Around the horn with Crazy Cal!
Cal’s favorite loop is the ride via Newcomb, Long Lake, Raquette Lake and Moose River Plains back to Indian Lake. Being that Friday’s ride would get into HEAVY snowmobile traffic, we decided to bang it through Moose River Plains in the morning, then escape to lesser traffic in Newcomb for the afternoon. Sound strategy is […]
