Seek Out Club For Enthustiastic Snowmobile Fun
Snowmobilers visiting On-
tario this winter will find instant
comaraderie by joining in the
activities of any of the province's
more than 100 snowmobile clubs.
Contact with one of the clubs
offers the best way to get acquain-
ted with the splendor of the
province's winter wilderness
areas and reach prinfe ice-
fishing spots available only to the
snowmobiler.
Club members are always
happy to adopt" the visiting
devotee and make him aware of
local regulations about the ma-
chines, offer him safe, marked
trails, and an invitation to join
in regular club outings.
The snowmobile has con-
quered bush country that in
other years was unexplorable.
Snow in Ontario's back country
is usually too deep for boots,
too remote for snowshoes and
often too rugged or forested for a
light plane on skis.
With the back •torn tune trend
extending through t e winter for
more and more peop e each year
since the snowmobile came on
• the scene, the hardier souls will
find the answer to weekend city
doldrums with a truly ad-
venturous camping trip 'in the
snow.
It's really quite,easy to cavort
in the snow all day, miles from
the nearest road or habitation,
then camp over night in a shel-
tered nook and continue with
the fun for another day or more.
The bulky equipment and the
slugging formerly associated
with winter camping have been
eliminated with the new light-
weight tents and 'freeze-dried
foods. Down-filled sleeping bags
are the order of the day while
the tiny gas-operated stoves now
on the market can handle any-
thing from boiling coffee water to
preparing a full steak dinner from
a compact, envelope.
Snowmobiling is permitted in
all but 13 of Ontario's more than
100 provincial 'parks. In 15 of
these, snowmobiling is restricted
to designated and marked trails
and in the remainder, machines
are permitted on existing park
roads or other specially desig-
nated and marked areas.
Moreover, three Ontario
parks offer special facilities for
winter campers. The three - -
Arrowhead, Sibbald Point and
Pinery - - have been set up to
accommodate the winter devotee.
Provided throughout the winter at
the , parks are snowplowed
roads and campsites, heated
washrooms with hot water, fuel
wood, garbage disposal areas and
drinking water'. Overnight
campers in the parks are re-
quired to pay a $2.50 fee while
those entering for a day only
are assessed a $1. charge.
A number of trails have been
established on Crown lands by the
Ontario Department of Lands and
Forests to accommodate some of
the snowmobilers who prefer this
kind of prepared and marked.trail
development. These trails are
located in areas of relatively
heavy snow cover and are estab-
lished to supplement the trails
developed in provincial parks and
more than 1,000 other trails
marked by snowmobile clubs,
winter resorts and private land-
owners.
For those who don't have the
time or inclination for an over-
night trip, how about a day's
circuitous jaunt' broken at mid-
day by a simple, cookout over a
hearty, crackling fire. It doesn't
take much of a pack to carry a
few hotdogs and some hot choc-
olate - - or 'anything else from
sandwiches to the makings of a
shish-ka-lob.
Don't forget the children on
these outings. Make it a family
excursion. Many snowmobile
manufacturers have now put on
the market light-weight, durable
sleds easily capable of holding a
couple of youngsters when towed
behind a machine.
Snowmobilers in Ontario
should be aware of some new
laws in effect this year before
headirig out this winter.
For the first time, snowmo-
bilers must now report any coll-
ision on or off the highway which
involves personal injury or
damage exceeding $200 to
property other than that of the
owner or driver.
The driver of a snowmobile
must hold a driver's license to
TRY ONE ...
THEN DECIDE
"THE BIG RED ONE IS COMING
THRU".
