They are planning on doing brushing and signage this saturday jan 28th. Anyone that can lend a hand that would be great as there are only four of us at this time.

Viperules700 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Is this the section that an atv caused to close awhile back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old sledhead Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes it is the club has to change the trail totaly lots more land owners to deal with. We wanted to get the work done on private land as we are waiting on M.N.R work permits to arrive, we have been approved. But this is not looking good our work party is now down to 3 and thats made up of our 3 groomer operators that all have runs to do this week yet.

Viperules700 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 That is brutal. Seems local riders don't want to help for a day or two. It Is a real problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old sledhead Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Here is a bit of a update. We had everything ready to go then had more landowner issues we now have that all worked out . Brushing is for the most part done we took the groomer part way through but now we need to install a culvert in a ditch to get though, we have to complete signage and the good people from the griffith club will link up with us . Looks like this trail will soon open but for now is still closed till all work is done . This project has taken over 7 months to fix and was done mostly by one man Doug McDonald owner of McDonald fuels in eganville who no longer snowmobiles( good thing to busy working to keeping trails open) so if you are from the area please thank him with out people like this we would not have trails in our area.
