Did I read somewhere that the gas season for the Abitibi Canyon will end some time this week?

EDIT: Gas sales might be ending this Sunday....

I found a thread on Facebook. Nunz mentioned that he was told gas might end this coming Sunday.

That came right from the guys at Basecamp.

All 3 of our sleds carry spare gas, so we will check before we leave but also make sure our spare ones are full.

I have to go to Timmins one day this weekend ... when do you get to Cochrane ?  I've been toying with the idea of bringing the sled with me and riding somewhere along the trip home ....

We will be driving up through the night and arriving around 9 AM Sunday.  probably crashing for a few hours and then unloading and getting ready for riding Monday.

Looks like I'm not going to bring a sled to Timmins. There and back, Saturday likely. Sunday is a nicer looking day to fiddle around outside, maybe fetch some firewood.

Hitting the road shortly for the long haul to Cochrane. Going to be good!... just to double check,, gas will no longer be available at the canyon after Sunday?

I think the jury is still out on that. Might want to contact the base.

I called them earlier this week and they said they are planning on staying open till the trail is closed. They were thinking until 7APR. But things change this time of year so call ahead of time.

Polar Bear Riders just announced on Facebook that the Base Camp is out of fuel until Monday.
