Another season another great thread to start! As usual I will get it rolling for us and throw a few words out to get us started for the year. This year has been a tough start to the year for our club in East Troy/ Walworth county. We have a few trail reroutes we are working on currently due to some past issues from last year. We also have quite a few fields where we are waiting on crops to come off the fields still. October was a very wet month for us so many of the fields that are usually harvested and already chisel plowed still have standing crops on them. So we are at least a couple weeks away from getting trails put in. Some of the area clubs have started but many of them are in the same situation as us. We also have added a few miles of trails to our responsibility this year due to one of the Walworth clubs closing up shop due to lack of volunteers and membership. I cannot stress enough how important it is to join a club down here and help out if you can. Many of our local clubs have older and tired members, some that do not even snowmobile anymore but still manage to help out. (Special Thanks to them!) All of our clubs are in need of new young blood to step up and come in and help out. If you like to ride in SE WI when we can join one of the local clubs and try to help out! We have the land in the area for trails and it is a nice option to ride down here when we actually have the snow. If you are wondering how to join a club here is a link to the Walworth County Snowmobile Alliance I am the Vice President and in charge of Membership for the East Troy Snow Trojans who belongs to the Walworth County Snowmobile Alliance. Other surrounding counties mentioned in the title have similar alliances set up for management of their clubs. But here is the link to our alliance: http://www.walworthcountysnow.com/home.html
Other than that we are all systems go as soon as the crops are off the fields and the fields that need to be chisel plowed get plowed. It appears most of the other clubs have the same status. It looks like this week we might get our first actual snow fall perhaps. We are actually hoping this holds off as well as the rain as we would really like to see the farmers get out and do their thing. As always we are shooting for getting our trails in by the end of the month. We will see if that happens this year or not.
Looking forward to hopefully a good year and if anything good conversation on here with fellow snowmobile folk interested in our area.
