Well, I just heard from the club that a particular land owner has denied the club and all potential snowmobiler’s access to a connecting trail in Paw Paw. This part of the trail has not been a problem in the past, but this land owner has just found out that the land actually belongs to him and not his neighbor so he has denied access and caused nothing but a headache.
Why is this problem an even bigger problem? The land is owned and access has been denied by the owner of a motorcycle / motorsports dealer in Paw Paw. One that has a dozen or so sleds out in front of his business right now! they want you to support them by buying sleds and parts from their business but will not support the sport and their customers by allowing access to a needed trail section.
As a snowmobiler, please support the businesses that support our sport. There are many options when it comes to buying your sleds and accessories - please support those that care about trail access and the promotion of our beloved sport.
Please check SnowStompers web site for more info and dates for upcoming snowmobile safety classes. Also, please remember that trail brushing and signing will be going on this Saturday and the weekend of Thanksgiving as needed - see the calendar on the web site for details. Come on out and meet some of the people that make this trail possible and give some time back to the sport that you love.
