Quiet...

Thank you to those who have written in about my recent silence with the Blog and Simply Sasquatch Radio. It was not intentional. There is a time and place for everything and sometimes the timing just doesn't work in your favour - your are caught off guard with things and before you know it months have past.

Simply Sasquatch Radio is not dead. No, in fact, it is coming back very shortly.
As for the blog - well, here I am posting!

My last trip took me to a place just outside of Sudbury back in May. It was a good trip and comfortable, since we had a pair of motorhomes to stay in. Could have roughed it and do the tent thing, or sleep in the truck, but the convenience was to appetizing to pass up.

This past trip taught me a lot about the dangers of being alone, especially when using a ATV. Never drive alone. Always have someone with you on another machine. And make sure at least one vehicle has a winch. We learned that. Several times over.

This trip also taught me that trails are not maintained by anyone in particular, at least where we were. They are just groomed by the traffic that passes through. Large obstacles, such as fallen trees, are typically pushed or pulled aside but nothing really more than that. ATV's are quite capable of navigating some pretty intense terrain.

What I really enjoyed was the fact that is was very private and quiet. We did not see one person, except for traffic on the road, which at best, was minimal. We covered a lot of ground and took in the sights. A great trip.

Happy Summer!
