ToSlow Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Here's a link to all my pictures from the April 4-7 OC ride and gathering... Enjoy...... http://s1048.photobu...hiedel/library/ see that truck off the road, i was three cars behind a tow truck going south when that thing was skidding up the road towards me. the guys from that snow mobile magazine was in front of me and a tow truck in front of them. i was waiting for the trailer to hook and come across the road and take us all out. when that truck stopped skidding i was right beside the cab. the driver wasn't long jumping out there was another truck off the road a few miles south of that one.

Canuck Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 You were lucky .... Lucky. It was tough leaving fresh snow behind on a snowmobile trip; tougher still to drive through a localized storm on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Great pics. So that is what happened with that truck. When we went by, it was backed into a small road / driveway on the other side of the road and traffic was just starting to flow again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 was FIL asking too many questions,while you were driving... He was sleeping(you guys wore him out too much)..Anyways, just after those truck pics, we came to the bridge( i am thinking Englehart) not %100 sure which town it's in..But anyways transport came at us over the bridge, trailer was a little TOO close to the guard rail along side of bridge, and ended up bouncing the trailer off of it, and we had to bail out.. Thank god for some quick manouevring, or we would have been toast. Was the worst drive home from cochrane yet.. Was thinking of you and Bills story when we came upon the truck in the ditch.. See u guys saturday at the show.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanie Mitchell Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I always stay at WESTWAY MOTEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeXMAN Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Westway is a good choice.Clean and close to Timmy"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 It was my first time at North Adventure Inn, after many times at Westway. I actually prefer NAI for the following reasons: 1. Camaraderie - the onsite restaurant provides a space to gather with other sledders. 2. On site restaurant - kinda nice to have breakfast and / or dinner onsite after a long day's ride. 3. Quieter - last time at Westway, we had rooms on the Tim Horton's side. Lots of truck action. It was empty, we asked for interior rooms, but were told that the outside rooms were the only one's with 2 double beds. C'est la vie. BOTH are good places at roughly $100 per room, per night.
