 20' except up near the top of Pigeon towards the Bald Lakes. The area where the hole is, I would think is about 6-8 feet deep, if that. Doubt it would ever be as nasty as the "Magpie" nightmare scene you described..lol..

If you're crossing the bridge in Buckhorn, take a look to the west. The water level in Upper Buckhorn(same water level as Pigeon) is down at least a couple of feet from the fall level.

Methinks that the ice formed and then they dropped the water level in the Trent system before it had a chance to thicken up, hence the gap between the water and ice. Guess the rest of the lake had a better chance to build thicker ice than that spot.

Ice doesn't look too thick there. Thanks for heads up

Worst case scenario, you could ditch-bang to Bailieboro. I have done it in the past and it wasn't horrible.

I believe it used to be (years ago) that when you clicked on a trail on the ITG it showed when the last update was done. Maybe we can get back to that. Would avoid speculation.

Little 60km loop in the Ganny forest. Haven't been in there in years. Testing some recent repairs. Trails were great in the middle but a bit rough in the east and west end. Think they groom from the center out. Also did the 403/ WF9 loop by the ski resort. Good snow on trails. Roads are getting thin.

FYI, I have seen many trailers parked on the side of Technology Drive when the parking lot is full.

Hey Yam Fan. I parked there a couple of weeks ago. Parked there a few times last winter too. It's never been locked. I believe it's also a parking area for the walkers/hikers as well. Wasn't always plowed last year but was this year. I can check it out late tmo night(2230) on the way home from work if you would like me to.

Saw 2 moose together on the E107 about halfway between the E trail and Apsley on Thursday afternoon around 4. They were north of where the E107 stays on the east side of Hwy 28 and were east of the trail up on a ridge/hill.

Is there still parking at the community centre on McFadden in Apsley? Is there enough snow on the 747 to get to the E107? Thanks for any info

Owner found

Found on trail 430 a few kms east of Kinmount this afternoon. The OPP were loading up their sleds beside us at the parking lot(north of Buckhorn) and I gave them the phone. It is at the Peterborough OPP station.

Just my observation. The past 10+ years or so, it seems all the seasons seem to be starting about a month late. Still have spotty areas of white in the Lakefield area.

Bought my used 2017 Mission 12' trailer this spring from them as well. Best price around. Worth the drive for me. Seemed like a good guy. FWIW, he did say the Mission is a better built trailer than the Lightening/Avalanche ones.

Picked up a 2 year old 8x12’ Mission trailer at the end of the season. Towed well empty but much more wind drag than my old 8x10’ clam shell Triton. I like this modification the previous owner made to prevent the skis hitting the door frame.
