About the NAI, there have been a couple of positive reviews this season on the 705 page. New owners/management.

You are limited, both vehicle and load to a maximum of 2.6m or 8.5ft.  Length of veh can't exceed 12.5m or 41ft. 

Hope this answers your question

 

 

Thanks. I just about clipped a guy a year or so ago. It was getting near dusk & his left wheels were on the yellow line. I didn't realise he had a deck (no sleds loaded) on it since there was no clearance light @ the left front corner of it. I did shift over to the shoulder to avoid hitting my mirror.

Good to see you getting out! bad bad year for central ontario/Muskoka. I haven't even put my sled on the trailer yet, couldn't be bothered to do the rail line in hali or drive all the way to bancroft with how busy it would have been. Next weekend.. 

I'm just glad it's only 20 minutes or so to the Coe Hill lot. Met 5 guys there that had left Hamilton around 6 AM to hit the snow. Talking to them @ the end of the day & I think they did around 250 klicks. We did 190.

I want to make sure I understand correctly.  Are you talking about the vehicle/trailer or the sled?

The decks on top of the box, that stick out past the sides of a typical pickup (wide enough to carry 2 sleds).

What are the regulations on vehicle widths/clearance lights in regards to sled decks? 

Up to Lake St Peter Today

More sleds parked across the front of Porterville too.

Honey Doo's has been sold and is now:

Will check it out next time we're up there.

Also Trudy's is closed & for sale. No gas in Coe Hill.

My fear is that in 2 or 3 years (or however long the gap is) the same issues are found on the French River bridge & it gets closed for repairs...

Some pics from Blue Monday

Breaking trail around the yard. Surprisiingly I didn't get stuck in the snowbanks beside the driveway. 

Off to the woodlot tomorrow to break the trails there & over to E107.

As of 11 PM 7" on the snow stick here in Apsley. Nephew was saying 9" on the ground at Ballyduff (north of Pontypool).

If you have received my POI file in the past, I have updated it after a couple of season. PM me if you're interested in the .gpx file.

Hey Kris, miss your post's over at the other place.

 

Here's one I think you'll appreciate. After smacking the lower hydraulic fitting on my backhoe multiple times it snapped off. Bought a generic one, cut, fitted and welded

on, then came up with this protector. It's a combination of an axle U bolt, muffler clamp and some spacers. So far, so good!

 

 

 

I was thinking of a couple of spring shackles too LOL

In case some of you have forgotten what a snowmobile looks like...

This morning:

E107 has been cleared in the Jack's Lake area. Apparently the work started north of the Nephton mine.

The pics are taken at the north end of the forest access road west of the lake/south of Apsley

Before:

After:

South of here the nephew flew his drone along the trail and there was a stretch of about a thousand feet, where the road/trail was completely buried under trees.

Got an interesting friend suggestion today (no mutual friends) . Not sure why anyone would want to be friends with him.

Permit in the mail today.

Going thru the maps & updating the spreadsheet. Will let you know when the online version is a go.

Who is heading to the 'big show' ? anyone here that actually sled anymore?

Went today. Picked up all but the D15  maps for updating the lodging database. For some reason I never noticed their booth. I was surprised D17 had a booth of their own. Talked to Jon from Accelerated Technologies about some work.
