iceman Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Decided to hit the trail. My first time ever riding the federal Quad trail. It surely is much different than riding the sled. But seat time is seat time. Still felt good to pinch the throttle a bit, albeit at a much slower pace. Certainly do not cover the ground like when riding the sled.

Pipemaster Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 We did the same last week near Jackman Maine. We rented ATV’s in Jackman and stayed at Bulldog Camps just south of Jackman. We rode 3 days and chilled the rest of the week. Hiking, swimming and wood burning sauna 👍 PLAYHARD, P Hardy, Je me souviens and 7 others 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re in Bingham, with locations in Northern Outdoors and Jackman. 2021 Polaris sportsman 570 EPS . Nice machines for rentals, comfortable ride as we hit some REAL nasty trails. Ended up with 200+ miles in 3 days. PLAYHARD, MrGutz and jak 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Pipemaster, Looks like Bulldog Camps really has upped their game and gave the place a nice makeover. Looks nice. I think last winter I rented the Polaris VR1 sled from the same place, their shop in Jackman. Top of the line sled. Nice outfit to deal with. mike PLAYHARD, jak and MrGutz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New lodge is 5-6 years old and beautiful with a 3 bedroom house on top in the back for himself. We went with the meal plan and food was great and lunch to go while out riding.

Mike are you making plans to ride in the same area as last year. Do you feel that there maybe still a problem with the border. I'm just asking because I was stubborn and didn't ride anywhere last year. If not Quebec I'm thinking the upper peninsula or Maine. I do have friends that ride the lake placid area. It's such a chame that this virus is controlling so much in all of our lives. PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 I would love to ride Millinocket another year. So nice to arrive there in 2 1/2 hours instead of 6 hrs or more. If the border opened and I stayed in Maine, I probably wouldn't have any friends to ride with in Maine, they would all be in Quebec. So if the border opens, and the Quebec businesses are fully open with no foolish rules about seating etc. (like only 2 to a table and only half the seating available), I most likely will go to Quebec. I am torn. Maine trails weren't as consistently as smooth, but they were really nice in Millinocket and the lunch stops were top notch. The hotel owner really treated us QuebecRiders great, letting us gather each late afternoon or evening in his un used bar. He even let a couple guys leave their sleds next door in his storage garage so they wouldn't have to trailer them home. jak, smclelan, zeusand and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
