We are starting to clear the trails on Saturday Dec. 8, 2018 to clear our trails. I need positive commitments for that day and every day  there after to ride with me to get the trails open. Some have asked if they can use their sleds, I do not have an answer other than if you are there with the tucker or if you have a chain saw that shows some usage I do not think any one will bother you. That is my thought only! This is not and early pass to ride your sled. I really need to hear from you.  Contact me at 779-5228-cell or 775-3406-work. Getting your trails open by December 16th depends on your help! read more

We were out clearing the trail to the groomer shed this morning. Mike Stewart, Barry Alger and my self were there. There were several trees down and some brush that needed cutting. At this point I think all of our trails have been checked. I want to thank Barry and Mike for their help! Oh I almost forgot the fact that it was spitting snow up there this morning. Maybe it is a sign?

The trail is all done. I debrushed it last Saturday, it was a spur of the moment thing where I had a little time so I could not ask for help. The trail looks really nice and will be a big improvement to what we had.

Sunday Dave was out repairing waterbars on 4&7 on Howe’s and Gagnon’s properties. Bill and I were there checking the trail clearing down trees. We went all the way to the Highway Garage.  read more

We will be working on the “Arthur Trail” on Sunday the 21st. We will be starting at 8:00 am on the Tin Shanty Road end. Any one that wants to park at the groomer shed and ride up meet at 7:30 am at the groomer shed. There will be transportation to go back up and get your vehicle if you park up on the Tin Shanty Road. Hope to see you there!

We had a work day today to debrush and clear trees on the two trails out of the Stone House. It only took 2 1/2 hours so that was not too bad in the rain. It is a little over 2 miles of trails. The dedicated workers were from left to right, Mike Stewart, Barry Alger, Mark Quesnel, and Adrian Sanford-Wilson, and myself. Thank you for you help! It looks like with our web guy Cliff Dutton I am able to post the photos again. The lower photos are from the work yesterday on the Girl Scout Camp relocation. Cliff did I do it right?  read more

The Rutland City Forrest section is done now. Rick and Fred Hubbard and Dave Fucci did the excavation and Bill Lohsen and myself with Dave seeded and  put hay down on the trail. When the state part is done with Rick McKirryher we will go back and do the final debrushing and signing. The trail is a major improvement over what we had! I want to thank all that has made this possible. It has been a long process, but I guess we have to be patient. read more

We will be meeting at the Stone House at 8 AM and will be debrushing the two trails out of the stone house. If any one has an ATV or UTV that would be handy to carry some gear. I have not got the engine in Dads Polaris Ranger yet so that is not useable at this time. hope to see you there!

Rick Mckirryher was hired to install water bars on our trail 407.When I left at noon on Monday he had installed 24 water bars  and he was not to the good road yet. He was making great progress though. John from the State said there were, I think, another 64 to go by the time the get to the Notch Road extension.  That trail will have a lot more up and downs until we get good snow, but as I said Rick was doing his best to round everything! read more

I have had at least one comment that people cannot see the photos in the recent post,  Ray Duquette’s 2017 Bridge Photos. I just tried it and from my end I see them fine. If any one is having problems please contact me.
