blown corner Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 What should I be feeling? Pack em up or hold out till next weekend or after that? I haven't heard any news but in south river area. I know the rain hurt. But enough as to that I should turn off my snowmobiling switch in the brain for the year? The weather is turning around. Have clubs thrown in the towel and if so which ones? Thanks for any input on any location you may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I saw that Highland Rovers is trying to open some trails for this weekend in the Kearney area. If they do we will likely head out Sunday for a little ride, or towards Tall Pines trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the timing is NOT on our side. Looks like we are packing it in until 2018. Keep watching the posts on here or Facebook. Nunz is a great guy that will keep you informed with a good, honest report.

-crz- Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 We have snow and cold weather now, but still a lot of washouts, flooded swamps etc. Most local clubs are working to get some trails open on a limited basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 It's surprising how much difference a day can make. Honey Harbour yesterday. Honey Harbour today with new ice in an area with a good current.... and here I was thinking it was time to start a thread on who will have the first boat in the water. The season may still recover in some areas. One real good dumping of lake effect snow may make the difference for some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Many hundreds of kilometres of excellent trails are much closer at hand than Kap. For a while, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micar Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 21 trucks and trailers parked at the Tourist Info Centre in Emsdale, just north of the Seguin, trails I could see from 11 and old HWY 11 looked decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Great ride out of Cobden today. 200k, about 3 bare spots, one re-route to avoid a swollen river, and maybe 1k of washboard, sprinkled throughout the day, just to remind us how PERFECT the vast majority of the trails were. It was like mid-winter, without the crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll probably be with a rather large ex-army type guy and a littler 18 month old army type guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I will! Tell her to wear a tall hat, or maybe a red striped sweater. I always try to stop In Cobden on my way through. Pretty park, and I remember it as the turning point off the TCH en-route to Golden Lake, site of our summer vacations as a kid, and a long running tryst back in the 80's... Good times.
