    Glad you guys are all so eager. If Valens was any indication, we're in for a great time.

I did a fall fat bike trip/camp where we went in last year, did lots of exploring on the ATV rails.

    Anyone know what the ice conditions are on the lakes now? I want to know if I should pack my canoe...

    I'd love to do it but not sure I'd be able to do the hour hike. Don't know what the capability of my foot will be. Plus I don't have any type of sled or transport or know how to use one. Like to try some day. I know I'll be itching to show off the new SmokeHouse II and stove. Sure you guys don't want to go back to The Valens!?! It is WIFI free....

    I'm keeping an eye on this for Saturday if the site is findable. No chance of making Friday.

    And depending on how messed up my doctor says my knee is.

    Keg, I am more than happy to wonder back out to the cars on Saturday to meet up with you. I also have an extra Paris expedition sled and 0* 3/4 length UQ if needed.

    The walk in will hopefully be across frozen lakes, following snowmobile tracks. I'll see what we can do about getting some information about current conditions closer to the hang. Worst comes to worst you pack light and haul your sled behind you like you're at your neighbourhood park with the kids. I have no problem hauling an extra bundle or two. Sometimes having a snowmobile would be really handy.

    Trying to spot us if we're tucked away in the trees can be a bit of a challenge. We had a dickens of a time finding Highboy last year, even though we were following a random trail that turned out to be the right one. I'll try to string an EGL or Canadian flag from the trees in our area. We can send out a map with key spots we're likely to be at (so far 3 for sure, 2 on the north shore, 1 on the south). Bring a small pair of binoculars if you have them to make it easier. If you're sure of the time you're arriving, a rendevous could be arranged as jayson mentioned above.

    Hope your knee turns out OK Keg! I just went in today for a epidural steroidal injection. Feels pretty funky so far.
    I'm always trying to stay hoprful. I'll keep you folks updated on my condition. Hey if I'm not quite ready could one of you young strong gentleman just put me in a polk pull to the site, set up my rig and put me in my hammock?!?! I'll cook Pot Roast again. ha ha

    I think if we keep an eye out on the snowmobile trails in the area, (especially kawartha lakes), we'll know when the ice is ok.

    Granted we can haul you in like cordwood tied to a pulk, but if the weather turns really cold, I'm sorry, but you'll just have to go on the fire.

    Maybe we can find you one of these and then we'll see who's hauling whom.
