groomer Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I was thinking the same thing, from where the bus is parked to the CB should be good. Lets hope you get some snow tomorrow to fill in the low spots and not the mild weather they are talking about. We are going to head up either Wednesday after supper or leave early Thurday morning arriving at PALC at 8am. I am not sure who is coming or which way we will travel. You can't plan these things too early!! We will ride 3.5 days and put on about 1000 miles, that should be a good Season Opener!! We will pass through the clubhouse when starting or finishing our trek. This will be a good test for my new clutch. I put a Power Block 80 on last week. no problems ,i ll wait for you !! i was thinking about that ,once at the stop sign for the truck logging road ,turn left ,you ll do 200 ' turn right and go down the road toward the mill.you ll catch the shortcut about 1.5 mile lower .you ll save a lot litlle tres if i can say that on the trail.it ll take a few runs to crush them. jean-guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groomer Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 follow the green ones.t l r was nt plowed. where i wrote ''dirty here '' ,just next to t l r . one minute and you ll be back on the shortcut !!you can t miss it .don t go too fast even if it s wide ,some nice corners !! jean-guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 That is right, with the sawmill closed your end of the TLR will not be plowed this winter. A straight line to La Cache, what a great shortcut that would be. It would only take 1.5 hrs!! That is as long as they are not plowing for operations going into Novelle.
