schmied Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Stopped for lunch and gas and noticed a sign that said "Trail Maps Available" Since I was using a black and white printout from the ITG, I thought I'd upgrade. The friendly gas pump attendant told me I could look at one for free or buy one for a dollar. Just wondering if this is common practice as I've never paid for one before or if it's either fundraising for the club or fundraising for the guy behind the counter. The $1 isn't going to break the bank, no worries there, just wondered if there are any guidelines or rules about the maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I paid for maps in the 80's. Not recently. Don't think the Vendor pays for them so ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Only time you should be paying for a map is when postage is involved. Maps should be free, if you choose to make a Donation that should be left up to you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbakernbay Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 District 11 Trail Maps are Free but not mailed out. We place them in boxes at 9 major intersections. Some Clubs have their own Trail Maps, some may charge others are free as they have Advertisers who want them circulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I say contact the club directly and find out for sure. Maybe that attendant is pocketing that cash for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAM Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Haliburton Club pays for the production of our maps with advertising sponsorship. All of our sponsors have maps to give out for free. While at one of our sponsors, please thank them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Two or three winters ago, in late march or very early April, I got a local trail map from the convenience store beside Rickward's Polaris in Kearney. The clerk told me the trail maps were normally sold for two bucks, but she wasn't going to charge me because the season was over. The next winter I got an updated map from the same place, and I believe it was free. It all seemed pretty legitimate to me. I think I was told that the club charged a small fee in the past, but had decided not to bother any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pt3189 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I am a snowmobiler who happens to own a restaurant on the trail. Someone from the club usually drops off a bundle every winter no charge ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reved Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I though there was a time when a donation jar was put out and a $2 donation was asked for. I believe some of the order maps had a price on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
