I am going to be at Reiter this morning at 9:00

Just FYI in case anyone wanted to come and walk around
 
So this is my vision of what can be done at Reiter for the 4x4 trails

Green are trails
Blue is creeks
Yellow diamonds are skills areas
Black is access roads
White is Deer flats road

The only problem I see if how many people are going to be able to follow a map?

I like the trail idea Charlie, I see lots of trails. We can always improve them over time.

I think unless a flaging group is following a gps very closely then we are going to lose trail miles by just randomly flaging a trail.

Just a thought.

I like the map in the work party area better.

the idea would be for people with GPS's to lead the groups and get the way points from Charlie hoping they know how to use there GPS.
 
x2. yup, I'll be loading in Charlie's points into my GPS. every group will have at least one GPS person to tell us where we should be.

Why does anyone need a GPS or way points? Isn't the idea to find out where you want the trails to be?

I think the idea is to use charlies way points as a rough sketch/starting point/direction. He has done alot of homework why not use it...

Yes but Charlie has been nice enough to map out a suggested trail area. He has 13 miles mapped there is no way someone is going to find and map out 13 miles of trail in one day but if there is some thing along the suggested route you wish to move towards we are all ears and would like to see what we can do. Also if you have a suggested route(s) we can use I am sure we are more then happy to flag out your route(s)! :awesomework:
 
Who's idea?.....You don't need a work party to do that.

Honestly other in a couple rock piles there is nothing in the area to draw you to... the trail lay out is not the important part... its what we do with those trails when we construct them that will be important...


With that said there is one area I would like to see a trail be considered which is not on Charlies suggested map that I have been working on :hi:
 
I guess my concern is random flaging where we will lose trail milage. And lose some obsticals because the trail dosnt include them or we didnt see them.
 
You guys need to go walk the proposed trail area as much and as often as you possibly can one day wondering out in the woods is not going to get anything accomplished. If you want a trail to go or be in a certain location with in the proposed new trail areas you need to get off your ass and map it out!


If you have a map for us to follow I would be more then happy to work with you to get it approved! :cool:
 
But since this is the DNR's show I would suspect the dnr...

Nope not DNR as this was discussed in the focus group meeting a couple weeks back......My point is while Chanrlie has put a lot of research into this and has some ideas others shouldn't feel the choice has already been made for them...If you're reading this and want to map out a trail then go for it.:awesomework:
The big problem I have with all of this is two fold. First we hired a trail planner to do this so WTF exactly are they doing. Second I've already spent one Saturday doing this same exact thing only without the ribbons. How many times are they going to waste our time doing the same thing over and over?
You guys have fun Saturday and hang lots of tape.:awesomework:
 
Which is why I've already said I won't be there. I bring this up for other peoples interest as there's nothing in that area I wish to see.


I think getting the trail mileage and spreading the trials out over the proposed area and utilizing the elevation as best we can will set the ground work for what we will be able to build with man made (natural materials) obstacles.

I don't think they have seen any money yet but I think they will take what we (ORV users) give them and make it all flowery so we can submit for building permits.
