Ya let them fix that!

 

I have a disk in my back that seeps fluid. I still try to get out in the spring with a chainsaw to clear trees. I wouldn't do it in the fall anymore though, unless the trails are in good condition for winter riding up in Claremont. It has to be below freezing, and at least 6 inches of snow on the ground. In all my years of riding I still haven't gotten up there in the winter.

I used to work with the president of Sullivan County ATV a lot. New guy hardly contacts me. Their loss.

 

Was tempting. Since hearing about the snowmobilers giving us a bad name, I don't check on their website for projects in the ATV season anymore.

I'd cry if someone burned those bridges down. I hurt for weeks after the day we did two bridges and the next year when we did another one on our own.

Of course, I got out on the trails in the spring to check for trees and got to the last bridge we built (replaced a weaker bridge that a guy in a Jeep Grand Cherokee broke which left him in a stream about 7' below that he coudn't get out of). The railings were all ripped up and broken. Learned the snowmobile club crashed the trail groomer into the railing. We had asked for input from them on the last bridge and they never got back to us. We brought in big blocks with an excavator and the operator decided where to put them. It was a bit more over than the snowmobile club wanted. Of course, they tell us this months after the project was done rather than before or during construction.

 

Or you could just cut 3/4 of the way through the carrying beams and walk away.

 

That really sucks, especially after doing all that work.



Why cant people just get along eh? Wrecks it for everyone.

 

that's the video my wife shows me to get me horny just before we go to bed

 

Would need a torch or lots of Sawzall blades. Each bridge has 3 huge steel beams under it.

 

Wow, you guys built a real bridge.... What a raw deal.
Hate to say it but club president or who ever was in charge should of had some kind of written contract or lease before equipment, labor and material were brought in. Do you feel this was a set-up?

 

Don't know. The first reason given for the connector being closed was that the snowmobilers bad mouthed us. Second I heard was they didn't like the President of the ATV club at the time. But, after she retired and the guys I worked with the most became Pres. and Vice Pres. nothing changed. Also heard dirtbikers were a problem along with 2 stroke quads.

 

Sorry to hear that, takes all kinds to spin the world. I wonder if it would help if your ATV club reached out to the Snomo club to open talks / negotiations as it were. Sometimes offering the olive branch works, other times it might get your welts from being smacked by it. But it might be worth a try if not already done.

good luck.
