Redfire427 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I know everyone is getting excited to get out on the trails with their snow scooters, myself included, so I chose to contact my local club and volunteer my time ( and my buddy Mike ) to clear the debris off the trails from all the fallen trees from 2 windstorms and the first heavy snowfall which created a mess. I can tell you, the D trail is a mess. Our progress was made 100 feet at a time. We worked all day Saturday ( Nov 17 ) and exhausted ourselves. It is a labour of love, but there is sooooooo much more clearing to be done. Anyways, here are a few photos I shot along the way of our adventure.

Redfire427 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 I got out again clearing the trails on Saturday before the big rains came. The snow was deep and there was plenty of clearing to be done. Please contact your local clubs to see if they could use some extra help in getting things set-up for the coming season. Every little bit helps. I know the Huntsville area will need a lot of volunteers as there are so many trees down from the first snowfall. Anyways, here are a few photos from my adventure.

Crow Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 As a volunteer in my area, I appreciate your efforts Carmen. Good job! Looks like you're out there alone in the last pics. Be careful, even the most experienced saw operators get into trouble. Nice saw by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskoka_Mike Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Thanks guys for all your work. I do spend a lot of time on those trails during the winter, and your hard work is very much appreciated. I do have a question regarding the D trail through Aspdin. I noticed the other day that the D trail crossing Aspdin road has turned into a driveway for a house that is being built beside the trail. Does the club still have access to the crossing, or are they working on a reroute. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it will turn into a short road run and then contiue as normal. I guess we will find out soon. Carmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve F6 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 We still got some water running on the east side of port sydney. I ventured out on foot from clearwater lake heading south on saturday, trimmed back what i could. Covered 3 km probably. As u can see we need a good foot of snow and cold first before the fun can begin. Also walked in on west side from south lancelot on D heading north about 2km. Trimmed back what i could with the loppers but theres some big trees down in this section and water underneath the 1.5 ft snow in the low lying sections. Tough go on foot. Needed a long track and a chain saw. On a positive note, Mary lake had a skim of ice on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
