Viperules700 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Doing Rap end of month and leaving from Madoc. Have done it befor but will go across Redstone and the connecting lakes. Will stay at blue spruce first night. Where is available Gas past Haliburton and is there gas close to bluespruce. Thanks There is fuel at Whitney on top b at the far east side of the park. Bad idea. If you plan on using trail 11 to get up to eagle, moose and redstone. It will be another 4 weeks before the club can open this trail, weather permitting. It is always the last trail to open in the county. There is barely any snow around the whole park at the moment. Hard to say if it will be doable by then or not. I would have a plan b for sure.

revrnd Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Jerry, I gassed up 2 winters ago @ a gas station that is trail accessible on Hwy 60. It's on the north end of Oxtongue Lake across from the Blue Spruce. My GPS file also shows gas @ the Oxtongue General Store (also nearby). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 There's an old post from Evil about doing the RAP in consecutive years, and 'what a difference a year makes'. The first time, they were blessed with snow. The second time, no snow. Made for a brutal trip, as I recall. Take the advice above - Plan B in case there's no snow.

Canadoo Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Usually takes 3 weeks from freeze up to stake the lakes along trail 11 to Tall Pines (msr) system off kennisis. Afaik they are not tight yet... But the most snow right now is arou d the park. I could show you some great shortcuts from kennisis up to oxtongue but Id have to kill you! X2 on gas right on 60 on the trail. XTR brand station. There is also gas at kennisis, the haliburton forest, and at the marines on the west end of kawagama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
