Good News from N Ontario!

For those of you that have not done the Algome Train tour, as in - pack your skidoo on the train in The Soo and get off in Hearst and ride back - or v/s, the train has announced that they will be open through the end of the 14/15 skidoo season.

Not quite sure the reasoning, but the "Snow Train" to the Canyon and back was not running "this year", but at least this train will take you through the Canyon on your way north. Also - the "snow train" appears to be running up to Agawa Canyon this summer tho. (same thing - differ'nt season) 

 

If you have not taken this trip, I would recommend that you try to take a weekend in Algoma this summer, or during fall colours and take the Agawa Canyon tour.

I have a great pic of the Canyon, but apparently it's never been scanned in.

So this is what you get.

I guess you'll hafta go fetch your own great pic!

I suggest that you git while the gitt'n is good!

The clock is likely run ning out on this as since the iron ore mine in Wawa closed up shop in '99, there aint enough need for the tracks to maintain them anymore.

Ox,

You hear anything about Halfway being sold?

I think it was, but have not heard anything about it being open for sledding. 

Let us know what you hear.

Thanks

Scott

Remember that if a trail no longer exists through Chapleau, you would have to ride all the way down to Sudbury and then back East to the Sault Ste. Marie to loop back to your start of the Snow Train Adventure.  Not like the old days.  The Loops will be dead.

Was pending a guy getting his green card clear back last fall.

 

Grapevine told me last night that it was still pending.

 

I haven't talked to Gayle yet this spring.  :blush:
