Did a Mennonite buy old club house property. When I went by last weekend, they had stalls outside to tie horses too.? 
 

 

I believe he is Mennonite but not horse and buggy type.

We just came back from checking our trail system. The low level bridge near the old clubhouse is impassible due to a number of bery large chunks of ice on the bridge. As well we came across trail base washouts one of which was appro24" wide and 18"deep so I don't see our trails being open as the groomer is apparently not going out.

 

Hmmm...lol

 

I didn't have much hope for anything below Conestoga Lake. Every time I refresh my data I see more clubs reopening though.

looks like Alma, Conestoga Lake and Palmerston are yellow this morning. 

My season is done.

syrup festival is next Saturday!!!

Ya, couple of false starts to spring this year. Looks like another week of low temps before spring takes hold.

 

The snow made for some good deer pictures though.

LOL, I've got a drift higher than the snow fence on the house side of it and green grass showing beside the drift.  This is going to make finishing up trail work interesting. Our club is down to 2 fields to stake thanks to a handful of volunteers, waiting for them to get plowed. No landlevelling done on our club trails that I know of. Not sure if any surrounding clubs got levelling done or not.

[Sledguy74]

I know there is a lot of work and appreciation to all the volunteers and land owners 

just nice to see the white stuff again 

[coldfinger]

Maryhill area has had some land levelling done thankfully . My neighbor plows down to the clay , trail crosses 4 of his and his brothers fields . I have a short reroute to do, l figured no problem . Until l got to the old fence line dang ,rocks, stumps, trees, wood and steel fence post ,wire box fencing, barb wire, oh did l mention half buried box springs . Hoping that box of motivation l ordered from Amazon arrives soon .

Apparently there is sign saying Piper Arms is in fact coming to Crossroads, I didn't see the sign yet but its what I've been told 

[Sledguy74]

Conestoga lake is yellow again 

was wishing for more snow today lol 

let hope the rain forecast later in the week doesn’t show up 

[Sledguy74]

Despite the weather networks inaccuracy I still get excited about the possibility of our area getting 10-20 cms through New Year’s Day 

one would think after all the years of disappointment with forecasts I’d lose my enthusiasm but my passion for a day on the trails keeps me hopeful lol 

[Sledguy74]

Well winter delivered again for us in the south 

hope the trails get to open up for the weekend and we get more snow 

[Sledguy74]

Woke up to blue skies and a few cms of fluff to clean up

now cloudy and snowing again

heard OPP pulled plow off roads in Wellington county due to poor weather 

lake Conestogo yellow again today 

things starting to open up

Nice where you go today? I hope to give it a whirl tomorrow 

[coldfinger]

Trails were get used , not abused ,   around Maryhill, Ariss , Elora . Must have been ladies day , lots of ponytails showing .  I don,t look for permits anymore . No enforcement so what's the point in getting worked up. I do like shaming the dickheads that ride off trail .

Would you be able to recomend a parking spot near Elmira, Ariss  or Waterloo? Previously used the Rod and Gun Club, but dont see it on the map Thanks
