My neighbour’s 600etec doesn’t like the trails up here. It decided to shut down on the L159, so we towed it out to Val Côté. OF7 met us at the side of the road with his truck and trailer, and we brought the sled back to Hearst.

The OC members are missing you guys, zrtkat, skidoo boy, and all our neighbours to the south. We look forward to seeing you guys next season. 

Thanks Re:Leaf I  still enjoy reading the post and seeing the pictures of the trails and the stories that go along with them until next winter may things be different and we can enjoy snowmobiling in Ontario again.

Looking for some other photos and thought the younger members might find these interesting.

 

Did the Tour of the Line trip from the Soo (March 30/31, 2003). Waiting @ Hearst for the train to depart

May be an image of train and railroad

Train would back up west past the 'Y' & then proceed to the Soo. On the trip back saw a couple of sleds on the trail near Hawk Jct.

 

In 2006 we did the Tracks to Trails trip

Loading in the Soo

Parking in the garage (my buddy's SRX)

Opaz cluhouse. Not sure if there is anything in place to indicate the building was beside the trail or not.

Bambino's/Mooseland I don't recall it looking that good when I was in to pay for fuel prior to '06. It was pretty sketchy in the restaurant part.

Great pics Rev! I see one of that green clubhouse we were discussing a few days ago. Completely agree about Bambino's. Pay for the fuel and get gone. LOL

Looking @ the 2003 Blastoff pics & the Opaz clubhouse was a bit different. The '98 FZ is still on the go. My buddy's son was riding it last Sat' when I met them. Still looks great.

Too bad it's gone. The day we stopped there in '06, brother & I had quite a conversation w/ the girl running the canteen about trapping.

 

A father (trucker) & son eating lunch during the 1 stop we were there. YIKES! I've been in some 'rustic' hunting camps & they were nothing like it.

 

Reminded me of a place a co-worker & I stopped @ for fuel on I-79 between Pittsburgh & Erie PA back in the 90s. It was a 'truck stop' that was more or less a muddy lot w/ a chipboard shack for an office.

I remember our 1st ride down it years ago. Couldn't believe that stretch even after riding up there for a few years up to then.

Like they say, "Be careful what you wish for".

 

Was it worse than hordes of atom hockey players playing mini-sticks in the hallway? LOL

Can anyone tell me where I could unload and leave the truck at tomorrow in the Mattice or Hearst area.  Looking for a staging spot for the day where rigs are allowed.
