I saw the two extremes of snowmobiler support yesterday while riding.
On the Tomorrow River Trail about 5 miles west of Manawa, there is a guy who obviously hates the fact his driveway has to cross the trail, and that sleds go by his house. He has big gates, and signage all along his property. Sad part his he took the liberty to use his bobcat to make a birm of snow along his driveway right where the trail crosses it about 18-24" high. High enough, that if you hit it at 50+ (Its a rail bed, highly possible) it would probably throw you off if you weren't ready for it. I made a few passes back and forth on it, and spun the pile down to little or nothing.
Then, riding from Rosholt to "Morning Wood" for lunch, there was a guy out there SHOVELING snow onto the trail by his driveway on a road crossing where the snow had been burned off from the warm weather. Not just 6-10 feet, but more like a 20-30 foot stretch on both sides! Stopped to thank that guy!
Amazing the extremes you see out there.
