Tug Hill D/S ride last Saturday

[Phantom]

Finally getting time to post some pics and GPS tracks for last Saturdays ride. I used a snowmobile map and a GPS to navigate. The goal was to hit some of the places I've only been on sled.

Left camp in Constableville about 7:30-8:00 AM and headed for Swaincot Mill (Freeman Hotel) through Highmarket. Went by Seasonal road most of the way and then by Seasonal to 46 Corners... Looks a little different without snow!

From 46 Corners I headed to Florence then Osceola for a quick fuel stop then to Cedar Pines to bust Joes chops...

On to Redfield... a quick stop at Snowtimes camp a photo op at Lake Effect Inn then on to Diamond, Lorrain and Worth.
Hit Culpepper road and a quick stop at Tug Hill Inn then up Flatrock Road on to Tabolts Corners and back to C'ville for lunch.

125 Miles in 4.5-5 hours there was too much pavement for my likes but being alone I didn't get to explore the way I would have liked to find more trail routes.

I'll post the GPX files in the GPS forum.

(Actually according to the GPS file it was 130 miles in 6.5 hours.) DUH!

Looks like a great ride was had.
Those pics look so familiar, just isn't right to see those places without snow!!!
I would love to see them on my quads.... to damn bad these towns wont wake up!!

Wayne,
Why didn't you ride out back? Tracy and I were out cutting a new trail. I told the girls to tell you to cruise straight out the trail if you showed up.

I headed out and got to a mud hole... knowing the reputation that mudholes on your property have I stopped and turned off the bike blew the horn and yelled. I listend for a wheeler or a yell back and heard nothing. After several times I turned around not wanting to get in deep without help just incase. I was tring to call you and PJ all morning but my phone was not co-operating when it did come on and work I had no signal.
At any rate I know where you are now and I'll be back.

Those are all little mudholes with hard bottoms! You would of been safe on that trail or I wouldn't of told the kids to send you out there. Actually, those were all but dry a couple weeks ago before we got the big rains. We would of never heard you since we were about 3/8's of a mile back and more than likely the saw was running. Now the mud hole from hell is a different story but that's off the trail back in the woods.
