well the season is about to begin and we have a new website coming soon. Our trail will be up. Trail maybe different or smaller time will tell. If you are from the trail area and willing to help a little it would be appreciated muchly.
That's a shame that the trails keep getting smaller or re-directed. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a five year run of landowner agreements and trail consistancy so the trailheads woudn't have so much work?
Our trail is etched pretty much in stone for several years, mind you its a bit of a trot out to it, but it is a very nice system. Hopefully we'll be able to connect to AB Beach this year and then everything will be beautiful.
TYLERG: YOU GUYS HAVE IT A LOT EASIER IN STONY PLAIN THAN WE DOO OUT HERE... IN STRATHCONA COUNTY IT IS ILLEGAL TO OPERATE A QUAD, SLED, MOTORBIKE IN DITCHES ALONG ROADS ETC.... SO OUR TRAIL SYSTEM IS ONE OF PURE PERMITS ON FARMERS/BUSINESS LANDS. THIS IS AN ONGOING BATTLE(THAT WE SEEM TO BE LOOSING), TO KEEP THE TRAIL SYSTEM OPERATING. LAND CHANGES HANDS AND SUDDENLY 1 PORTION OF THE TRAIL IS STALLED AND THE TRAIL CANNOT BE USED WITHOUT PERMISSION AGAIN.... GLAD THE ELECTIONS ARE THIS YEAR, AND MAYBE SOMEONE CAN GET THE BYLAW LIFTED OR AT LEAST EASED..... SLEDDERGLEN WAS ON AN ORGANIZING COMMITEE TO GET SOME CONNECTOR TRAILS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY FOR SLEDDERS AND QUADS, BUT OF COURSE THE BEAUREAUCRAT/POLITICIANS SQUISHED THAT IDEA, NOW THERE IS SOME OTHER KIND OF PROPOSAL ON THE BOARD, BUT PERSONALLY, I DOUBT ANYTHING IS IN THE WRITING FOR SLEDDERS!!!
ZRRR HAD A GOOD LETTER THAT HE HAS SUBMITTED SEVERAL TIMES AROUND COUNTY "BRASS", SO HOPEFULLY HE SEES THIS POST AND CAN POST IT AGAIN..... AWESOME LETTER.
SLEDDERGLEN: IS THE SOUTH LAKE NOT GONNA BE OPEN THIS YEAR AROUND BUD'S LAKE???
Glenn, got your PM. We'll figure this out. Sometimes it's just a matter of tracking down the right person. I had a thought that an overhead pic showing the location and where the trail runs (did run) might be good so that they can see and maybe offer their own suggestions. Can anyone here get that?
Since I'm taking over the job that the ASA "should" be doing, does this mean I won't have to pay for trail passes this year......here we go......
MAYBE SOMETHIN' COULD BE WORKED OUT.... EH, GLENN????
