Hey Woodsrider
Thanks for the post - it's just the info I was hoping for. I don't know if I'm committed enough to pull the whole thing together and I find that most people like the idea of a club only if they don't have to go to meetings. They also seem to be open to work days as long as someone else finds the trails, gets permission, obtains insurance, coordinates the dates and times and provides the food. They want to trade one or two workdays for a years worth of riding.
I was thinking of something very casual, not AMA sanctioned or anything, just a group that could offer a property owner one point of contact so they would know who was riding on their property on what date. I've been researching sportsmen clubs in general and wasn't aware how much was involved in getting one up and running.
I didn't realize you owned the property. The initiation fee isn't that steep when you factor in your insurance and taxes. You're a bit far from me tho. About the same distance as Tug Hill give or take 30 mins.
First time you get busted riding "outlaw" trails you'll pay a lot more than that.
Hey - I'm a db'er not an atv'er :)
