2. @Saturnine I have the days off. Just looking to get life stuff settled

Moving to the im in list. Sliders are done and grade 8 hardware should arrive tomorrow.

We're planning to leave either Friday night or early Saturday. Same timeline as @Norilsk

 

Work is picking up so I definitely won't be joining this trip.

 

Planning on leaving GTA Friday morning, so might be the first one out there.

Who is planning on camping? And did We pick a campsite location yet?

so many questions…

 

We are T - 3 days, so yeah, may as well start planning camping location and other trip information. I would not recommend to camp further that existing coordinates of meet up just in case of the situation you'll need to get out quick.


Who is coming up Friday? Saturday morning?

let's hear.

 

you better be live streaming this, i'm getting the 10kg back of popcorn from costco for this adventure!

 

My brain says abandon ship but my heart says my brain's an idiot

 

I’ll meet ya’ll on Saturday morning, staying with my parents up there for the weekend. I’m only planning to go out on the Saturday.

 

I’ll be coming up Friday evening, camping with @Trdtacosauce and making large fire I got my poor man iphone camera setup ready for the gram (long stick + OSMO4 + iphone SE) @Shveet

 

Try to avoid hitting any moose on your way up in the dark

 

What kind of a trip would that be without the adventure? Plus BBQ will be ready for breakfast.

 

Going list:
1. @Norilsk - Friday night

Maybe:
1. @Saturnine

If you guys have campsite suggestions let me know, also, trybringing as much dry wood as youcan; we gotta cook @Norilsk thistime

 

I’ll be up there Saturday morning as well. I’ll keep an eye on here to see where you guys are. Will you drop your coordinates once you set up camp Friday night?

also, have any of you tried to repair the copper air line of an arb locker? I think mine got nicked by the gears again. Gonna take it apart tonight.

 

I will post coordinates once I get there, most likely very close to the meeting point already posted.
If I have no reception, I will use the GPS comm to report back.

 

How many days is everyone staying? Camping each night, or are some opting for hotels?

Do we have a planned route/trails?

I too have so many questions...

 

I am camping Friday night and making big fire with @Trdtacosauce and leaving Saturday late afternoon, got to be in Campbellford for some XC skiing.
Route wise there is a map above attached. I’ll have gpx files posted here tonight.

 

I'll arrive early afternoon on Saturday and leave Monday. Staying at a hotel in Mattawa.

Stupid winter.

Rained all afternoon today, and we are now lined up for snow every day for the next 9 days.

Who's taking over the reigns once Fearless Leader quits abandons us departs for legitimate reasons?

Is @llamasmurf still offering up his wood?

 

Yep I have firewood for who ever wants it!

If you guys want to pick it up, that would probably work best. I can move a ton of it to the front yard, and you can take it all on your way through?
