kiltman is clairvoyant perhaps..... a Sunday morning discussion was had (without him), and to my knowledge the organizers hadn't made anything official. So, I'm guessing some further discussion happened today....... I'm going to leave it there until the new disorganizers make an announcement. I think I got permission to at least mention that Mikedo and dcoleman are your new gurus of OnSTOC, and I'm sure they'll do a fine job.
 
Robert.
I'm a little late to the game. I've been a little busy with planning another event.
Looks like a fun time again. Should meet you at the front of the line . . . unless you beat me to the ferry again.
 
This video came into my feed. They speak highly of the Deer Trail, we did it this past summer on it’s on the agenda for next year.
Laurentian Lodge off of the Deer trail has been highly recommended, so something to consider this time around.
We won’t be heading to Chapleau or Wawa, that is depicted in this video, I have a couple of other roads to explore instead.
The drone photography is pretty epic in this video,
 
I received this in the mail yesterday,
There are some attractions along the route that I think will be worth visiting. In the chasing waterfalls section, we can visit the “Bridal Veil falls” On Manitoulin Island, https://www.exploremanitoulin.com/bridal-veil-falls-2/
The falls on the Aux Sable River in Chutes Provincial Park in Massey. ( we are scheduled to camp there).
On our way to Bancroft we can detour to the A. Y. Jackson lookout to view the High Falls near Onaping Falls. https://discoversudbury.ca/things-to-do/activities/a-y-jackson-lookout/
Hey we can even stop off at the Big Nickel in Sudbury. ;)
Stop off at the Riv Chip Stand in Sturgeon falls for Lunch on our way to ONSToc. https://www.rivchipstand.ca/
This is just a taste of what’s in store for the Rolling/ONCamp event 2026

I’ve booked the Providence Bay campsite, the same one as last year. I’ve looked at the availability of Missisaugi and Chutes provincial parks and there are plenty of sites available, so I don’t see the need to book them. Later this week I will probably book the ferry crossing.
Looking forward to this run, it’s a simple loop, with some nice scenic roads, not too technical.
Because it’s not a holiday weekend grocery stores will be open, making it convenient to get supplies on the day before getting to the campsite.
Below is the site I had at Chutes provincial park, two weeks ago when I went up north to pick up my sidecar rig. It was great for hanging, it’s available for the Sunday night.

Looking forward to this pre-ONStoc loop.
Jim (Stomp) from Maine is my wingman. We are both booked on the ferry. This year I'm going to motel it - Jim too. Staying in lovely downtown Providence Bay, then Dunlop Lake Lodge (near Mississagi Provincial Park) and the Massey Motel on Sunday night.
Thursday night I'm looking at the Sauble Lodge.
Apparently we might see you in town? Chat soon.
