There was a meeting last night and a lot of info...
All trails are actively being groomed. 422 Castle trail is going to be packed in this Sunday in the swamp by the John Deer. (colder temps expected)
All have been really busy working out the kinks with the new groomer and operators. Also trail rerouting.
Hiawathaland Trail Association the parent organization which has come in and is getting every thing in order. They bring a lot of experience to the table.

Alger Sorva is the new club name in Munising. It was previously just for ORV but now is "Snowmobile ORV Association"
This is the club that people should be joining if they want to get involved.

Regular grooming reports will be set up soon. The process is currently being worked out.
This is the idea we have on the table now....
Set up a google voice phone number that groomers call in to.
The voicemail is accessible just like gmail interface. You can listen to them plus it transcribes the messages.
At the end of a groomer operators shift they will call in to report what time the started, what their route was, when the finished, and general condition reports which would include hazards - issues with trail.
Summarized report will be posted on the club web site every morning.
Possibly more during weekend.
Any ideas - recommendations are appreciated.
Would be interested to hear how other clubs do this if they do at all.
Most reports for trail conditions do not seem to come from groomers and are not accurate or consistent.
Over all nothing but good things for snowmobile and orv riders in the Munising area. Believe that it is not the same whooped out trail system.
These changes were needed big time and I personally think the trail systems around here are in good hands.
