PLAYHARD Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 It looks like the reroute probably adds some miles? Those gas jug folks at Demaraisville are pretty friendly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I used 2 of the 4 gallons I was carrying. I just continued on.....I did have an unscheduled stop or 2 after the dump. :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper2 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I guess if you are going to carry a shovel you may as well put it to use It looks like the reroute probably adds some miles? Those gas jug folks at Demaraisville are pretty friendly! Hard to believe but only adds about 5 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazer Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 GT Rider your sled on the snow bank with all your gear on the back reminds me of the Grinch that stole Christmas movie when the Grinch was cresting the mountain on his sled with all the stolen xmas gifts on the back with the little dog in front.

viper2 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Wow. Not that's a serious workout getting that beast back on the trail! Good it was a "light" ski doo, probably would have had to put the title on the dash of my Apex and left it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Rider Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Viper2 and Trailblazer I just blew my coffie out my nose. Thanks. :rofl: Iceman we got tired of the comealong and got the electric winch. When I say we I mean me. :rofl: Florida Snowman the snow berm was fast with the shovel. The sink hole was easy with the winch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now call ahead if I know where we are going....SPORTSMANS LODGE SUDBURY ONTARIO....Ask them to tell you the hair blower story. They didn't have any when I made the reservation and brought 5 riders with me. So I simply asked...and so there is one there now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowpromod Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 What is it the typical time to run Sennetere - Chib? Looking to run from Sennetere - St. Felecian in a day, interactive map shows 380 miles . . . but looking for some real world info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markusvt Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Yup, you are looking at very close to 380 miles to Lac Faillon, more into Sennetere. A very big day, but doable if you are into 400 mile days and $150+ in fuel. Edited February 13, 2013 by markusvt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev39 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks for all the responses. Is there always gas in Desmairisville or can you call ahead? Would be in big trouble if they had no gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very big day, but doable if you are into 400 mile days and $150+ in fuel. $200 in gas ouch . . . sounds like the average price per gallon up that way is $6.30 a gallon? Might rethink our loop a little and stay the night in Chib. Here is an odd question - is there a preferred way to travel be tween Sennetere -Chib, Eastbound vs. Westbound?

markusvt Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Fuel is $1.35 a liter in town, and up to $2.25 in the bush. Most Outfitters are at $1.50-$1.75 a litter this year. We have done the ride both ways, not sure I have a preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to go Eastbound to Chibog, that way you don't have to get on the railbed in the am at -40 And holy crap GT I don't think I've ever seen so much stuff on a sled! Hopefully there's a fully stocked bar in there also LOL! Stay off the lakes! Edited February 13, 2013 by Jackstraw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
