Where the trail meets the haul road may or may not be posted with stop signs (reason for delay in trail being posted open) but the road is VERY active. Most of the trail is in good shape but some brush in spots. North of Hornepayne should be in great shape, was good a week ago and has been groomed since.

Canuck Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks Matt. Great info. There was a discussion some time ago about how the Red - Yellow - Green was implemented because terms such as (for example) "closed at the purple shack" had lititle meaning to non-locals. I liked the old way - written information is best . Thanks again matt17. "Have an eye, a couple of the creek crossings north of the Kaby are going to be rough.

When you come to the stop sign lift your visor and look for the white directional arrow pointing towards the log cabin. Don't go that Way, the arrow was stolen by cousin Bob's nephew... He's a lawyer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
