The money from your trail permit is used for grooming trails
and to help with the cost of equipment. Grants are applied for
when special projects are needed like a new bridge or parking area
for example. Clubs also raise money through memberships, donations
and fund raising. There is a lot for local clubs to deal with to keep
the trails open for us. Here in Seney they have used some of their funds to
clear part of trail 43 south of Fox River Road. No stumps, big bumps or rocks to
break your sled or the groomer. The Seney club also has recently open a new staging area north
of town, added two new trails and a new bridge over the Fox River. They do go above and beyond.
We headed back after reaching
trail 8
and noticed a beaver dam off trail 43 that may also need to be dealt with
as it has water levels high along the old railroad grade. It was getting late
afternoon now so back to town for food sounded good to all. With help we would
finish up the following day.
