whits-end Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Good man, that Rob Rickward. And he's been a great supporter and club executive member for both Almaguin District S.C. and Highland Rovers for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 On a per capita basis, Kearney has a tremendous number of dedicated snowmobilers and supporters of snowmobiling. It is almost bizarre to spend a few days in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandos_rob Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Just watched Justin's Chopped Canada episode, you did great with those tough ingredients, congrats on making to the final round. You should have won, and I know not everything as it seems on TV, but even if the winner is even half as smug and annoying as they portray him, I think people would think twice about visiting his restaurant. Whereas after seeing the way you cooked and your personality people will search out your restaurant. You should have "Chopped Canada Finalist" on some of your ad's, lots of us foodies out there that will go out of way to check out great food. Looking forward to visiting again. cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is one AWESOME chef too .....so are Martin and Kelly I might add...their baked goodies are to DIE FOR! (**drooling**) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giddy UP Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Welcome aboard. Finally got to drop by your place Tuesday and Wednesday. Great food! Where were you staying Dave? And why didn't you tell me you were gonna be in my neck of the woods??!!!! Next trime - let me know if you are coming Kearney way - would love to meet at the Skillet for some great food and then perhaps ride some awesome trails too!

snowchopper Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 There is a "back trail" that runs from Rickward's Polaris down to Fetterley's Garage (F.G.) and the Iron Skillet (I.S.). I drew the trail in green because it does not appear on the Interactive Trail Guide, even though it is groomed trail. The quickest way to get to the gas station or restaurant from D is to run up the street if there is some snow cover. It's a few hundred metres. Some local Kearney sledders such as snowchopper or Baylaker can correct any mistakes I have made here. kearney2.jpg From Rickwards to Fetterleys garage and through town you are on the Highland Rovers trail # 97.This is the "back trail" that is being referred to. From Rickwards going across the front of the sled store you are now on the Almaguin Snowmobile trail # 302.Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interactive trail guide shows 97 running down the road (Highway 518) between Rickward's and Fetterley's, but 97 actually runs parallel to the road, a couple of hundred metres or so to the west.

Viperules700 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I found the skillet too after running around town and asked the lady at the gas station where it was. I was looking for 302 trail not 97, so it is abit confusing. Martin said he had more signs but someone stole them. They really need a sign before the gas station pointing to the 302 trail. Lots of people just turn around there and go back to D after getting gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Enjoyed this one as well. "How to pick up donuts" lol Some towns actually need this type of 'play by play' to get around. Hope that the Iron Skillet signs 'stay up' and business continues to be strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We have the same issue with restaraunt signs being taken we wonder if the competitors do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyD Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I bet they do, wouldn't surprise me if the main competitor is taking the skillet signs down, same thing is happening to Silversands , signs gone and people are being told they are closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Happened up north in Elliot Lake when a family opened a resort in winter (Dunlop Lake Lodge). Folks will come to town because there's more options, not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people just turn around there and go back to D after getting gas. Too hopefully end some confusion when coming up the D or 101b from the south you come to an intersection at rain lake road. There is an old church that sits kitty corner to the trail. The 97 trail starts there and continues through town, across the bridge,through the community center parking lot and to the right of Fetterleys Garage. You actually enter the back yard of Fetterleys Garage . In the back yard of Fetterleys Garage you will see a trail going to your left. This will take you right into the Iron Skillets parking lot.If you continue on and stay to the right (don't take the trail to the Skillet) you continue on the trail to Bevans road which you cross and then enter the parking lot of Rickwards KwikMart Store and Algonquin Outfitters store. If you continue across the front of Rickwards Polaris (blue building)you are now on the Almaguin District Club trail #302. There is a sign on the hydro pole indicating this. Hope this helps.......

Viperules700 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I didn't realize they own all three places either. It is just nasty and will come back to haunt them. No wonder signs are going missing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
