You used this 10 plus years ago…. Quit sending folks astray!!…. You don’t know crap from shoe shine…. Keep your boots in your own crap!! -
We used to start in the Soo or Searchmont, after doing it a few times, we realized we lost 2 days on that trail on a trip. It is 6-10 hours by trail, unless you are carrying the mail, and not stopping to rest, pics, etc.... It is less than 2.5 hours in the truck to Wawa from the Soo, on good dry rds. It became a no brainer for our group. Also, with the Ontario Govt switching from, the MTO to a for profit company (Ledcor) maintaining the highways up there, It is wise to become a member on FB of the northern ontario traffic alert page, and put the 511 ontario ap/site on your phone, and watch the alerts, and cams like a hawk. They have been closing 17 and 11 down very regularly for issues they never did in the past. Sometimes 17 is closed for days at a time between Wawa and the Soo. This will go on until the weather patterns calms, and or the bigger bays freeze solid, to limit lake effect snows in the region. Ski -

Short cut will save just over half distance of following trail approx 60 percent less distance. Then if he gets moose horn to give him 5 gallons of gas he won't have to go extra 10 kms into town from lodge on same tank of fuel. So that's how he could save almost 30 Kms off trip. ACYA told me about this years ago and me and my dad used short cut serval times over years. It's usually as good as trail and owner of moose horn was in process of cutting a trail off into power line to avoid ploughed road at lodge end. Road was never bad when I used it. -

I give you some great advice I learned when I rode area in past. If you use Sheppard morse road, it isn't ploughed in winter except last few km's near trail on moose horn lodge end. Locals run it all the time. So it be a safe packed trail to use. It shave approx about 18 ish kms off trip. If you call owner at moose horn lodge and tell him you need some gas, he have it for you. Also a great place to stay in area so I wouldn't be afraid to head up and stay there and tell them you need gas. closer then town and with short cut you should be able to make it with minimal gas. It be just be 30kms shorter then going into town I did it this way before and never stopped at half way for gas. cheers.
