Map of our route today!

Journey in a Nutshell
We got underway about 8:00 A.M. this morning, We left Manitouwadge, Ontario and traveled northwest toward Nakina, Ontario, well that was the plan.. About 10 miles out we noticed that George was taking us southeast, while the maps said we should be going Northwest...in other words the opposite direction.... we finally got him stopped and turned around. He still claims he saw a sign the day before that would have got us there ???? While we were turning around John decided to see how fast he could go in reverse. He got going pretty good, but turned the handlebars a little to much and rolled his sled on top of him....We started running toward him not knowing if we should grab our cameras or help him.... As you can see we have no pictures! John survived with no injuries, except for his pride! He also tried to Snowduche Pete, but only managed to run into a tree. We stopped  for lunch and gas in Caramat, Ontario. We got there about 11:00 A.M., the only gas station, post office, restaurant, hardware, pool hall, grocery store, etc.. did not open until noon. We found a local and he called the owner to come and open up! This town is not even on the map above.  We rode up to Nakina, Ontario and then back down to Longlac for the night. Snow conditions are excellent up here. We arrived about 6:00 completing just over 240 miles today. We will be  heading west toward Beardmore, Ontario. Everyone loves to read the emails we get each day... keep them coming, ask us a question, whatever! just click below

Breaking for Lunch in Caramat, Ontario.  We had to wait for the only place in town to open @ noon!

Does anyone know what this is used for ??? or what it is called??? We know its some kind of railroad car used by CN railroad.

We had to stop and fix Georges Ski, the wear rod that makes it go straight down the trail was bent at a right angle. He must have hit a big ROCK!
