They may have some more snow since then. On the other side of the river heading to M20 trail was real good on Thursday. Have a good trip!

Those big trails up there Tom are Yamaha material, nothing like the sweet sound of a 10 000rpm motor singing to ya. I'll be up there trailblazing soon.

rmk Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 linda what kind of motel's or cottages are in the area? Do they have good snow early season or is it more a late run area? Ive always wanted to do the train north ride (I think that is what it is called) only left from North bay 2 times but from the cabin in Pa its only 420 miles north close.
