Journey in a Nutshell
We awoke this morning with temperatures 75 degrees warmer then yesterday, going from -30 below 0 to 45 above. We got underway about 8:00 A.M. this morning, We left Longlac, Ontario and traveled east toward Hearst, Ontario, As you can see on the map above it was a pretty straight shot, traveling mostly down gas pipeline rightaways. We stopped about half way and met up with our Support Team (Ono) David Loomis and had a picnic along the trail. We only saw about 10 other snowmobiles today.  We basically  have the trails to ourselves! .We arrived about 4:00 P.M.completing about 160 miles today. We will be heading east  toward Hornepayne, Ontario in the morning for lunch and then back to Hearst this evening.. Everyone loves to read the emails we get each day... keep them coming, ask us a question, whatever! just click below

Image Trek (click on pictures to enlarge)
We came upon this snowmobile this morning, just sitting along side the trail.... John jumped on her and gave her a couple of pulls... she started right up! After much debate we decided not to trade one of our sleds for this one. Doe's anyone know what model and year this sled is ???
 

Here we are taking a lunch break, the Whiskey Jacks (little birds) danced around us.. looking for morsels. On the menu, Jack Links Jerky and sausages, string cheese, crackers, cookies and boiled eggs.
 

John, Pete and Robert played out in the deep snow today, John hit a rock and broke a halifax bolt (the slider the track runs on) we did emergency repairs along side the trail... Sure glad it wasn't 30 below 0!
 

For you Caro Rotarians following this trip, you asked for this picture of Betty... She kept asking if we had any magizines???
