TrailReport: Yes, the guys have been meeting at the groomer garage every Saturday for the past month or so, decide what trails to focus on and go from there. Some volunteers have even brought their own equipment from as far away as Syracuse,(pure dedication) and greatly appreciated. Paul will probably have more info once he sees this blog.

TrailReport: As another snowmobile season approaches I would like to remind everyone about this particular sign. STAY ON THE TRAIL OR STAY HOME. I estimate that 90 percent of the landowners that allow trails on their property had to be convinced to do so. This convincing may include begging,groveling, and making promises by all of the clubs.All it takes is one person trespassing to shut down a trail. Clubs spend MILLIONS of dollars to cut and groom trails so please stay on them. Thank you to all and have fun this season.

TrailReport: Although we all love the white stuff, the last snowfall was of the heavy wet version. The trees on Tug Hill enjoy the lite fluffy lake affect that we usually recieve and did not fair well with this heavy stuff. Quite a few trees have come down across the trails but with a lot of hard work we have managed to open things up.We will begin tree trimming and tons of other work during the Saturday work details.

TrailReport: The last day of hunting season is not exactly cut and dry, let me explain. All of Tug Hill is in NYS DEC Northern Zone. The last day of regular and bow deer hunting ends on sun down Dec 7th. Now within the Northern Zone and the Tug Hill Plateau there is Zone 6G, 6H & 6C bacisly anywhere North of Rt 177. In that area there is a late muzzle loader hunting season and that ends on Dec 14th. So no runs to Copenhagen or Carthage before the night of Dec 14th. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/28604.html

TrailReport: Can anyone confirm the exact date that the trails will open?

TrailReport: Technically, you can ride the public seasonal roads any time of the year. Private land is only open after hunting season ends till the begining of April. The big problem is most people do not know what is public land and what is private land. I would like to suggest Nobody ride till the end of hunting season. That will avoid ticking any land owners off and the possibility of us or another club loosing any trail(s).

TrailReport: I got to camp ( northernchateau ) this afternoon. Had to hike in from the street thru knee deep snow. The computer booted and loaded the web cams perfectly. I have some fine tuning and window cleaning to do over the next few weeks so there might be a short lapse in the action. There is at least 2 FEET on the ground still and it is like 50 degs. The weather station is still in Californis @ Davis being repaired and as soon as it gets back I will get it back up and running. In the mean time break out the turtle wax and get your sled(s) polished.

TrailReport: Quick Update. 1. Our club web hosting service did a hardware/software upgrade over the weekend. On the positive side it is more secure, blocks spam better and has a lot of nice feature that will help make my job as webmaster easier long term. On the down side it they are having some issues so right now my club e-mail is wacky and some pages might not load correctly. If you tried to e-mail me and had it returned please wait till I post on here that it has been cleared up. 2. We are working on getting the vouchers out to people that have used paypal or sent in a check. 3. My computer and weather station @ the Northernchateau had a very bad day and I am presently putting a new mother board in the computer so I can debug it and get it back up and running as soon as possible.

Now I have to do some serious web site updates and switch gears from drag racing to snowmobiles. Yesterday it was a methanol dragster and tomorrow it will be a turbo diesel groomer. Thru out the month I will be doing update snd posting our new events schedule.
