Looking at the map today - based on what is red - seems our club looks to have survived quite well - some gaps still as the map evolves - but conditions permitting - from where we are located for our starting point, we still have 2 great ways to access north - then east/west from there, south - looks like 1 way for now - but we'll see as things progress.         

I believe the real challenge in terrain was west of marathon which never re-opened after dist 16 folded.  Regardless this is a good development.  Wonder how far it is from Dubreville to White River.

Well, hopefully they left the trail signs up, and if someone lays first tracks, hopefully they can ride that leg just as a "Wilderness Trail". I heven't been through there in many years. So IDK if there is many areas in there for sapplings to fall in or not anymore? I don't think there is much challenging terrain in there tho - is there?   They may have moved the trail from White River to Marathon sometime over the years, but that was BIG terrain in there! There is litterally winch posts that they use(d?) to winch the groomers up/over, and then right back down to cross a swamp.  I think (?) that was on the east side of Marathon? I know it was Marathon's system, and it seems it was on the east side?   Point being tho, it would seem to me that it would take a LOT more to keep the trail open from White River to Marathon, than between Dubreuil and White River?   ???     .

Agree completely 

I would hope the nominal difference between the early bird and full season would not be a detractor. We're talking a case of beer here.
