Black Creek Outfitters - Updates Our first visit of the season to Black Creek Outfitters on highway 129, 1 hour north of Thessalon today. We cleared trees and brush along the D201F and broke trail from Aubrey Falls Trading Post to just south of the former Johnny's TruckStop. From that point north, local fisherman have cleared the trail right up to Seabrook Lake. We went to Seabrook Lake and back, then stopped in at Black Creek Outfitters for an enjoyable lunch.

Another Day....Another Ride One of my Bush-Crawling buddies messaged me last night. Said he was heading out this morning into the remote highlands north of the Sault with truck and sled in-tow. He's good at sniffing snow locations as he knows the back-country very well. I suspect he will do ok today....I await his report.

Some Algoma Bush Crawling yesterday with the early-season beater sled. Snow is getting thin. The party is over for now!

Updates Northern Ontario is not immune to the meltdown. My write-up of our Friday outing north of Sault Ste. Marie. Rain and mild weather.

I was at Canadian Tire Gasbar in the Sault today. The price spread was .22 cents from 87 to 91. The premium has no ethanol at that particular station. The price spread at Shell was 35 cents. Quite a contrast.

Ski / Ox, We just need to get over this hurdle to preserve what's still left up there. Dan

Searchmont Today The rain turned into a downpour. That sled trailer in front of us was looking for snow as well.

A photo I snapped this afternoon while up along the ACR railway. In case you are wondering, the Inspection Service Car just went by, so, they are monitoring the tracks. There is no train haulage this winter (as of current)
