Thanks, snobuilder, the article was very interesting. And to think from
those beginnings sprang the hundreds and hundreds of trails we have
for use today.

Nice article, have never viewed it; thank you.
Ironically, after riding for the past 20 years in that area and points in all directions (riding a total of 40+) I have yet to ride the entire 100 miles but rather only use bits and pieces as a throughway to other trails. I have considered riding the 100 miles but it is marked a bit on the light side and getting off trail and onto another is quite easy.
Great story though as it was quite a risk and hard work as the area has great wooded areas.

I believe the 100 miler is around 160 miles.
It can be confusing due to The LMT Club's trails are mixed in the same area.

Thanks snobuilder, I had never before seen this. Very good to see how themselves organizing to accomplish the Safari snowmobile trail, and the beginnings of the Wis. state trail system we know today. Other areas of the state were doing so also I believe, but with no history of it documented???

It is very interesting. I printed it off to share at the next club meeting, I'm sure others in my club will enjoy it too.

You guys are awesome.
I had the same feeling when i read it.
We owe a lot of respect to the business owners who were bright enough to see the winter tourism market that could be expanded through this new phenomenon called snowmobiling!
