Back to Work

There's still piles of snow around the camp and some more flurries today...but the work never ends! Bruce has been grading the driveway, putting a new shower in the Raven's Cove cottage, assembling new BBQs, and measuring for a new floor in the Barn cottage.

BIG SNOW!

The snow is hitting us hard right now - with more to come!

The trails are still looking great...

but the sleds are not so good! It's been a fun season, but lots of breakdowns & accidents! We've had several cancellations due to broken sleds (it happens!) and two of our own snowmobiles died. The only one going strong was Jenn's little Polaris... but then she crashed it into a tree (it's totalled, she's not!) A big group from PA spent yesterday taking apart one of their sleds, only to discover they were sent the wrong parts. Oh well... MORE SNOW EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND!

Some Trails Open

Our first group of snowmobilers came from Kirkland Lake this weekend... they had a lot of fun until the broken ankle! At least he's still smiling (or trying to!)

Some of the trails are now open around Matachewan and north, but still waiting for more snow south of Elk Lake.

Not Yet...

Although we've had some snow, the snowmobile trails are not open yet. The groomer is gassed up and ready to go, but the temperature isn't cooperating. We need colder weather for the trails to set up properly. We'll let you know as soon as they're open!

2nd Week = 3 Cows, 1 Bull (8 This Season!)

You couldn't miss the Maskell Group heading home this year - a trailerful of ATVs & moose! They got the cow earlier in the week, and on the last night, Ryan Wilkin shot a bull. Several of the groups who arrived today had spotted them going the opposite direction - what a sight!

Darren Weese (shown kneeling) pulled the trigger on this nice cow. They hunted with the Barre group, and were able to fill the tag this past Wednesday. Nice job!

Two More Cows

Last week, the hunters in camp filled their tags within the first two days - they got 2 bulls, a cow and a calf. This week is starting out the same! First, Bob from the Maskell group shot a cow... then the Garskey group brought in another cow (shot by Jamie on his first moose hunt!) There's more tags to be filled, so stay tuned...
