Gowganda Lake Camp Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 How's A107C from Gowganda to TOP C (south of Shining Tree)? Very Good.... We had one spot of moving water across the trail that was being tough because of the warmups. Filled with a little more greenerie last night and pulled a ton of snow over. Today so far all sledders said it is set up and no more water. Looks like I may have to groom again after tomorrow with the snow that is coming down right now.

Gowganda Lake Camp Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 All area trails in great shape and freshly groomed. I will probably groom the A107C to C trail near shining tree again tonight or Friday night depending on the amount of snow we get today. A trail : Excellent (groomed tuesday night) C106A : Excellent ( groomed wed night) L136 : Good - Excellent ( Groomed Wed Night) A107c : elk Lake gowganda / gowganda to C trail : Excellent ( will be groomed tonight or Friday night) Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowganda Lake Camp Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 My information is two days old , but we had 2 couples here that came from timmins down the C and they said all of the trails were really good. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "think" it is just north of TataChikaPika but maybe it is just south. I recall that the trail to the look out used to get groomed from time to time and it was not very far off the main trail but a steep incline once one made the corner. Do you know where it is? Is it named? Will I ever find it again if I go that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowganda Lake Camp Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 I guess I better find that look out..... I was stranded for my first time Sat 3:30 am with the groomer.. The rear left rim broke about 2 hours away on my way back home. The tractor is still sitting on the trail awaiting parts. Hope it comes in soon with all the snow flying around outside.. At least all but the return trip small section had already been groomed. glad the Sat phone decided to connect after about 5 tries... Ok now i have to find a lookout.....

Hey, Ron -- sorry to hear about the mishap. Hope you're able to get it up and running again soon. We're also interested in where the lookout STG asked about is located, as we'll be at Tata-Chika-Pika next Saturday night. Any information much appreciated, thanks.

How long do you think your groomer will be down?Heading your way on Friday. Don't worry... The guys from shining tree are going to help us out on this end and groom the A107C from shining tree to Gowganda. Our other tractor can handle the rest for now. Doesn't look like the parts will be in for the tractor I use until thursday .. I split the track and took off the old rim and tire today so as soon as we get the new rim it's just the matter of putting it back together. All trails should be in really nice shape before the weekend. We have lots of snow now to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowganda Lake Camp Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 ... The tractor I use is still out of commission ( rim supposed to be in tomorrow) .. All trails are groomed with the exception of a few small sections. A107C East and West of Gowganda - Groomed and good condition A trail groomed and good condition L136 groomed both ends and in good condition C106A groomed and in good condition We have lots of snow and trails are in great shape there are a few km's of connectors that are flat with snow on them waiting for the rim to come in tomorrow to be groomed. Both plowed sections of A107C east and west of gowganda have lots of snow on them ... Just take it easy and watch for other vehicles Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowganda Lake Camp Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 The rim finally came in. Picked up tire Late friday and with the help of my neighbor and a few guys up from the south sleddin we got everything back together sat. Groomed A107C between Gowganda and Stumpy lake last night and a connector trail to get to the L136 from Gowganda avoiding road riding ( The sun has pretty much wiped out the ice pack on the road). Now with two tractors going we can get back to normal ... Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTMDave Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It's about 18 K south of Tata-Chika-Pika . It worth the stop. About 2-3 K off C. If you are coming from the north stop at Tata-Chika-Pika and ask he can give you the exact milage. We were just there last Thursday. Great trails except for about 20K section north of Tata-Chika-Pika. Unable to get the grommer up the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hey, Ron -- we got to Gowganda from Liskeard (via Matachewan) Friday late afternoon, and as promised, I stopped in to see you...unfortunately, you had left an hour earlier to go pick up the parts you needed, so I missed you, but I did have a nice chat with Giselle, and she took my pic, just to prove I had actually been there. When we headed west from Auld Reekie for Shining Tree and Gogama Saturday morning, we expected to see you on the trail doing your repairs to the groomer, but no one was around when we went by around 9:45...guess you hadn't gotten there yet. Nice grooming job on the local trails, Ron...L136 was one of the nicest trail sections we rode on our entire 6-day trip in the north (except for the tight, rough ungroomed 2 km section in the middle). A107C was also excellent...thanks for all your efforts. We'll defintely see you next time we come up that way. irREVerent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we got out there just after 10 am . Happy to hear you guys had a good ride. We have some plans in the works to hopefully be able to fix the center section of the 136 for next season. With the extra snow I was able to groom in a little further last night . Thanks for stopping See ya next time Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
