Not sure why you'd go out on a weekend without every thing in order. Almost guaranteed to be checked.   https://www.barrietoday.com/police-beat/opp-hands-out-dozens-of-charges-during-weekend-snowmobile-patrols-11758493

I spoke with the Front Desk at Studio 6 and was warned that coming in on a Monday there was no food or grocery store open that day.  This was before the restaurant closing was announced.  They said that they were able to work with some local caterers to have food available for us in our room.  Hopefully the trails open from Hearst and we will be able to try it out.  If not that's a real problem for touring sledders

Until I just saw the new Elliot Lake post, I had missed the fact that the F trail was closed from EL to Dunlop Lake. For a trip from Sudbury to EL, you can still use the F trail to EL1, by-passing EL to get to Dunlop Lake. If you wish to do that and carry on to Black Creek, you will have to gas up in Spanish (and make sure that gas will be available at Black Creek). This may affect accommodations at Dunlop Lake, as in more touring riders wanting to stay there, as opposed to Elliot Lake hotels. 

I didnt realize it had sold.  Thanks for sharing.   Appreciate the trail update. Too bad the area lost that route. Was there a few years ago and was impressed how the trail network circled the town with easy access. MS
