Many thanks to all the trailbreakers!
Mongrel - I'll be pulling a sled.
Cedar- hope your boy isn't scratching up a storm.

I will have a sled as well. Also gonna bring my big kettle and a small grill for the fire.
I will be bringing my sled as well.
I still need to purchase snowshoes...
Put me on the confirmed list for arriving Saturday morning and staying until the food is gone.
I'd like to thank all those intrepid explorers and those people with knowledge of the area. I wish I knew the area better to add my two cents.
All I can say about snowmobiles is, if you're camping near a lake, especially a large one, it doesn't matter where you are, the echo of the machines roaring in the distance will find you. That was my experience hanging over New Years.
I should be able to go up early, leaving from Toronto. May be able to offer a ride to an eager early bird. Or at least co-ordinate with those trail-breakers. Both my snowshoes and I are in need of a workout.
I'm camping with the Scouts this weekend, so I get to test all my gear. I'd advise others to test/check their stuff beforehand as well (backyard or park). Make sure it's all ship shape and Bristol fashion and can safely handle the temps.
I'm thinking about pulling a sled. Winter stuff is heavy. :P

I'm arriving Saturday morning as early as possible. I can only stay the one night so want to make the most of my time.
Man, you guys are brave! Depending on if it is unseasonably cold and/or stormy, Y'all could really end up testing some extreme temps!
Do Y'all allow deep south redneck rebel types over the border up there? Won't happen this year, but joining in on a hang like that could be a major adventure for a southern boy whose record in a hammock is 10F!
You're more than welcome to join us Billy Bob! My nickname is Bubba afterall. Chard coined the term "EGL-Eastern Great Lakes" hangers to include our hammock brethren south of the border. Last year us crazy Canucks got down to -13F. Who knows, it could go lower this year. 10F is nothing to sneeze at!
