But truthfully, TD could have shared some more pic's, details on the new ride, etc......

I suppose you can give them the benefit of the doubt and they truly are not aware of the operations of a club, but I cannot believe you would embark on what they have not understanding the hands that feeds you first.......it's not like if you build it, they will come....there is small thing called a trail that needs to be overcome and all that goes along with it. Here is hoping they understand the big picture soon and adjust their approach accordingly.......however, I get the feeling there will always be a certain air about them that will turn people away.

Posted in the "what did you today" thread.

I decided to skim through the story as well - it really does paint a very bad picture of Base Camp, but it seems they are oblivious to it sadly. The more troubling part are the sledders that seem to support there cause in all of this I see @Blake G was trying to add some common sense to the f/plant thread .....as well some others of course. After doing some reading, I am afraid with the current players involved, I cannot see this going in a positive direction.

Well, it just speaks to various types of people out there, good and not do good.

Can’t argue with that. The context of the pint was to settle the atmosphere, have a few laughs while they settle things and close the gaps, but based on the above and the volume of the situation, clearly not a great idea nor does it sound like it will happen. Can’t say I follow or read the social media either surrounding this, but it sure doesn’t appear to be good.

Lol, isn’t that what it was created for, and for people to feel “liked” or recognized.

The backlog grows weekly - there will be a huge gap to fill that will take a while.

All the more reason all parties need to get together and go for a pint to discuss, even if just the one club meets with the camp….. ideally both of course. Not saying the club needs to initiate, but maybe someone needs to take the lead for the good of the area and the sport. Or perhaps the end is inevitable, and such ids life.

Interesting - I was wondering if it extended that far, when you look at the trail map there is a decent sized area with no OFSC trails. I knew HF owned a big chunk - I think there was actually a post here about the region they owned, history, etc.....

Yes, OFSC trail passes through from K to little Red, but I doubt there was a sled clocked at 120KM on that section based on what I recall that trail was like.....likely down the main road out of base camp. And 120km may sound like a lot, but a sled gets up to that in the blink of an eye that we all know the vast majority of usually are not that far off that mark on a straight section of trail.

Well we all know, or should know.....90% of the info reported my media is incorrect. How many time have you either been at an event or have direct inside knowledge of an event to hear the media report something that makes you shake your head and wonder where they were that they saw this....

Personally do not know the official answer, but I would imagine as an out of province person, the police may give you some slack on this, but let you know while in the province, you are to follow all rules & regulations while visiting....do it a again and ticket will be in hand.

Well, they were correct on my 1+1 seat.....but I figured with the shortage of these chips across so many different products worldwide, I do not think anyone really has any concrete answers. Would be great to get sooner, but I am not expecting it before the 2022/23 year, and would be surprised even at that point.....but the 2023 models better not get theirs before my 2022 does ..... lol

"Show me your papers" - we just went back in time many, many years......very sad state we are in for sure.

I have always been told paid - but could be an interesting argument. Maybe if the OFSC starts to pay for OPP enforcement, we would get a better service......

Yes, private. I have only ever seen them on the main trail - but they could be anywhere as they are paid by HF to be there. HF started hiring them to curve the accidents and recklessness of people - used be a guy dressed in a Orange snow suit that patrolled it (pumpkin).

No, curfew affects all people within the province - you can be out as long as you have your papers to support your reasoning for being out i.e. work. Causing me some grief on work right now I am getting done - people even in the province, do not understand this.

I know for sure Odot1 was asked this on other forums - I do not recall the answer, but, assumption would be trail on sanctioned road falls under HTA......hence why kids with sled license are not suppose to ride sled on trail that crosses road or runs on road.

The HTA also does not apply to trails, which is why the fine for speeding is a flat rate fine vs. the fine you would receive if speeding on a road. HTA rules are extremely loose in parking lots - why they say it is the worst place to have an accident. Also why police cannot enforce using phone in this environment while driving, etc....

FYI....QC is expected to remove curfew this Monday.

I picked up my lock today as well....and the 1+1 seat too!!

Told 2023, but honestly is just a stab in the dark right now.

Thanks - and I just saw some feedback from thinksno on DT. He mentioned a few quirks about it on his ride in QC, like when you go off the planned route to get gas, it warns you of being off your route, annoying I guess.

I did a search to see if this has been posted about other than mentioned in the odd thread, found nothing, so thought I would start one. Anyone have any reports, feedback, etc....on this one? I have recently seen two members ref it on QC trips, @Steve F6 here & @Thinksno on dootalk I think. I just downloaded it, created an account and plotted the QC trip we are doing in a couple of weeks that are all saved just waiting to be used for each day. Looks pretty decent to me looking at the phone vs. real world use.
