Trail Work
Hello all
Hopefully the rain doesn't beat us up too badly this afternoon.
We had about 10 volunteers out on Saturday to stake the Thornloe and Belle Vallee trails. We also finished up some staking behind the groomer shelter.
The A trail south of Cobalt is being a problem this year. There is water on the trail on a spot that the groomer cannot bypass easily. The groomer keeps breaking through the ice and leaves the trail nearly impassable. Richard also says it isn't much fun either. We are still hoping to open the A trail south to Temagami on Wednesday, the Quebec trail the day after and mark the lakes.
Regular grooming will start as well.
The reroute around Radley's Hill road extension through John Wilson's property is very nice.
Some of the trails are a little brushy but we intend to start brushing next week once the trails are nice and smooth.
On Saturday I stopped 4 people without trail passes. We sent them back from where they were coming to get off the trails at the nearest intersection. In case someone asks, going fishing is not a reasonable excuse to be on the trails. Fishing is only an excuse if it is the only way to get to the lake you are fishing at - if you can trailer closer then you cannot ride the trails. Since John's Tackle Box is right at Lake Temiskaming the trails are not to be used to access the lake.

We are still looking for a groomer operator in Latchford in case you know someone. They must have a vaild G class licence to drive the groomer.
