RANT TIME.

UPDATE.  Not 1 sled get stuck, but 3 sleds, and a side by side trying to recover a sled.  Its no wonder trails get closed.

This sign is not a suggestion.  It means closed.  In this case it's because of 3 ft of water over the trail, and flowing water over bridges.

Yesterday we got a call from an upset landowner.  Someone got stuck on the closed trail, and decided it would be a good idea to drive a jeep down the trail to recover the sled.  This is private property.  OPP were called.  Charges were laid.  

If we are unable to satisfy this landowner, we will have to reroute the trail.  Requiring 6 km of road running to bypass his properties.

This morning, on the way by, a side by side is stuck in the same spot.  

Trails are closed for a reason.  Stay off closed trails.

No one wants 6 km of road running.

Some self entitled snowmobiler ruined the end of an awesome season for our club and volunteers.  Without landowners  we will not have a trail system.

Do better, and to those who obey the signs, and IATG, thank you.  1 person can ( and did) ruin it for us all.

Sadly a sign of our times.....the entitled.....

Hopefully this knucklehead will tell this knucklehead buddies and they all learn from it.......highly doubt it though

 

You see similar problems everywhere, people will not hold a door for you, or if you do for them you seldom hear Thank You....or the FT's that walk 2 or 3 abreast on the sidewalk and won't move an inch so you could pass going the opposite way.

 

I hope you can appease the landowner once more

Omg sorry Dave. We had a great time on trails today and we checked guide before we left and when I wasn't sure if trail open or not I double check. Not real hard to stay off red sections. Hopefully few don't ruin it for everyone. When I rode today there wasn't any obvious tracks on red sections most traffic is obeying and have phones to verify as you ride.

The worst part.

 

It was a local who should have known, and used to rent a house on the next farm over from the pissed off landowner.

It's typically always a local doing stuff like this. On our staked fields the people cutting across aren't the weekend riders passing through. 

 

What a crappy way to end the season. Good luck with the landowner.
