Canadians make up 40% of the business at Kingdom Trails, a large mountain biking trail system. And down here as well. All the beaches from Mass to Maine welcome this announcement as it’s been 2 summers with out the usual tourist business from Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten about how many Canadians hit the beaches of NH & ME. I'll get the enhanced driver's license when I renew in November so we can explore Quebec. I wouldn't mind checking out the Atlantic Provence s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I was pretty impressed with the Quebec trail system and I only saw a small part. Looking forward to doing a big loop hopefully in February or March. Like up thru chibougamu and back. Couple weeks worth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you keep things locked down chances are they will move on to something easier to steal. Cover the truck VIN number. Lock your sleds together through the tracks. Pull the ignition fuse in the truck when parked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave the rig in the states and cross by sled when i go prob bump through NB from Ft Kent. Same distance really as driving to RDL. last canada loop i rode jackman out the south shore to RDL, east then back through Ft Kent/Millinocket and back to Jackman for a nice 1000 mile loop.

At what point, since this is just the beginning of this type of B.S., imo, is enough enough? Should people have to bring their whole medical history from birth with them anytime they travel?
