Kapuskasing and Hearst

Many people up there?   I wondered if it might be pretty quiet just because of the amount of green trails in Southern Ontario?    I normally would have been to Quebec or N Ontario at least 2x by now in a normal/low snow year.

Sleds loaded and ready to go.   My dad and I are heading up to Cochrane on Wed.    Ride around Cochrane and do the  Canyon and then head over to Hearst and maybe get away from some of the traffic that is in Cochrane on the weekends.   

 

We were going to head to Quebec but the restaurants still being take out only kind of turned me off riding there.   I havent been to Cochrane in 3 years so its probably time to give it another run.

Revrnd and I will be riding in the area for several days, starting next Saturday...staging from Kap for 5 days, but spending Saturday night at the Companion in Hearst.  Keep an eye out for a couple of almost identical Blizzards, and if you see us, stop and say hi.

This pic came up on my FB memories from 3 years ago today.     I really liked that sled.    I wish Polaris made it today.

Basecamp is saying the entire loop is closed to the canyon for Wednesday, on the book of feces. ;) plan accordingly. guessing they wont be there to fuel you up, if you decide to ignore the warning, and closure. your results may vary. Ski

Give the guys there a break. Its out of their control as to why the loop needs to be closed Wednesday.  Read this. I agree with them it should be closed for Wednesday.

wasnt knocking, or mocking them, was more of a public service announcement, to help those plan for their ride around the closure. trying to keep everyone safe, and having good rides, & good memories. but, I see your point, I could have worded it a bit different.

Essentially OPG is working on the damn crossing. Really don't need sledders to deal with during that work on Wednesday.  Its 1 day...

Exactly... just be happy they allow crossing the dam the rest of the year and say thank you.

One of my co-workers was up there w/ a gang playing in the canyon. I guess 1 of them misjudged the top of the hill & went over the top & collided w/ a tree on the downhill. Somehow they were able to recover the sled & tow it out to the road.

 

The rider was OK, but no way could the sled be steered back to Cochrane. I guess some OPG guys came along & saw their predicament. They were told if they could get the sled over to a building, they could possibly help. Turns out they were able to straighten out the front end enough that he COULD ride it back.
