One more day from mount forest to Duram or is it done you think? 

Spent the day around there. It was the best I've seen it in a long time. Even the roads were good.

 

B111 was wide and flat and firm.

 

Had lunch at The Homesteader with lots of other sledders. Finish lunch at 2pm and headed south. Fields were still good, bush trails are brown south of Teviotdale unless you hit the less traveled ones. Lots of bare spots, washboard and highbanked corners as we neared Arthur where we parked the truck.

 

I'd say the snow cover will be fine tomorrow around Durham.

They may be trying to save a decent frozen snow base.

If the base gets torn up by sleds and exposes the ground to the sun, it's game over, even if it snows at this time of year. Especially on winter wheat.

That's a hard stop for us. We can not afford to destroy land owners crops and wreck that relationship.

It's warm and sunny where I am.

 

Our groomer went out and did 18 hours straight, yesterday/today. The temperatures dictated the best time to go.

Two operators, two different grooming areas as our next door club's groomer has been down for over a week. 

We've been sharing one groomer, and it's been used to the max for this past week by both groomer coordinators. think it's been out over 100 hrs in 7 days.

One club takes it out for a run, comes back here for fuel, maybe a short stop, and back out it goes.

This is only possible thanks to the volunteers, and that we both have almost identical Prinoth Huskys and mogul master drags. No one needed to be brought up to speed on the setup.

We've even been doing each others trails when an operator had extra time and it made sense. Been doing that all year.

My club's president and groomer coordinator is a champ. Brought all of the operators on a group text chain. A first for us. It works way better than phone calls.

We all know the status of the machine, where it's at, what it's doing, who is in it next and what we can/should be doing so someone can step up.

She is a rock star.

The old boy's club is now the young woman's club and we are much better for it.

Vooodooo! You just made my week!
Also, I’m going to start calling you VoooDooo in real life.

I know, I know, witness protection or a spy is my current line of thinking on you. Thanks for the kind words but I'm older than you think, just super freakin' short and adorable, haha.

 

Here are some good deeds (before and after pics) from vooodooo's last shift.

Now, if we can only get the townships on board with us pushing back the snowbank and smoothing the normally untraveled portion, we'd have less road scratching.

I was doing that, well I thought. So well, cars and even a snow plow got off the road and sucked into the ditch.

We got advised to no longer do such.

IMO it keeps snowmobiles off the road. No interaction between cars and snowmobiles.  Saves lives.

Talk to your town people. We should not be punished for bad drivers.

Don't mention me or my township lol.

I've done some stuff for the club (1st year off exec after 6 years) & always told them that I'd rather not be mentioned in any comments. I'm helping out to help the sport, not to see my name out there. 

 

I saw enough during my executive stint back in the 80s & 90s of folks that did very little but were there for the photos.
