Map of our route today!

Journey in a Nutshell
We left Timmins, Ontario about 8 A.M and rode toward Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario. Fast smooth groomed trails made this one of our easiest days. We got into Hearst, Ontario about 4:30, Mike, Bryon and Julie Pattullo are loading up their snowmobiles on the Snow train tonight, the train leaves for Sault St. Marie, Ontario in the Morning. The rest of us will continue on for the next 6 days. We are heading for Geraldton, Ontario in the morning.

Please email us, we enjoy getting Mail !!!

UFO strikes again.. see the blue light !!!? Here we see our support vehicle driver Adam... He's working pretty hard, each morning he gets all our gear loaded and then waits around for us to call him.... we may or may not see him till we get to the motel, where he gets checked in and has all our gear in the room. Thanks again Adam !
 

The first picture is Bryon demonstrating the proper way to "hang off" when powering through a corner. Notice the way he is using his electric shield cord to achieve maximum weight shift. The bottom picture shows the results of Bryon trying his technique on a moving sled around an actual corner. He claimed that he was distracted by a large patch of green snow but when we couldn't find it, he changed his story to something about a rouge moose. Yea right!. The only moose up here are on the little warning signs along the trail. Even Michiganders know that Moose hibernate in the winter.
 

"Hero of the Day" While passing by a little house, we noticed that a little boy about 4 years old had his miniature snowmobile (Kitty Kat) running and stuck in a snowdrift in his front yard. Everyone passed by pointing. Robert stopped and ran over to him and lifted the little sled out of the drift and put the little boy back on and off he went... Robert is single, soft hearted, loves children, employed, owns his own snowmobile, if interested please send him an email in care of safari@pattullo2000.com
