Tall Pines roads with no ice and snow, leaves on the trees, warm temperatures and no bugs!!

Me too - Yes TC 31 looks like an MTO highway.

The first is the bridge on Landon. Second is the Detlor crossing. Third is on Upper, awesome corner. Then you've got the entry and exit of the uphill hairpin. The next few I'm pretty sure are Middle. The 40 sign is north of the village in Upper going south. Then TC31, a couple of the lower cross road, Iron Bridge is the last. How'd I do?

Pretty good. Yes #11 is looking west from TC31, but somehow the picture makes it look a lot smoother than it is. It was dry (actually almost the entire route was the driest I have ever seen it), but still quite a dip there.
From there we went north on Mayo, across Birch and then the Peanut. Finally up Old Detlor and to Iron Bridge. One of the pictures (probably two) are on Old Detlor - one by the jump at TC402 where it crosses the Heritage Trail.
The 40 sign picture is on Lower Old Hastings near the Glanmire bridge.

Well if Bancroft has been anything like North Bay, things are drier than a popcorn fart up here.
We haven't had a decent rainfall all summer and it hasn't rained much this fall yet either.
24 degrees C and getting a tan on Thanksgiving weekend.
When I used to drive my motorcycle (in university), this weekend was the last ride of the season and it was normally accompanied by single digit temps and the occasional snowflake.

By the looks of the roads, I might be able to get away with the car for working the rally..but I'll probably bring the truck to stay on the safe side

Well I guess what I get for posting this is 5 consecutive days of rain!

Only a few years ago Pines was completely gravel, but it was cold. Most of the route was great, except for a few spots that turned to slick muck... recall running 000 through the Peanut and having atleast one moment in a shady area where the top was mud on frozen ground.
