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.

As for the rest of this, I appreciate this side of the coin, may not always like it in life generally, but there are processes, policies, etc...put in place as safety nets, avoid exposure, law suits, liabilities, and so on......

Everything's mashed potatoes here right now, some cold and fresh snow will bring it right back. Maybe ok tomorrow, but I'm thinking it will defiantly be good again by Friday.
