Yep, when we stopped @ the Rousseau Bar there were 2 guys that had just received tickets. I believe they were somewhere between $100 - $200 so not cheap. Ran into the same scenario while trying to take a fire road off of trail #13 down to Bergland. Wife & I got a couple of miles down the FR when there was another no snowmobile sign so we had to turn around. Hopefully this year those 2 routes will be open to sleds once again.

Wasn’t this the same washout there was a few years ago and they had a real nice reroute? I could be mistaken but seems to be that is the same washout! And also I thought you could run any unplowed FS Road?

Not if loggers say no sleds are out. Be respectful to logging operations.

If an area is being logged and the road plowed, the logging company will put up "no snowmobiles" for the safety of all.

Not in Vilas county. They just put up caution signs. Last year, I came around a blind sweeping corner at a fairly high rate of speed and came face to face with a logging company's plow truck. Was barely able to get past it by banking off the snowbank. My knees were shaking for quite some time after. Lesson learned.

For the Ottawa National Forest any plowed forest road is off limits whether it's signed or not. Here is a quote from the Ottawa "Snowmobiles are prohibited in designated wildernesses, Sylvania Perimeter Area, and on plowed Forest System Roads."

I do believe there is a re-route in the works using part of the OC ORV Route

No, the last one was south of Bear's Den lookout, this one is north of the lookout.
