Where in northern Ontario? I drove thru there a few years ago and the frost heaves were too harsh for the RV, that kept me further south. I did get up to Flin Flon and Thompson in Manitoba. I only got up to Longiac, Hearst and Cochrane in Ontario.

Hearst and Cochrane would be "the Far North" I'm in the Georgian Bay lake effect snow belt, a little north of "cottage country"

This road looked like it went forever but - 1. I couldn't see anything interesting, as far as I could see. 2. It had rained all day the day before and this is that greasy, duck poop betonite soil. 3. Talon's don't have very good 'fenders' even with Rokblokz, so I took a pass.

There's a 'famous' 'geyser' in the area, these property owners have had it 'up to here' with tourists - :p ... it ain't this way, keep the F out -

Middle of the desert, no effin' clue -

The distances out here are yuge, bring fuel - :eek:

These sandstone cliffs draw me like a moth to the flame -😍 Not many in this area tho - :(

The chickensh!t federal gubmint closed 300 miles of trails in Utah, just cuz they could. This closure was in the middle of nowhere, I doubt it saw 100 vehicles a year. I have no idea why. And that's why I hate the feds - :mad:
1735177304893


This is the closure from the other end. :mad:
1735177608963


The two black waypoints show where the trail is closed. It was open when I rode it last year - :mad:
1735177958065


The closed section is in the red oval. I wish that I could show y'all how remote this is. The area is underutilized and the effin' feds shut it down for no reason. :mad: I also think the twisty blue track above the red oval got closed too, for no reason, equally remote with very low traffic. Maybe our real President will find time to undo this travesty - keep the feds out of Utah. Sorry about the political content but they're coming for us.

Another randomly closed trail in the same area. I had ridden this a year ago -
1735178881010


The closed trail is in the red circle, looking toward the NE. It's the access to the twisty blue trail that I think also got closed, mentioned above. :mad:

I've been by this old mind dozens of times and even photographed it on here. I don't think I'd ever noticed this concrete with the date scratched in it...

20241228 114521



It looks to say 1961.
When I look back at the past in my mind's eye, I imagine certain time periods. Even though I wasn't alive yet, the '60s to me seem like a time when the country was still fresh and young and prosperous Bright and sunny, metaphorically speaking.
I wonder what times were like when this concrete was poured and how this area looked.

But the same token, always think of a '70s as being a dark period. It seems to be when manufacturing started moving away from the country and Detroit etc was in decline. Crime seemed to ramp up, and you started getting the first strong movements of groups that hated this country from within. EPA rules, some of them necessary, also drove a thriving youth car culture into a smog laden gas guzzling shell it's former self. Soliders returning from a ugly (as opposed to beautiful?) war to a country where a sizable portion of the population hated them.
And I was born too...LOL. Maybe too late...

This is the end of a flash flood, where it ran out of steam, coming toward me -

I rode the trail for 6 miles, 90% of it in the creek bed but it was headed into forest and I'm a desert rat, I was running out of time and headed back. It surprised me that the topo showed this as a main forest service road, running right up the creek bed -

Scenery on the way there was ... well, it was ok - :p

Yes, they were. The people who built this country in general were.

WATERFALLS... My favorite!! 😍😍😍 I need to plan to come ride there one really rainy weekend, just to chase waterfalls.

How was the Parolee Restaurant?
It was what I expected for a pizza joint. $10 for a 6 pack of Michelob ultra and a bucket of ice. You can't beat that deal in a restaurant lol. The bathrooms are gonna suck when they get busy. 1 men, 1 women and 1 family. I got tired of taking waterfall pictures yesterday there was so freaking many.

That is a nice one! Like a 5 mile round trip hike too. I have not been there in like 6 or 7 years. We did Princess that same weekend, and my daughters were ready to kill me. Big South Fork has some nice ones and some fun Jeep wheeling areas. The B&O Road being my favorite, old rail bridge at the end.🤣
