ok well heres some more feed back o gaylord trails.......were screwed!!! lol just playin they actually took an old groomer and leveled the trails and well did a pretty good job ...but there was a few bumps left(so people dont go to fast in town areas and kill themselves) they have 2 groomers one is a new holland tractor(so far a piece of crap) and a john deere tractor(looks more like a friken train...its big!) they had a meeting last week with all the new groomers and went over procedures....man they got more paperwork than i do ..if they change a lightbulb they have to document EVERYTHING! who,what,when,how.......i was suprised to find out exactly everything they have to do especially how many accidents REALLY happen. and how to report them...just to warn those of you who like to either play chicken with the groomer or even ride by and touch it i warn you ....DONT DO IT!!! there watching they have video servalance on all sides of the groomers...please be careful guys and gals they really did suprise me with the numbers!

ill have to check for ya but unfortunately we have a HUGE problem the last group of guys who had the groomers didnt fix them and now we cant get them going and theres no money left in budget so.........for now were screwed!!!! jerry(who took over the groomers) is a little overwhelmed with what was not kept up on these groomers and the sad part is that the new holland groomer isnt old at all!!! so if anyone has ideas as to how we could get some extra funds for them (cant be a bank) please let me know. i have done some sleddin though we hyavent made it up to that area. sorry i couldnt help. the trails in gaylord/waters/frederic areas are a little beat or i should say ...dirt... due to we didnt get that much snow and they have had an awful lot of traffic. but was still a really good time!
