Just received a call from Matt K Pres; Ohio Club. He sez this trail is now cut out but marginal snow-rocks & mud holes. The trail to Jerseyfield Lake Rd is not cut out yet due to a lack of snow as well as the trail to South Lake from the intersection of C4 north shown as S46A on the map.
Also C4A from Stratford to Salisbury is now open. The major mud hole that the sleds pounded open is now froze with snow shoveled in by greatful riders. The club thanks whom ever and so do we.
RonWe rode C4A over Evergreen Lake to Ohio last Saturday. Thru Morehouse C4 and Took the Jones Rd C4 to Rt 8 then to the Ohio Tavern. Not as many sleds out as I thought there would be.
Trails are hard as a rock and were holding up real well, but its rain now in Morehouse and Piseco
The trail to Haskells S46A was closed. The club sez there are to many rocks not covered yet however I talked to people that night in Haskells who said the snow cover was not that bad but the trail has several blow downs. This trail was worked over with a bull dozer by the Local Forest Ranger and the club some years ago and should not be that bad as far as rocks go. It should have been cut out. I did not take it but it should have been marked at both ends that its closed.
I know this club relies on volunteers and I am not bad mouthing them but this is what I was told by the President of the club ( Matt K ) Sorry
RonMatt K and Ben announced on face book that they groomed C4C to Mosquito Hill from the Ohio end 2 days ago on Sunday. Great, Heard from a friend that it had been groomed a couple of weeks earlier. Thanks a bunch to these guys as this is a twisty, curvy rock strewn goat path. Unlike the trail to Jerseyfield Lk. Rd. (C4) which is a logging road and full of mud holes and a dangerous bridge over Mill Stream and the DEC has not fixed in 26 years and will not let the club even bridge the smaller mud holes.
I found out from a Supervising Forester in Region 5 ( Mike Mulligan ) that any one can build a small bridge using native trees (dead only), since the Law Suit with out DEC permission. Maybe we can get the club to do this. However I think the club wants to use a big BR 180 on this trail. I’m going to check with the local Forest Ranger ( Mike Thompson ) about this. He reports to Mike Mulligan.
