So it will no longer go through the swamp just south of Hwy 8? I am not familiar with the ATV route. But for some reason I do know where T-Bob's is! :cheers:

I'm not an ATVer but I think the ATV route is right on Starks Rd., So i assume the trail will ditch ride Starks Rd east and cross Hy 8 ?
If so that might not be too bad if the ditch line can be brushed back...sorta narrow though.
I take it both the 100 miler and LMT run tractors only these days....no tracked groomers left.
That stretch had been groomed regularly since 2001/02 as far back as my sledding the area goes.

LMT has a has a New Holland with tracks that works the Roberts Lake / Crandon area, The Wabeno tractor is bigger and has tires.
There is a new ATV trail that gos thru the School Forest and a private landowner, part of it is along the road. I have not inspected the area yet but the ATV club spent a lot of money filling, clearing, and brushing that route and they thought it would be perfect for us. We will need to widen and fill the trail where it comes out on the NST. I expect a huge improvement.
The swamp has been a problem for years. Dangerous to groom and a pain to brush.
