LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES Summary of January Meeting Once again, club operations were discussed and its good to report all elements are running smoothly and really we just need additional snow on the trails. Another fund raiser dinner will be held this month at the Coffee Cup in Lake City. Check back soon for details. As discussed last month the new trail connector from M-42 to Sandborn road was rough cleared but will require brushing, clearing, and final approval from the State of Michigan. We are very optimistic this new segment will be fully operational next year.

TRAIL REPORTS Update February 2nd - The groomers were out once again after our recent dry spell of no snow and reported that both the Manton and Lake City trails are in good shape. Obviously we still need mother nature to give up some snow and hopefully she will in the near future. Update January 18th - Mat and Butch groomed the system Sunday night and found a good base with very little sand, overall the trails are in good shape but of course we need snow after this crazy warm spell!

Snowmobile trail signs are being stolen all across Michigan. The DNR has an ad campaign alerting us of the dangers of removing signs from our trails. Signs are coming up missing in Missaukee County all over the Miss-Kal trail. We are asking snowmobilers who see anyone removing signs to get the registration numbers of the snowmobile and report them to the DNR. Please do not confront the thief as we do not want to cause a confrontation and put the reporter in any immediate danger. Call 1-800-292-7800 to file a report. Also, please call (231) 229-4810 and report missing signs to our Trail Coordinator. We will dispatch a crew to get them replaced immediately! Sign theft is not only illegal it is also very dangerous to riders. Furthermore stealing signs is costly. Part of your Trail Permit Fee pays for the signs on our trails. People who steal signs are stealing from everyone who bought a trail permit!
