Most trails have been around for 10-20 years and everyone has rode them.
So like the Falls Creek trail the RCMP just rode down the trail 3 km and set up a check stop on the trail so you had to go past them.
So the expression "Know before you go" does not really apply
we have GPS these trails...
On August long weekend the RCMP were ticketing all OHV on the RMH Falls Creek trail
Staged at the Fire Tower parking lot and met 10 motor cross bikes coming back into the parking lot. All 10 bikers got $310.00 tickets and Madatory Court Appearance for being on a "CLOSED" road that goes from...
It is never a good idea to quad on snowmobile trails.
Why you ask?
1- it has probably taken 30 years of land / owner PR work to get the trust established to allow at trail to be put in.
2- a large group of volunteers spent thousands of hours setting it trail up, marking, clearing, brushing...
A very difficult ride???
Is it due to hills, cliffs, off camber, deep skag, or sasquatches
thinking of going but would like to know what we are up against before heading out???
thanks
when you turn on your GPS at home to test it, it drops your first track point at your house, ten your turn it off.
when you get to the trail head and turn the GPS back on you now are a track point #2
The GPS now shows a line from home to the trail head
The easiest way to prevent that line is to...
Looks like round number 3 to try and bridge that mud hole....
You and Sara must know each log in there hahaha
Nice looking bridge!!!!
Looks like it will hold up this time
I like your idea of the modular bridge
build your base and drag the deck on to it
Looking good
Would love to drive up to Whitecourt for a ride in your country
Do you have separate ATV trails or are you following the snowmobile trails
Because I have the GPS tracks for the snowmobile trails but not any ATV trails
Yep
that's the place
so not much for trails there
well will go have a look anyway and see what's out there
hopefully will not run into any gravel pit owners. Have stay in the trees.
Thanks
So looking at going to Lily Lake trails this weekend
does any one have a Garmin GPS track they can email me
email to brianbeebe@shaw.ca
is is anyone else headed out this weekend?
Hi tlyver
There are no places to quad legally around Miquelon Lake "Provincial Park"
It is all fenced farm land or Miquelon Lake "Provincial Park" or "Ministik Bird Sanctuary"!!!
If you get caught on any of the above places it is now huge fines and could be loss of vehicles toooo!
We are all...

just can not win!

As Predicted with low snow year and warmer temps
March 5 no snow e on trails - but some icy snow along bushes
This Week of March 9-14 highs are from +6 to +14 so there is absolutely no snowmobiling anywhere around Edmonton now...
We saw 2 flocks of Geese by Ministik on March 8
Just a bad year...
I bought a second hand 2007 Freestyle BackCounty 550 fan
Looking at how to jet the carbs?
What procedures to do the jetting?
What to watch for?
Is there a good book to explain all this????
Ministik's closure date has always been March 1 every year.
Some season we had an extention with lots of snow but no need this year
With +4 to +8 degree for this weekend there will be no snow on the trails and the Grass will be showing.
In compliance with Alberta Environmental Sustainable Resources Department:
MINISTIK TRAIL SYSTEM is CLOSED for the Season as of FEBRUARY 28, 2015
(reopens December 1, 2015 with 6" of snow)
Please do not ride past gates, fences, ice crossings to gain access into Ministik or we will...
