Re-route for Glenburn Lake Riders SC By Barry Ryan

T his is a re-route of one of Glenburn’s local club trails. The trail from Village Variety that goes towards Ken duskeag Stream was closed by the landowner due to the amount of trash that has been discarded on their land.This just shows the lack of respect and poor deci sion making of a few “lazy” people that leads to this consequence. The result of this action forces the land owner to take action and close the trail to all recre ational activities. The second part of this issue falls directly into the lap of the local snowmobile club to find and open up a new alternative trail. GLRSC was lucky in this instance, where an abutting landowner took the time and resources to flag and mark out a new trail with the club President. The landowner and five GLRSC members with chain saws, brush cutters, and their multi-purpose side-by side Kubota worked for five hours cutting and stacking aside numerous piles of small trees and alders. They had to cross two small streams; one will require an additional bridge at about $200 - $250 in materials and a few more hours of labor. Thanks to their hard work, they were able to connect to the existing trail system. Many thanks to Don P. (the abutting landowner) and the trail crew (Eddie P., Dillon K., R.P., Dustin, and Barry R.) Glenburn Lake Riders plans on signing and building the needed bridge later on this fall. In closing, as stewards of the land that we are allowed to use - PLEASE - when you make trash - take it out and as you find trash, bot tles and cans, PLEASE take it out as well.The landown ers will certainly appreciate the effort to keep their prop erty clean and allow it to be accessible for ALL to enjoy.
