Getting back to you about some questions I had:
According to Lt. Sullivan of the Vilas County Sherrif's Office, It IS legal for snowmobiles to ride on the right of ways of county highways, hence the horizontal marks made in the hillsides on the sides of Highway M were made legally. As I said, I was not particularly worried about the damage, but was concerned that this is an example of how hard it is to supervise adn prevent damage when machines go off-trail. (IF more snowmobiles are build to go off trail, will this be a a problem in the future? Who knows?)
Second question, yes, people in Presque Isle are VERY interested in connecting to the Boulder Bike path. How many, and how seriously? More to follow.
I am on the "North Boulder Bike Trail" committee, and I can just affirm that there is lots of desire on our part to extend the trail north, mainly to make the bike trail accessible to all of the resorts and residences in the area.
But, it will take some time. In the meantime, come bike the "Heart of Vilas County Trail", and if you come north, tell them you are here for the silent sports!
