Same as our area where snow brought down many !

Trails have been good this year, less the ohv/ fire ban that limited units from out West. Camp sites look clean too.

Big thx too all that put in the effort to keep the dream alive.

More then ever do we need gooder stewart-ship.

Pal 1 of many !

Helps to have a good chain saw and quick release holder for it. I need to pick up a good chainsaw Jerry can soon. All the new ones are kinda big.

Yup chainsaw work needs done in the area I usually ride this weekend. It would be nice to have some type of quick release holder though. It gets bounced around pretty good in the bed and often leaks a bit inside the case.

I wish they made a chainsaw mount that used "mountain addiction" rails. Then I could take the saw in the winter and summer

That is easy to build. Buy the big bag. Take the top cover off. Make a slot for the blade to slide out and bungy the saw down.

one guy we ride with has the small sthil one handed saw and uses a milk crate mounted on the front rack with a slot for the bar cut into with one little bungey cord works great and takes
2 seconds to get the saw out of the crate the crate also holds the gas and bar oil ( he uses the plastic camping fuel bottles )

the first one is 50 ft long and 5 feet up off the creek it was a little wobbly so we had to cross brace the underside to firm it up

Was at a SSRP meeting today dealing with Recreation Management. All I can say is the Motorized world is going to change. Some will be OK others will not. The "Wild and Free Alberta" is coming to a end. Some say way overdue others do not see the need. Time will tell how it all turns out. Enjoy it while you can out there

Thanks. This a real eye opener process. The government wants to help and are going to help but we will see to what level. Thanks to hard working clubs like Quad Squad and Calgary ATV riders just to mention a couple the government sees the interest in clubs to improve and change the way we all OHV out in the backcountry.

They did make some nice new trails at rig street.

And the trash bins are great that are being donated
