RIDE'N WITH
THE GALZ MARCH 13th, 2013
9:27 AM We
unload at the Trappers Cabin in Duck Lake.
9:50 AM Just
starting out I double the gals across the highway near by onto
the groomed trail.
10:05AM We are well under way heading
south east down the groomed trail.
10:14 AM Stopping to check everything out.
The new snow is soft on the surface but
blown into many firm drifts every where since the blizzard on
Monday!
Looking around you can see some larger snow
banks that have taken form since the blowing snow a couple days
before!
10:33 AM Just checking on the No Fog
mask fit for
eyeglasses.
10:51 AM This is a nice
homestead that has an equally picturesque sky above it!
11:56 AM We rumble into
Rosthern for lunch.
1:30 PM We head out of Rosthern. The
groomed trail unexpectedly heads north to Duck Lake from around
the corner of the Rosthern Hotel!
1:52 PM
After a short easterly jog the signs point to...
...Duck Lake.
2:00 PM A
photo opp. next to an abandoned farm house.
2:06 PM
2:24 PM We catch up to the groomer just
south of Duck Lake. Just our luck, we saw it in the morning when
Trailering up the highway, and had hoped it would of passed
hours earlier, so that the groomed trail would of had time to
firm up. In most U.S. destinations they groom late at night to
avoid snowmobile traffic right away.
We can't feel to bad thou, our short
tracks were not as disruptive to the groomed trail as a mountain
sled (read groomed trail killer) that was following right
behind the groomer out of Rosthern.
These are large steel grain bins just
outside Duck Lake visible for several miles.
The trail goes past museum and gallery
signage.
Wow Halifax is only 4582 KMs!
The groomed trail goes thru Duck Lake
behind the Town Office...
...the elevators...
...and one of the many murals that are painted
to depict the North West Rebellion.
3 :05 PM
North of Duck Lake we try our snowmobiling skills in some
untouched fields of deep snow.
We head out off the groomed trail into the
rolling Nisbet Forest meadows.
In the back ground here behind J C is the back
road corridor that is the remains of the old "Road from Duck Lake to Prince Albert",
a trail from the 1880's.
Time for W.O.T!
3:31 PM
3:58 PM Back
in Duck Lake ready to load up! A great day of sunny
snowmobiling!
94 Kilometers!
5:21 PM
We've gassed up and we are back in Saskatoon.
A snowmobile trail map.
SIGHTSEEING is one
thing, but are you fit enough to
participate in a cross country snowmobile ride?
