October's here

The leaves are turning colour and the geese have headed south.  It's time to start getting ready for the upcoming snowmobile season. 

The Moose Lake Trail - L186 - reroute is finished except for signage.  I can't wait to get out and give it a try, but alas we need winter and snow first.

Our first meeting is Tuesday October 5 at the groomer shelter at 7:30 - come on out and see what we are doing this year.

4 of us attended the OFSC AGM in Collingwood.  Elvis was there and did a little singing for us.  He looked younger than I expected.  Everything is basically status quo for this year.  There won't be any infrastructure money.  Permits will be the same as last year - $200 on or before December 1 and $250 thereafter.

Ramsay Law Office will now be an outlet for Classic permits.  This year they will be $125 all year long.  Next year they will be $130 up until Dec 1 and then $180 thereafter.

According to the OFSC audit of trails with GPS we only have about 340 km of local trails.  We are going to do our audit this winter to figure out how we lost nearly 60 km of trails.

GPS map software of OFSC trails will be available this winter.  A real help in many cases.  Because we had 3 reroutes last winter they won't be correct on the maps of our trails.  The change on the A trail in Coleman, the new Moose Lake Trail, and the rerout on the Quebec trail all won't show up.

There is going to be a new online trail conditions map that will use the same data.  Going to be really cool.  Should be really up to date and we can customize it for parts of trails.
