For those that don't follow Facebook, here's the first and hopefully many updates on their trek across North America in the coming days and weeks.

The route?!?!
One of the most common questions we’ve received is about the route that the 3 Old Guys intend to take on their expedition east. To some degree, we’ve been intentionally quiet on this topic… route planning has been in the works for well over a year, but given the unpredictable snow conditions, the actual trek remains flexible and will adapt as needed, so we’ve avoided publishing an official map.
Rest assured, there’s a plan, a backup plan, and backups to those backups. That said, here’s a general idea of where the 3 Old Guys expect to travel: The team will set out from Grand Rapids, Minnesota, traveling through Wisconsin and following along the southern shore of Lake Superior. From there, they’ll cross into Ontario, continue through Quebec, and—if all goes according to plan—follow the Gulf to Labrador before taking the ferry to Newfoundland.
The ultimate goal? To journey as far east across North America as possible! Ideally, they’ll reach the coast, and Newfoundland, but with ever-changing snow conditions, they’re ready to adapt as needed and, most importantly, enjoy the adventure.
One last (important) note …with an estimated 4,000 miles to cover in (hopefully) just three to four weeks, the Guys will be pushing hard every day. We’ve received countless invitations to stop by, visit snowmobile clubs, and connect with great partners. These visits are always a highlight—allowing us to learn from communities and build lasting friendships—but we’ll also be focused on keeping up the pace and covering as much ground as possible. So, if we have to keep a visit brief or ride on by with just a wave, don’t be dismayed. Your encouragement and support fuel our passion for adventure, and we appreciate every bit of it along the way!
