lynnmor 7,306 #4 Posted August 21, 2022 Most of the land in northern Maine is owned by the companies doing the logging. Many of the roads are owned by them and are open to snowmobiling where you can get a real education about how fast they travel fully loaded and who is going to yield. 😲 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are large signs at all entrances advising that the TRUCKS have the Right Of Way. The roads in n out were VERY rough this year. Some sections under construction and some being used heavily by the big beasts. Still an excellent week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,168 #9 Posted August 21, 2022 The last time we were in that area of northern Maine was roughly 7 or 8 years ago salmon and brook trout fishing. In the distance I saw a cloud of dust and pulled as far as possible off the road. A very similar truck went by us at roughly 40 mph or more and all I could vision was one of those logs coming through the windshield and It would have been lights out. Be safe in the North Maine woods and get out of the way, they wait for no one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,178 #10 Posted August 21, 2022 Back in the '60s I hunted and fished in Northern Quebec on the Wiskinsi river The last 100 mile to camp was on a gravel road that was used by a bus that made a daily round trip. When you saw the cloud of dust coming, you had to find a pull off or be showered with gravel by the 70mph bus that usually claimed your windshield. There was a grader that constantly maintained the road by plowing the gravel back to the center so there was always a fresh supply for the bus to shatter windshields. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
