That JetSki looks wicked! But tell me more about that First Gen. keeper or flipper?
Back to the jetski, I’ve been looking for a similar unit (half-assedly) for a couple summers, but can’t draw up the commitment to buy one. Too much work for me to drag it to the lake, and no place for the kids. Also, I’m afraid I’ll like it too much and simply abandon my family days at a time haha. I’ve been a licensed pleasure craft operator for 17 years, still yet to buy/rent/borrow/try a jetski…the fear of falling in love is real. Like a crotch rocket on water is what I imagine.
Hey Guys! Sorry I’m so slow to chime in, but I’ve found the map from 2019 Tour, and have taken a couple screen shots of where to find waterfalls in the area you’ve mentioned.
Apologies again, good maps sucks for this kinda thing because I can’t show road names and its where abouts on the map in one capture.
First up, the old Route. There was only one instance where we had to deviate from the map, because a section of road was closed with concrete highway barriers. The first two pictures are the old route and turn list, not very sophisticated.
Second. I have put up a screen shot, and the WF indicates a waterfall is there. although they are on private property, they are visible (and picture worthy) from the public roadway. Following River Rd Eastbound, there are a few opportunities to see pretty fast flowing water, but not really “falls”.
The last picture is just showing how SIdeRoad 15, River Rd, Prince Of Whales and Mill Lane are somewhat situated near each other.
Greg, I think the best way to do this distance planning would be for me to call you while we both look at Google (or a map of some sorts) and I can talk to a few roads that are awesome. Shoot me a text this week, and we’ll figure it out. I am off work Friday July 2nd for stat holiday.
Just a wee bit of carnage.
I removed two mud flaps from the Taco when they got pinched between rocks and the tires in a reversing manouver, lost the passenger side rear bump stop, and broke the pass side leaf spring (again!!). A great weekend camping, not so great for Truckee haha.The ATV ran her brakes out, nothing left on the front lever or rear pedal haha. But I think they are original from 1991.
No crowds at all.
One group of parents and kids on the main beach, two ppl with a trailer on the North side of the beach, and us 3 on the south side rocky section.Hoping to go again June 26/27 just for one night with the kids. Dad and two girls, should be quite the adventure. Prolly camp out on a spot of sandy beach though, better for diggin’ and running into the lake.

March eh? I’ve gotta check out the gear you wear in March.
I need to buy a set of gloves that slot between my leather & wool “cold morning” pair, and my fairly thin MX gloves good for +15 degrees.
Replacing my missing OEM wind deflectors would go a long way too I’m sure.Glad it sold! Sometimes the hardest part, getting a buyer.
The LC is lookin’ pretty healthy, got any camping trips in the works?
Long live the 1980’s!

Today OUT of The Shop, I finally had a ride on the DR600 without fuelling issues! Yesterday I took the float valve out AGAIN, and got another small chunk of crap out of the carb, and reset the float height. Today I rode 35kms, varied fast/slow, and not a single concern arose!!!
Now, the weather needs to get back into double digits, cause I am still cold haha.In accordance with the Province of Ontario lockdown requirements, this event has been CANCELLED.
Sorry guys, hopefully by July we’ll be all sorted out.
Today in The Shop, I pulled the float valve assembly out again and got a huge chunk of crap out of the seat. I know that’ll fix my fuel starvation issue that I’ve been having commuting during the week, but it still didn’t solve the leaking out the overflow concern. Still waiting on the new assembly I ordered to come into the store. My bike is awesome, but this one little part is such a pain.
Thursday on a short tour in Redee, the speedo snapped down to 0 and sat there. I thought perhaps the speedo drive cable popped out again, but not so lucky. The spiral wound cable broke cleanly about 10” off the t-case. I ordered a replCement today, about $150 to the door.
Today I started sourcing parts for Truckee to change the serp belt and idler bearings. She’s getting a little noisy.
