Gerritt Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Due to certain life changes.. I am in need of a break and get-a-way time.. (yah yah... single again.. FINALLY!) I am not looking to party, I just need to de-stress. Looking to do a four day trip somewhere up north. Just to get away... here are a couple of things I am looking for. Nice cabin Ice fishing (of course) Skidoo rental for the duration of the four days. ( I have my own sled.. but dont trust it) Access to trails A warm and relaxing atmosphere For myself... and possibly one other... If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears! Thanks in advance folks.

crappieperchhunter Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Can't help you with any of the leg work Gerritt. But I used to work with a fellow who took a weeks vacation every winter and ran the snowmobile trails up Cochrane way. He said the trails up there are fantastic and that Cochrane is a snowmobilers paradise so I would assume rentals might be a good possibility up there. He did bed and breakfast places alone the way and really had a great time. He wasn't a fisherman at all..but I know the area has it's share of fishing destinations. He was so enthusiastic about his vacation every winter...almost made me wanna check into it myself sometime. Just a suggestion G...wish I could be more helpful.

Head South my friend but wait till you guys stop sending all of the cold weather down here. The Southern Contingency Lol, thinking the same thing! Right here what you need to do... Cheap flight from Buffalo to Costa Rica Rent an enduro bike or ATV Ride around the rain forests camping or finding local lodgings Whenever you hit the coast rent a local panga to go out chasing yellowtail tuna, roosterfish and jacks. Come home tanned, full of fresh caught tuna and stuffed with cheap local Central American food. 1 week of riding Toto...we're not in Kansas anymore! Forget dropping bundles of cash on a 40' sportfisherman charter, hire a local panga to go out chasing inshore fish. Deluxe housekeeping suite...$35/night Single guy, working man's Costa Rica vacation, all for under USD$1k. It's like taking a snowmobiling ice fishing vacation...only without the snow & ice...and the nightlife is livlier...and the bikini factor is much higher in Costa Rica this time of year than Chapleau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
