gobills Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Maybe the club can get a local quarry to donate some fill for the spot. Thomas!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any logging in the area this winter? JAC Kernohan was in there 2014 the winter we did the RAN tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be this winter. There was some major logging going on further west last winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signfan Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'd have a little faith. That's fixable in a matter of days with the right equipment. Look at it from the clubs perspective. Why fix it early on just to risk having it happen again over the summer when they don't need it fixed should another major storm roll through. Also OFSC Grant apps just went in last week. Maybe they were applying for some assistance. Washouts like this happen more than you'd think across the snow belt. Not good, but definately something that can be repaired. Hopefully the club has been notified about it. Who knows maybe the loggers would fix it as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy a few years ago I had to cut my thru a bunch of downed trees across the trail south of Chandos to get to a friend's hunting camp. You could see where the Stoney Lake club had recently done some bulldozing work. A few miles to the west we only had 2 small dead pine trees toppled during the storm.

04nightfire Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Brent Quarries is a great place to deal with for getting that filled. I do believe they have helped out before with trail matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sksman Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Why fill it early and have ATVs and Jeep rip up the trails. Fill it last minute and less damages to worry about later. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskoka Man Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 it is the MNR that has closed this off ,im assuming a person would have to deal with them on this and we know what that means ,the loggers are all over the areas there widening the sides now in prep for winter haul i would think ,if this hole is not filled by winter it will be a big hole in the loops there ,if they do fill it soon i will stay off of it with my quad so it doesnt get ruined again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskoka Man Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 I realize my bike will not ruin the fill in but some posters here seem to think so ,but nothing new there as some think atvs are worse than a nuke spill ,another debate for another day and yes Brent is high on himself and exspensive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking Port Carling is a bit away regardless of your thoughts on the business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskoka Man Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Yes trucking fill and the machines from port Carling would be crazy although it seems clubs in the area use him for bridge installs,backfill around them ,he did the bridge on D trail just south of port Sydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there still a contractor along the highway where the groomer sat across from Spring Lake Resort (25 years ago we would pass it on the way to the Boiler room LOL).

There is a pit south of Dwight (west side of 35). I think the name is 3 letters. I think Thomas is the contractor in Canarvon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowchopper Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 There is a quarry on 60 near where the MTO does pop up inspections just east of Huntsville called MacFaddens. I might have spelled it wrong. Maybe Mcfaddens. Like others have posted club should maybe ask local quarry's for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutter Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Looks a bit more involved than just filling it, likely MNR and township permits, and possibly a new culvert along with shoring on both sides. I would imagine both clubs and the landowners needing the road allowance for access have been working on it since it happened in the spring. Hopefully it gets repaired soon.
