Newcomb
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 […]
Monday, Monday: Indian Lake to Newcomb

We’ll live to ride again! I’ll take a long range stab into the rest of winter. I should have that on the main site Monday. Opportunity knocked for […]
