May 24, 2005 Tors Cove Cabin Trip: (38 Photos)

 

38.  May 24th holiday weekend is the unofficial start of camping season for many Newfoundlanders. Our crew was no different as we loaded up the bikes and headed to Maffer & Chrissy's cabin in Tors Cove.

 

 

 

37.  French recently upgraded from a '99 Polaris Sportsman 500 to his fathers old 2001 Honda Foreman which he brought to Tors Cover for the very first time. Meanwhile Adam booked out the Honda One demo Rincon 650, and I rode my trusty Project Foreman.

 

 

 

36. Long had a Honda TRX350 rental bike, Sooley a rented an 80cc dirt bike, and Maffer had a few rides on my 1972 Honda 50 minitrail dirt bike, even sporting a 1970's gold sparkle helmet. 

 

 

 

35.   We had been up to the cabin over the previous couple weekends renovating and repairing the camp. We finished up the last of our renovations during the first part of the long weekend. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and enjoying the fruits of our labour, plus some ATV boggin!

 

 

34.   Later in the day we performed some brush clearing operations. We got some straps and started hauling out alders with the bikes out in front of the cabin. This made the parking area larger, then we cleared another space for parking trailers further down the driveway.
