Always stop there for lunch when heading to Timmins from NL. Really good to know for the trip in a few weeks. Thanks for posting.

First, restart the device. Second, remove and reload the app on the device. Works 99%. It just renewed itself on my android yesterday. Works 4 me.

The Owen Sound Police Service (OSPS) has suspended the driver’s licences of two snowmobilers. The OSPS said that officers conducted a sobriety test at the Ontario of Federation Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) trail in the area of the Bayshore Community Centre. According to police, both snowmobilers blew above the acceptable level of alcohol consumption. As a result, both individuals received three-day suspensions of their driver’s licences. The riders needed to make third-party arrangements to remove both their sleds and vehicles. https://blackburnnews.com/midwestern-ontario/midwestern-ontario-news/2022/01/22/licences-suspended-two-snowmobilers/

Worked for me. Perhaps a Border restriction. Here is the jist Jan. 31 Social gatherings will be increased to 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors. Sporting events, concert venues and theatres will be able to operate at 50 per cent seated capacity or 500 people, whichever is less. Restaurants, bars and other food or drink establishments without dance facilities will be able to operate with 50 per cent capacity indoors. Retailers, including grocery stores and pharmacies, as well as shopping malls, can operate with 50 per cent capacity indoors. Non-spectator areas of sports and recreational fitness facilities, including gyms, can operate with 50 per cent capacity indoors.

What an awesome way to surprise him. (I lived in Stirling (Tanner Dr) when I was posted at Trenton 89-93. What a great little town, we both miss it.)

The add on KIjji lists it as a 2020...even better.

Mine appears to have been built on 10 Nov, yet didn't make it to the dealer until the end of December. I do find that a long time from Assy to delivery, and a dealer only a few hours away from the plant.

Mine is a V nose trailer, with a clamshell. The tongue channel slides into the U channel on the trailer and bolted in 2 places. All worth a check this spring.

Mine will haul a REN X and a Mach, so yes, $47 CDN taxes in.

I have a similar Triton trailer. Last spring when I replaced the hubs and was looking underneath, I noticed corrosion around both bolts that attach the tongue to the trailer and made a note to look at pulling them out this spring, and cleaning the area. The bolt inspection has moved to the top of my trailer maintenance list, since my trailer is a 2004.

Ox, Toronto is a big city. Multiple storms within days made the side streets impassable for emergency vehicles. Mel called in the Army and APCs' to get fire trucks and ambulances down some of the side streets for emergencies. If I remember, sometimes they had to pull the fire trucks down the street to make a call. Yes. people in Canada all laugh at Toronto and Mel for it. Same way you guys call in the National Guard for disasters. It was in effect a disaster for the safety of the city.

Doesn't have the closed for season marker, and last update on that trail was 14 January. Looks like some very tuff terrain to open? Which hotel, I'm thinking of using the Quality and interested to hear about travelling the main drag to get to it or the Super 8. (As I'm in Ottawa, it is only a160Km drive, so I may pop up there as soon as my buddies Mach is picked up next week.)

Ottawa may be your next destination then. And forecast another 10cm on Wednesday.

Nope. The first storm arrived on Jan. 2, 1999 and dropped almost 38 centimetres of snow, causing commuter chaos in the city's downtown core. By Jan. 4, Lastman had declared a "snow emergency" and banned parking on certain snow routes. Over the next week it continued to snow, with another 21 centimetres falling on Jan. 12.

Did it ever open again after it burned? Or it did and then closed again. Two years ago, I don't remember it being open?

My riding buddy hedged between a Mach and a XCR. The Mach has arrived, so all the Polaris stuff is for sale (NIB) For a listing, please look at the spreadsheet. Location is Ottawa (Orleans) and local pick-up is preferred. You need to reach out to him at the email, and discuss your interest. guydoiron@hotmail.com

Fake news: Not opening this year, they are logging on it. So, everyone else stay off and leave it for me. One of my favorite trails up there. I regret that it took me 10 years (10 years ago) to find it.

I would try Esso- MACPHERSONS GENERAL STORE 5411 HIGHWAY 11, SWASTIKA,ON P0K 1T0 We use it s a gas stop between New Liskeard and heading to Cochrane. Right on the highway. Local trail (L114) comes off of the A right to the station. Give them a call. I think for a day ride you have a good chance, as the lot is pretty big. Fueling up there may help you out. (ITG had it as a food stop, now not showing as food (sandwiches in a fridge) or fuel

Draft..likely about .50c a glass back then.. ..lots of it...I think I rode back to the cottage in the back of a pickup truck.. I sure wasn't standing, luckily for me.

Agree. Lost this season, or in the past? A D1 trail, and where if you don't mind saying? thanks.

Price has increased to $500K from the $359K. I have a foggy memory of being in that place one Saturday night, circa 1977. Place was packed.

I sent a note to the OFSC on what may be a related issue. A gas stop at the end of the L114 , off the A trail just NW of Kirkland lake was showing up as a food stop, but not as a fuel stop. Food is sandwiches in a fridge, fuel there save going into KL. Tonight it doesnt show up as either, on Chrome and a PC. Maybe they are correcting some of these, and either in mid-correction; or, made it worse.

I'm not seeing how that rail mounted, on top of the reflector trim? Unless you trim the trim? (My 2013 Vector LTX - same chasssis doesn't have much of a gap there?) (Just curious, as the Vector has gone to my Nephew for his son this year.)

@Ox Correct wind chill has no affect on inanimate objects, except for how fast they get the heat removed from them. We saw that in the jet engine test cells, the temp at the bell mouth probe is the outside air temp, no matter how fast or volume of air that engine was sucking in. Also, the block heater has been well covered by several posts already. I had one on my Apex, (999cc) worked great. My buddy and his 1049cc Vector (2010) the ECU seemed confused by the different air and water temps, and was a bit difficult to start. At Cochrane -38c, 80% of all of the 4S and 2S sleds in the Westway parking lot didn't start. Mine, even with the Boost pack (pictures already posted somewhere here), I had to get the hair dryer blowing into the breather box (opening panels at -38c on the Yams not that easy). But all of that aside, the biggest reason I install a block heater is that the wear on a motor occurs at cold start-up, so if I can keep the motor a bit warm at any temp below about -25c, I will, I also carry the Boost pack. I accept that with Syn oils these days, not as much a factor as the mineral oil days. But hey, if I didn't carry a GPS, Ear buds, boost pack, battery charger, extension cord, heated jacket and gloves, I would have to change my name from Gadgetman.

Carry some MREs. Just need some water for the heater. They will be this years back-up lunch, if all else falls through.
