Dan-Senior Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 For sure 02Sled. There are 3 bridges in-a-row to get across the forks in the river and they all look pretty rough. Here's a photo of bridge #2. (Bridge #3 is in the background). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Come on that bridge is more than capable Maybe more than capable but still not that comfortable going across it. Notice the guys that made the video walked it first and made a comment about what's the worst thing that could happen... breaking and going through. Psychological but add a railing / barrier to the side might add a sense of comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If heights arent your thing then yeah stay off. Its a very solid bridge. Walked it checking for loose ties... Not sure if that was me with him that time or not? He always has his Gopro going LOL...

I can handle heights but for some reason I need at least a small barrier between me and the fall. Doesn't need to be much. I stood at the edge of a 300 ft drop into the water in Antigua. There was a knee high wall between you and the fall. I was fine with that and stood taking pictures down over the edge. Take away that tiny wall that wouldn't stop me falling and my comfort zone would have been gone. As long as there is some sense of security like a tie off even. I have always wanted to do the Edge Walk on the CN tower. The harness would be all I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Senior Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 A photo of my driveway and street. Snow has finally arrived in the City Centre of the Sault. For the past month, its only been north of the city in higher elevations off of Lake Superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Senior Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 North of Sault Ste. Marie - For New Years Day From Environment Canada "Isolated snow squalls are expected to develop this afternoon and continue through Friday morning. Under the snow squall bands, visibilities will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow. The snow squalls will be shifting over the areas during the event. Local snowfall accumulations up to 25 cm are possible by Friday evening. Looking forward to more bush riding tomorrow and Saturday with camera in-hand. Hope to get some wildlife photos this time around. This season's visual count: 0 moose, 1 deer, 2 wolves, 0 lynx, 0 Bobcats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 was snowing on and off, from soo to wawa last night, on the way up 17 Dan. the snow belt areas are set up funny this year, lots of snow in some areas, a couple of kms later, thin to no snow. we did see a wolf sitting over a road kill moose, and two live moose on the way up last night though. Love your pics, vids, and updates. maybe we will get out in dub this weekend, and I can return the favor. be safe, have fun... remember... BUMPS ARE STUMPS, (ROCKS, SHED ANTLERS) ect...

Dan-Senior Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Blake G and Extreme600, Conditions are borderline rideable in the Sault Ste. Marie region. Not much snow here either. Hopefully everyone across Ontario gets more soon. Logging roads are the saviour for now. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-Senior Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 We are trailering to Aubrey Falls / Black Creek Outfitters in the morning and sledding the Kindiogami. Rumour has it that the 1st sled made it through from Elliot Lake to Black Creek today. Will provide a report upon our return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliotgroomer Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 The F trail north was packe with a drag north for 25 kms. and with the soucy trac with no drag the rest of the way to hwy546. it took 4 guys 5 hrs to cut the trees from Flack lake to Hwy546. 3 guys cutting and 1 moving just enough to get the quads by the trees It took 8 hrs for the groomer to push the trees off the trail. The section from the boland river logging road to the hwy crossing on 639 by Laurentian lodge was not done too much running water in this section. It' not going to be a nice ride from hwy. 546 to the logging road north of Ompa lake. At least the trees are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
