QUESTION???
If we were to close the cabin at Renshaw for 2-3 hours on Thurs. to install a new floor, would that be a big incon. for anybody? Not sure if we can get the plywood up for that day, but we are trying for Thurs.

:rant:Don't worry about that...heck if i come up early i'll even help ya...
Besides it wont be too cold out side for everybody anyhow..:twocents:

If your willing to fix the floor for us, then who am I to say when you can and cannot do it, I think its awsome that you are doing this extra work just so the rest of us can enjoy it.

Hey, if your up there with a hammer and nails doing the floor, see if you can pound in more nails for hangin up jackets and packs around the walls, and perhaps a board with several nails in it over the heater for gloves and goggles. I'll make you a deal, if I go up there and see a "Custom glove and goggle rack" between the helmut rack and the heater, I'll find your B & B and drop off some xmas cheer (in january).

In fact, I challenge all Snow and Mud viewers that read this to find out where Barry's B & B is, and bring him some xmas cheer for all his hard work, AND THATS VOLUNTEER WORK IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING.

Hope you like crown Barry

:nono::realmad: My folks live up there and in the summers we head up Lucille and bell and do clean up there, people sit and complain that we lose riding areas, if they would start cleaning up after themselves and start respecting the areas by packing out their garbage and broken parts of their sleds it would help out. It's frustrating seeing the work the local clubs do to keep areas open and safe and the upkeep of the cabins every year just to see some jack wad come up for a weekend and destroy it. Kudos to the Mcbride and valemont clubs and the volunteers that go up and help out. You guys do an awesome job. Keep up the good work.

You took the words out of my mouth. Too many idiots try to ruin it for the rest of us volunteers that work hard to keep the trails and cabins in good condition for others & their families. It's very easy to pack ot what you pack in.

Was at Lucille this weekend and also noticed that cabin is full of garbage, smells like liquor and the heater was way out of commision. It's kind of sad that some people have to ruin the cabin for the people who wanna warm up for five minutes and come out smelling like alcoholics, are still cold, and have to hurdle garbage.

We were up at Lucille yesterday and cleaned up garbage and got the heater going. People---LEAVE THE HEATERS ALONE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Already the thermostat is torn apart, the heater was dismantled. You just make our job harder by doing what you did. Working fine when we left, will be back up Thurs. with more propane. If you find something that is not to your liking please tell Ride N Hide or come to my house and we will fix it.

You need to get one of those plastic boxes over the thermostat of they can`t take it apart.

Do you really think a little plastic box over the thermostat will last more than a day, i've seen the whole friggin heater nearly torn off the wall.

This may be a stupid question, but who bought the warm up cabins and stocks the propane, there is always propane up there and I've never paid for it. We do buy our trial passes, but I thought that was just for the groomer??.

I guess it seems like alot of time and money goes into making these areas more user friendly, and all I have to do is pay for a trail pass. (and a sled, and a truck, and a trailer, some gas, and diesel, and a room, some food, and a bit of booze). hmmmm,....... DON'T DO THE MATH !!!! you'll never go sledding again !!!!!

But seriously, some one is paying for those shacks and the propane. And how the hell do you get a 180lb propane bottle up 30kms of wooped out trail, that doesn't sound like a fun day of sledding.

Thanks again who ever does all this, I know our group REALLY appreciates and respects all the effort you put in.
