So Nutter what I read in your post was about a financial burden on other clubs.   District is given X dollars for trails.   The money is divided equally among clubs!   This does not include grooming.   if 10 clubs each club receives X/10 If 12 clubs each club receives X/12   So a club with 75km gets more per km than a club with 275km?   Is this correct?

LOL - seen a few abandoned things in the bush up north over the years!   For some reason this made me remember that crazy video of a couple guys in the US I think that ended up going down a large hill into a frozen lake on a groomer, almost died, the recovery, etc.... Might have been a link to the video on here. 

A buddy and I were just recently up into the park boundary north of Whitney and Madawaska. No cell service there. Used the app that Rodger’s has now for satellite texting. Worked really well..was good to practice aim at the satellite and acquire signal. It’s currently free on Rodger’s cell plan. Just FYI. 

Thanks Nutter, by the sounds of it patience is needed. 

This all reminds me of some of the things I heard about that happened back in the day before a lot of red tape. I don't member the club but it was one of the gap filling clubs between Thunder Bay and Geraldton, and Marathon to Nipigon. One of those clubs started to implode for what ever reason, and the following season a few guys got together and decided to take over things. They made it to somewhere just north of Dorion and slid a year old BR 180 off an abandon rail trail into swamp and walked away from it all, apparently that unit is still sitting in the bush.
