    Trail C4 is closed at intersection , Hami 14 ( C4 & C4C) . At trail closed sign make a left onto C4C to French Road. Make a right and ride shoulder of road to Detour sign ……Making a left will put you back on trail C4.
    Future changes are possible which will be posted on this forum!
    Thank You

    So, this would be a different detour than last year?

    I usually don’t make it down to Morehouse more than a few times a winter, so I don’t have much “muscle memory”.

    Thanks,

    For now riders will have to go out to French Road and ride the shoulder for a distance . The property the temporary trail went through last year was sold so we are trying to contact the new owners to see if we can use that trail again. Sorry this is a last minute thing. We had the existing C4 trail ( where the logging was done) all excavated and a bridge built. We contacted the land owner to make sure this was okay with him and he gave us the go ahead. Then he decides he’s going to log again so now we have to do something with the trail. There goes all the hard work we put into it. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    Hey Skeeter. Any chance you can get Hugh Farber to flaten the bank on the French Road so we can get out of the bare tar mac and sand and salt. I thought the town boys were going to leave a little snow along the side till the detour is over. All he has to do is have the driver raise the wing.
    Other wise your trails suck. They are so nice and smooth that you want to fall asleep. Ha Ha I wish Arietta could take a lesson from you guys. We always have a great ride thru Morehouse.

    So our trails suck ach! Try singing the grooming song while your riding ( Dukes of Hazzard s theme song) You can make up your own words! then maybe you won’t fall asleep. (That kind of happens to 80 year old snowmobilers ) Skeeter and I got the whole town yesterday and with the fresh snow today we’re letting riders have the first crack at them . be out Fri. The bypass trail through the old Monk pro. is now open , so you don’t have to run French Rd. It’s only good for this year though, as the new owners are in the process of forming their opinion of snowmobilers. We’re in a potentially bad position as there are 3 new land owners between junc 114 and Harryville. Gagilino Prop. Please slow down and quiet down and respect the LANDOWNERS ! otherwise we could all be riding the RT 8 trail! The detour trail is twisty and has many LAND MINES in it ( little K Harris lingo) so be especially careful. There are plenty of young riders and couples with small kids riding on the weekends so SLOW DOWN
