Looks super. It's been a while since I've been out that way. I've been to Long Point and Sandbanks quite a few times before. Loved it.

I'm marking it off on my calendar right now, but will confirm 1 week before if that's ok.

BTW, great logistics!

Where is the trail system map from if I may ask?

 

this site has an interactive GIS map system
and it isn't bad for dail up

http://www.claimaps.mndm.gov.on.ca/w...iii/viewer.htm

it is a good tool

it is basically what the "backroad mapbook" creators have used
basically satellite imagery is analyzed to view the hard pack road areas

 

If Big D is in...I'm in to....marking it off now.

Count Overland Expeditions in on that little tour....sounds great.

Outstanding planning and presentation......good work!

 

Great links! Thank you.
