scorpionbowl Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Without Early Riders gas sleigh we would not have made the loop, that worked out great other than when it decided to go its on way in the woods Wow, that's a great loop. No way you're doing that without extra gas, what is that about a 250 mile loop from KM31? I've seen a few gas sled designs, but that one looks nice. Now I just need to build one and hire a Sherpa too haul it...oh wait, that would be Iceman, lol...

This is my first trip here and I know nothing lol Linda, If you've never been there before, it's hard to do a nice offtrail loop. It's best if you have a gps and simply pick a road and ride it until 1/2 of your gas is gone, then turn around. If you're going to Les Escoumins, keep your eye out for the school bus, it's not on the trail, but you can see it on your way out...

iceman Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 You got that right scorpionbowl. Build the gas sled. Sounds like a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I won't do the loop this trip. I would need to make plans and likely a guide. I am very happy on the back trails at the moment. I think there will be lots of fresh powder in the morning! Do I have to go home??? How will I function in the grass after this! Yikes!!
