This is the area we are looking at with the DNR on saturday morning--because thats the one stretch you have to drive the road if you cannot make it up poopchute.

I understand half your statement.the other part that I don't understand is by crossing the road you "still" have to cross the creek.at the end of sack up...and what about making a bridge like they have on the busy??? I talked too Kim and Ron when they were at our club meeting and discussed this very thing..:corn:

Are you refering going from sac up to the upper power line access road(newly redone one?) thru the trees?

yes the is alittle cutout already there

I don't think kim understands whats there and find it odd for somebody from the DNR saying go ahead--when there is already a path to the same very spot. Granted I don't know what was or was not said --just find it odd from my dealings with the DNR.
But I will take david way up in there on saturday also and get his input since he is actually the one that deals with this more than kim..

There is the remains of a old bridge to cross that creek. Its all grown over and hard to see. But it would let you out at the bottom of the the new hill going up to the powerlines.

Thats a falling apart bike bridge--not even wide enough for a quad if its the one I am thinking of--roughly 15ft off the trail(at least it was before they redid it)

Ya thats it. Since there is already a bridge there could it be improved for 4x4s? I know you would still need to run the poop shoot though.

You going to fund it? Who has the money to back this up?
We have actually tried to contact the bike clubs to help them repair that ailing bridge.

Ok never mind I'll just keep driving across the creek then across the road and across the road again and up the new powerline trail.
I don't really care if people can't make it up the pooper anyway.

At the end of "Sac Up" take a right. There is already an established Quad and Bike trail. Why not widen it. Is it possible? Build a bridge or whatever for the creek crossings. This way you can avoid the "dreaded" Poop Shoot
:rb: if you want by just driving up or down the gravel road like you are going to or from the OM.

Ditto.

Bottom line---don't drive on the pavement--crossing it is ok..
They are going to enforce this..

what about those of us that drive to the trail? I usually take my mud flaps on in the parking lot while airing down....:eeek: guess i'll just have to put them on to run up the road a bit...
It was a thought in the matter. :flipoff:seriously:flipoff: Do you think I didn't know that was a Bike trail? Seems to me it'd be easier "politically" to convert a trail than to punch in a new. But I will just quiet and let you make all the grown up decisions:hi: I don't know why I even go on here.

I'm pretty sure that gets way to narrow with no way to make it wider or this would have happend along time ago.

It is a good idea, but converting a trail and making a new one aren't much different in the eyes of the DNR I believe.
You would also get a lot of negative input/feedback from the motorcycle folks who originally built and currently maintain that trail.

For less damage to the resources (i.e. the trails), has been approached to have the section of paved road between the parking lot and the power-line trail (whatever its called) to get to the 3rd pit opened up to "all" traffic?
Put up a big sign just past the power-line road/trail thing stating no ORV past this point, but allow bikes, quads, 4x4 to traverse just that 1/2-mile section of pavement. It would sure save a ton of potential damage to the trail system (up poop shoot, unauthorised blazing of new trails etc).
Or as Jay suggested, make the logging roads connect to the point there is non-pavement access.
