Myself and a few friends from Fall River, NS will be heading over to NL in the months of march/april for a few trips and just wondering who else from NS will be going over for a trip. We stay in Deer Lake and we go to the Lewis Hills and Gros Morne. You've never experienced awesome snowmobiling till you've been on the ROCK

i would but no way to get the sled there

A bunch of us are heading over the second or third week of march.

Count me in Dave!!
Let me know the exact dates as the time gets closer....Would be a blast!!

Brent

I'' be going multiple times, we'll have to try co-ordinate that weekend.

going over to races if thers any :div20: :beerchug: :beer:

Got your PM last night. Just waiting to confirm when Crow will be home from Alberta. I'm probably going to go on a 2nd trip as well. I'll keep you posted.

From the responses to this post and the earlier ones made by Tousan I don't think you'll have a problem finding guys that are going over!

a big parade of trucks, trailers, sleds and Bluenoosers would be a blast. Hard to keep that large of a group togther in the hills though

I can just picture one guy every 10 minutes needing stop and take a leak - we'd never get there! :smilielol:

Sounds like a good time in the making.

lol, some off the trucks will look like they're on fire with the amount smoke comming out of some of them too.

Shaker
Let me know when you guys plan on going and where in NL and where you guys plan on staying becuase I have a place to stay in Deer Lake. Huge empty house during the winters, Christina's parents go away during the winter to Florida so I have a huge empty warm free house too stay at and room for friends.
I lived in Deer Lake for two years and have been sledding there for the past five years so I have a good idea on the trail system. I have some trails on my GPS

We have to try and get Rocky over to the Rock, see if we can get him to leave the Cape :div20:

Jody Marchand

Thanks Jody. When we go I'm sure we'll hook up. I also want to hook up with the guys from Lewis Hillbillies. I have PM'd back and forth to Jue and he's been great to deal with so we want to support them as much as we can.

Great Idea Paul (shaker), I'd like to go out sleddin with them as well. Support the local boys I just ordered some items off the website from them. Now I'm trying to get some stickers from them to advertise them more in Nova Scotia. Jue just sent me a message so it looks like he is going to look after it for me becuase they aren't listed in shopping area.

4 of us from Port Hawkesbury are going over for March Break as of now. No idea what the exact dates are yet, but when ever we have school off. I can go whenever, my sleds over there waiting!

What a Caper Invasion we could have. :beerchug: We are planning our trip for February 27, the night crossing staying till March 5. We went last year the end of March but this year planning on taking my wife over then this year. Can't go March break heading to Cancun. We always stayed in Stephenville at the DreamCatcher. You must hook up with the Hillbillies, they love to ride, always game for a good ride. JUE will take you places that I gaurantee you will be like WHAT, you got to be nuts but I gaurantee you, what a rush. MAN I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK :banghead:

Love to go over with you guys in Feb. but I will be in Florida for a few weeks but come March I will be on the Rock. Those boys on the Rock sure know how to handle those machines, seeing them go up some of those hills is crazy. Hard to beat the Rock for sledding plus the people are Awesome (great combo.)
Had to travel 2 hours away to the Highlands when I lived in Louisdale Cape Breton (growing up) and now I have to travel from Fall River NS to NFLD but it's all worth it when you get to Port aux Basque and start heading towards Corner Brook


:div20: Life is Great

Wow. looks as if we'll have many Caper invasions this winter, yee ha!!!

I saw a comment about stickers, no probs there, just figure out what size you want, and what color. The most popular ones for sleds are the 5" ones, in either black or white. For trucks, you can go mega with a 3 foot wide one, or a medium at 12".

Looks like the hills will be busy this winter, can't wait!!! Make sure you give us some notice once you confirm dates.

Nasty, don't worry about size of crowds, as long as everyone knows that they are responsible for themselves. I've taken groups of 50 in the hills, just need a good anchor incase somebody goes astray :div20:

Come on snow!! :fluffy:

Jue I sent you a message about the stickers on the Hillbillies site. If my order is still in NFLD you can add 2- 5 inch white
2- 12 inch white just add it to the bill Thanks

I have to measure up my back windows in my vehicles and my tool box so I'll place another order with colors in the near further :div20:


Jody Marchand

big commitment without ever being there, lol

Come on over guys! Can't wait to hook up with you Capers again for the next INVASION!

The stickers are now on our online store for anyone who's interested.

:beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug: I am predicting liquor sales will be up this winter in NL :div20: Our trip is going to be a blast. A few new guys coming plus Killman on a new sled. That poor machine :banghead: doesn't know what it is in for. Nasty, we can start our own truck convoy with our rigs starting it.
Looking forward to all this white stuff. :div20:

JODY, My wifes from Deer Lake as well, we spend a lot of time over there. Where abouts is the inlaws place?

is there any snow yet JUE?

Depending on snow conditions here me and the Pro-x2 might be over in Febuary or mid April.

No snow yet Nasty, don't worry, I have you on speed dial for when I plan to make my first trip :div20:

For all of you who plan to come over, I thought I'd share this info so you can decide on a trail pass now to save $20:

Nasty, you and brent should hook up with us when we go over...making the plans now but it will be either the week of the 11th or 18th....and as far as I know it will be for 1 week

Hillman on a new sled! I bet he want's to try Rope Cove Canyon agian. :banghead: Man that was a little tense there for a bit.

Come on over guys, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. :div20:

Newfie looks like it would be a blast forsure! :drunk:

Gonna be a few new sleds hitting the hills this winter...

Me and a few bayboys are heading up 4 sure.. :div20:

deffinitly, i can take 1 or 2 sleds with me in my trailer. there will be multiple trips for sure. There's a few bye's i really want to bring with me. Gonna need an 18 wheeler to take everyone.

You said bye's :beerchug:

The cunning plan is working, pretty soon, we'll have all you capers converted :smilielol:

March NFLD trip then first week in April Antigua for vacation, then hopefully back for some year end highland runs after sunning the Carribbean for a week. Hopefully this will be a good end to and awesome year.

Dix My wife lived up on Phillip drive. Her father and grandfather owned Veteran Sales ( Beer Distributor ) for over 50 years combined on Nicholsville Road. Her parents are moved up here to Halifax and go to florida for the winters. They still have the house in Deer lake where me and the boys from the mainland stay when we go over during the winter. Her last name is Byrne

Jue, I will be taking a season pass as I did last year but the thing is I will be taking both my sleds with me when I go over. Depends on the conditions and where we are going will decide what sled I use. I could always swap stickers from sled to sled. I can't let Nasty make more trips than me in one year. :smilielol:

I doubt you'll win that one Tousan, I figures Nasty will be a well known face around here by the end of the winter, unless he just hibernates at Camp OLO and gets grub and gas flown in :banana:

If I manage to send the wife on a few major shopping trips, might be able to make a few more. :div20: Taking her to Cancun March break should allow me to bank a few trips, hopefully. Whoever has the most snow, that is where my sled will be at. But anyways, I still want a season pass.

I see, so the two trip limit may not be a limit after all. :div20:

Yee haa, going to be some good times :fluffy: :fluffy:

Hi guys, thought I would update you with this info on Trail Passes for our area, since you should have one by law when you come over.

"The new early bird deadline is on or before December 15. That means that you will get your trail sticker for $60 until this time.

If you are taking advantage of the family rate you will get it for $60 first machine, $40 second machine and $40 third machine. Remember the family rate is for three sleds per household, and proof of registration is required when purchasing your family stickers.

After the deadline date of December 15 the cost of stickers will be $80, $60 and $60."

So, for fellers like Tousan with more than one sled it will cost you $100 for both for the year! If you are planning to come for more than one trip, or longer than three days, you should take advantage of the early bird prices now. Other prices are $23 for three day pass and $46 for one week pass.


Let me know if you need help on getting them.

i need year passes for at least three sleds for now

No problem, I'll grab a book at least. That will cover me and you :beerchug:

Hey guys ....can someone let me know what the date is for the trip over...need too setup the inlaws to watch the kids for me.Wouldn t mind going over.I have a truck and trailer ...just need the dates.

Plus anyone hiting the Odyssey trail this yr??? Could be good thing too do after the NL trip...if stomach can take it...lol

Cheers

Jeff

Well Jeff, our yearly Caper Invasion trip, we are planning on heading over the night of February 27 and coming back March 5th. I know a few other guys are planning trips on here just don't think the dates are set in stone yet. Might want to check with Dave Fraser and the boys to see when exactly they are coming over. But you are more than welcome to join our group. We have been over there many times and plan to continue going over many times. You won't want to miss out on a trip. Gauranteed the best snommobiling you will do this year. :div20:
P.S. Hope you can drink. :beerchug:

Hey Wally
That date looks good for me, as long as my offshore schedule agrees....I am also taking my wife to the Mayan Riviera, so I too will be banking " Sledding Trips" in the snow account.
Will I be ok with a 136 1/4?? I am going to extend the XC out to 136''.
I will let you know at the end December for sure, I will have a better idea of my schedule by then.
I'll speak with the New Glasgow crowd and see whats up.

Geeeez I can't wait....

BigDog

I can just here the Hills now roaring with all these "Cape Breton Stock sleds" :smilielol: No prob there Brent just keep us updated. We usually meet over the holidays to get exact numbers then we start booking. Chico at the DreamCatcher told us when we were just over there that he would make sure we had enough rooms. You must get the vid to see just what you are missing. Highlands really can't compare to Lewis Hills. Just look at how many people from over here are going over there to invade the hills. Can't wait it is going to be a blast. Just to let you know that we usually go a few days without JUE and the boys into around the back of his cabin and stuff, don't worry, you won't be board. Then they usually join up with us say maybe from Friday on. And don't worry about your track, 136 1 1/4 will be plenty on that STOCK sled. :beerchug:

Hey Tousan,

As per our earlier PM's, a friend and I will also be making the trip over at the same time so can you let me know when you're getting together over the holidays so we can meet with you guys as well. Do you have a block of rooms reserved or should I call myself for an additional one. Also, can you tell the best way to go about getting two season passes for the early rate or should I contact Jue. I read his earlier post just not sure how to go about the actual process of paying for it from here. Do you guys book a fery crossing early? We'll have a truck and trailer as well. Let me know. Thanks.

Shaker, when we meet over the holidays we get an actual number of guys that are going. Usually I will call and book all the rooms at the DreamCatcher. THis year may do it different, might just tell everyone when we are going and pass on the phone number and let them book the rooms cause I have had people back out at the last minute so this way you book them, you are responsible for them. Will keep you updated though as too when we will get together. As for the passes, just PM JUE to see how you will go about getting passes. If you plan on making more than one trip, yes, get the early bird pass but if it is just our trip you plan on going just by the few day pass when you get over there. That is what we have done in the past anyways. Myself I will be buying a season pass as I will be making more than one trip. :banana: As for the ferry, we usually don't book until around a month or so before the trip. Will keep you updated as well.

OK...Feb.27 - Mar.5 sounds good.Well start on the in-laws soon...lol Shouldn t be a problem.Sounds like its a blast over there...looking forward too it.I have room for a sled on my trailer if anyone needs it....aswell in the truck. Around how many are going?

And for the record...I m a newfie....exmilitary(navy)living in new glasgow.So go easy on me...lol


Cheers

Jeff

Welcome aboard Jeff :div20: Right now we have around 20 going by the looks of things. Might have to take you up on your offer on the sled. Fraserdr might be looking for a ride but will let you know well in advance. And as for being a Newfie, they are soon going to give me my own zip code I am over there that much :smilielol: We will be keeping everything up to date on here so just stay in touch and get ready for a wicked trip. :beerchug:
