Funny you ask, we were at the Toronto sno show on Friday and overheard OFSC had a meeting that day @ 3pm to decide, but looking very much like a feasable option. Closing north portion of Trail F and creating a loop for Thesalon riders. I just looked and didn't see any news yet. I would say it's a go. This means Trail F by our camp will be open game and no traffic. Yeehaw

I wish Camoplast would make the Aggresive 1.5 track in a 144", love it on the wifes 121". I have rejetted to help low end flood. Working on some clutching,silencer,and more air intakes. I just bought this sled last Nov. NEW.

Will be at our camp in Gwinn around Xmas/New Years. Have a '08 M8 and '03 Pro-X 600 with 144X2" track. I'd be interested in hooking up with some folks and doing some non trail riding then assuming the snow is decent for it.
Plan to go up many times this winter so I could be game other times too.
getsome
11-04-2009, 12:22 PM
We could meet at the 4 corners in the Kingston plains and bang into some stumps for sure. We'll see when the time gets near, snow pending. keep in touch.

Wish I still lived in Seney getsome. I'd hook up with ya and bring some of the locals and show you even more of the area than maybe even your familiar with--but I took a temporary transfer with work and moved back to Reese so getting back to the UP is going to be tough for me this winter.

I had no idea there were any hills at all on that side of the U.P., Everywhere we have gone over there is flat as heck but then again we haven't explored that end all that much...
P.S. here is a picture of an ol RMK i bought a few summer ago. I planted it and hoped it would take roots and turn into a beautiful flower but no luck.
getsome
01-22-2010, 08:15 AM
Hills are not that big, just steep and technical w/ trees.
We find ourselves searching harder and harder for new spots.
With alot of snow, makes a decent challenge for the 144". We'll see.

Cripes Mike, you needed more throttle in that scenario! :)
