Giddy UP Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Ya doonut, this is sounding very organized to me. ........................LOL......just kidding, don't get mad :curse: I agree with Evil.

Doonut Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 As with any "organized event", there comes certain risk to the organizer.That's the reason I carry a 3 million dollar personal liability umbrella insurance policy. It comes with the wisdom of running high performance boat poker runs for over 10 years. Oh, and I own a good shovel and have an intimate knowledge of some good off trail areas where the body will never be found. Well, maybe by some winter hungry wolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4mysled Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I would like to ride with you all, I am not sure where the Wharf is, I know the stagging area just off the hi-way at the park, but have not been in the area for a few years. Can someone provide directions, please. Thanks 4my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It passes right by the warf and becomes 169 north. The Wharf staging area is the first right past Boston Pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Travel Advisory - Gravenhurst If you are male and intending to take a dump at the Tim Hortons in town (or have shy children) be advised that the cubicle walls around the toilet have been torn down for some inexplicable reason. Other facilities should be considered. It is also not too early to begin pre-planning for spring/summer seasonal hiring at this establishment (end of April/May) whereupon it takes a few weeks for the staff to adjust to operational procedures. Anticipate long line ups and snafued orders. -end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowTouringGuy Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 The first error was stopping at a Tim's. :P :P Slomo, carry on a little further up the highway to the Skyway's where they have real coffee and food. You'll be glad you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 The coffee shop in Gravenhurst, right across from Canadian Tire gas bar is great. It may, in fact, be Skyways... I only know it as "the coffee shop across from Canadian Tire". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know it as "the coffee shop across from Canadian Tire". It's a different one, but also preferable to Tim's. Skyway's is on the highway north of town; close to the Muskoka Airport.

slomo Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Well didn't affect me personally, but figured it was good for other people to know. Usually stop at Olivers (or is it Roberts?) across from the Can Tire gas bar, but on the drive up got a sudden vision of a boston cream donut... If I'm up the way of the airport will remember Skyway's but a little off my normal route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Doonut. It used to be called the Burg and Blizzard in the late 70s early 80s. My Dad once ordered a Blizzard and they didn't know what it was so he had to stand over their shoulder and explain how to make very thick Milkshake.

Viper-Rules! Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 How many miles do you intend to ride? What is the ice like in the area? Haven't been up at all, since we have so much snow in the south this year. How far will you be riding before you stop for fuel? Is this located at 100 wharp road that runs to musoka bay just off highway 169? I see that road goes right to the lake? Looking on my gps, but it couldn't find boston pizza in gravenhurst? How fast will this group be riding? Reason I ask I would bring my gf and she would have my dad's snowmobile. She doesn't drive slow, just not wide open all day.

4mysled Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 My truck is down, but I have an appointment for it to see the doctor tomorrow. So hopefully I will be there. I have a friend who is a little short on cash this year, he has a sled but has not ridden all year. I have not told him about the ride, however are we going to cross or ride any OFSC trails. If we are I will not mention anything to him, however if not would anyone mind if he tags along. He loves to ride but really could not swing the cash this year.
