I've made a lot of these with directions and information I find and know, this information is great and I added it and more to the site. Put some pics and a link to the board, a shameless plug for MC and FWDCF. It's a great site to get trail info and also you can join and update the trails yourself with info you have on the area.

I also see that you visited the dirtopia site Mike, nice job there.

Oh and here's a little picture video I recently (this week) made from a couple of our club members, they are known as Moose and Squirrel for obvious reasons. Our site is public on facebook so I don't think you need to join or login to watch....
