We are staying and then leaving our rigs at Tem Rose for the week. The entire area is showing green so I'm assuming we should see great conditions. I've seen many of your posts about your Ontario trips. We also did many saddlebag trips in Ontario.(since 2001) Our longest was 1850 miles from New Liskeard North then down to the Sault and back through Timmins. We went to the Gaspe last year and now we will be focusing on Quebec for awhile since we have done pretty much everything in Ontario and needed a change.

As you know we have had bad luck last few years we would schedule our trip in Ontario then weather would change and we would have to cut our trip short the last few years, so we are glad the weather looks good, maybe we will cross paths riding we are riding 3 Arctic-cats Thundercat,Crosstrek,Zr 9000 , Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had this same trip planned last year but the weather turned to crap on us. I cancelled the whole thing on a Sat morning and by noon had another trip all booked in Gaspe. The next day we were in the Gaspe starting our saddlebag trip. These past few Winters have been a real challenge when it comes to planning trips.
