The Old
 Cecil  Crossing

Here we have a small river to cross to save us 15 miles to go around.


Here goes the two 4 strokes in our group!

Some forest fringe riding area, getting closer to Fort a la Corne!

Lots of homesteads in this last frontier.

OK, this fall after freshening the top end I tossed a well used spare on this SR7...
...before we loaded up in Saskatoon yesterday...
...this has proved to be inadequate!
...and it is time to install the spare.

   More homesteads in the distance.
We install a new drive belt and find the sled operating  unusual by shifting radically, revving high to 8500 with hardly any throttle pressure, jumping suddenly back down to a normal 6000 at part throttle.

We stop and examine the drive belt and clutches for any left over debris that may possibly be hanging a  clutch. 20 sleds @ 5 to 15K KM's each and I have never experienced this before.

We are in the Fort a la Corne!
 wikipedia. Fort de la Corne
|Up to this point we have taken turns riding the SR7, applying varying amounts of throttle keeping the sled out of heavy riding conditions.

Hmmm, this road wasn't plowed last year! But with the next 50 miles real lite and easy on the SR7 drive belt we cruise.

Well this is a pretty official looking sign...but man, really English Creek is in this direction?

So now we're looking at the maps and this doesn't make sense.

 OK we will try this route, but we don't have a lot of fuel to gamble with. Plus we have a sled that is not functioning properly.

Well this is one of a couple alternate trails we try...

...in a couple of directions!

Finally we are off the bladed trail...next to familiar signage, wow why that sign back there with an English Cabin and Tower on it facing that way is beyond comprehension!

...back onto powder covered trails in the Fort a la Corne!

4:30PM we roll into Choiceland! The SR7 is nursed thru the forest trails with an unusual shifting clutch.

In Choiceland we get some help from Rob and Colleen @ Mardells Service. We pry the primary open with a 2x4 to check all the moving parts.


 The only thing we can see wrong is a build up of rubber from the blown belt. This is high out of low gear on the primary and shouldn't effect low gear operation. We scuff both clutches with some lite emery paper to clean all the sheaves. We got what we got and parked for the night will see what tomorrow brings.

Total 122 Miles/ 197 KM

We had invited this Russian Curling Pro to advise us on throwing our rocks but she was a no show!  4 years in a row!
