TRAIL REPORT

(Check out our updated trail photos.)

  

Our trails are closed for the season.  Gates have been closed and locked.  The 2007-2008 snowmobile season was one of the best in years!

And now it's time to say thanks to all who helped with trail maintenance and grooming, to all who joined a club to support the sport, and most importantly, to all the landowers for letting us recreate on their land.  Many thanks to everyone!!

We'll all be looking forward to another great season of snowmobiling in 2008-2009! 

 

  
 
   
   

1/23/08 - Thanks to Nichols Brothers, the groomer went into their garage to melt off the snow in preparation for repair work.  Volunteers Tom Reed, Gene Knox, and Fern Dumoulin replaced an idler wheel and a bent shaft.  They also repaired the left flasher on the front of the groomer.

Removing the idler wheel and shaft.
The old idler wheel ....
... and its replacement.

 

This bent shaft caused the loss

of the rubber on the idler wheel.

 

 

 

Tom and Gene work on the flasher.

The work is done and the Tucker is ready to for the trails once again.

Here's the volunteer pit crew:  Bob Stickney, Gene Knox, Tom Reed, and Fern Dumoulin.  Also involved in this team effort, but not available for the photo opp, were Rob Cameron, Dan Stearns, Chris Dickson, and Paul Pelletier.  Thanks a lot guys!!!
