Not sure if this is the right spot for this but......what is it with some people? My family has a farm and we grant access for the snowmobile trail to cross one of our fields/pasture every year and have been doing so for years now. Today I looked out of the shop and noticed a wayward snowmobile track. It appears that some bright person thought it would be fun to go play in the powder or something and failed to notice the row of fence posts or the clearly flaged fence running between the fence posts and drove clear through it. Luckily no one was hurt. The trail is clearly staked and today was nice and sunny and there were no drifts across the trail so he didn't lose the trail I guess he just didn't care or think that in a farming area going through a pasture with cattle not 150 feet to his side that there might possably be a fence wire running between the fence posts sticking out of the snow at least 2-3 feet never mind the stay on marked trail sign at each end of the field. If it were my decision I wouldn't grant access anymore cause if any idiot like that got hurt because he ventured off of the clearly marked trail on to private property then we would still be liable. Luckly for the club the decision isn't up to me and my Dad and Grandfather are a little more easy going about that stuff than I am but geeze.
I guess what I am trying to say is stay on the trail because you don't know what is off of it and could get hurt never mind pissing off the land owners. I am sure that the majority of people on here know this but there are still a few jokers out there who think that a ski doo and an open field give them the right to go wherever the hell they want.
