? Trail Closure

[onlypolar4me]

Does anyone know what the deal is with trail 8 being closed west of the 8&5 junction east of Champion?
We came through there Friday and ended up going south and west through Amasa and back up to Sidnaw fortunately didn't run out of snow but close.
Hadn't been that way in a couple years so maybe it has been closed for a while.

There is a bridge out. It is supposed to be fixed by the end of the month.

I think they are replacing a bridge.

We went through there this weekend, and they are working on the bridge.

So, were you able to get around it, or did you take a big detour, or just turn around? I didn't mind our detour but was afraid we'd run out of snow going south

We took the trail up to the bridge and then went through the swamp around the bridge. We were running late in the day and needed to get west, and this was the best option. There is no grooming right now, but the locals had been going this way..... no problem getting through, just bumpy...
