[6:57] open now. Um
Bald Mountain was the last one to be
[7:02] open, but we do have that open. Um the

[8:06] four road. We are waiting on two
contracts and seekers to continue on
[8:13] with that. I do know I have a list of
land owners um on our whiteboard in
[8:19] there that I need to reach out to and
then we'll start um
[8:23] GPSing flagging and
get going on that. How much of the Snow
[8:27] Road are you doing?
[8:31] That I cannot answer you right now. I
don't know.
[8:35] Um
I thought the whole Snow Road uh
[8:39] I could be wrong. I would have to look
at
[8:42] the land owners and their locations to
answer you and I I just don't have the
[8:46] answer right now.
>> Next time we talk to Jackie, I'm going

We have a land owner there,

[9:23] Yeah, as far as I know. I know we have
the Pine Grove lot,
[9:27] which is the county parcel.
Oh.
[9:31] And then I know we have other land
owners
[9:34] on the road as as well.
But I don't have that information in

[9:41] » [clears throat]
>> Towards what the Watson and

Also working on the Lewis West Leyden

Uh
[9:56] They had the Boonville connection
meeting on the 8th
[10:00] at the Boonville municipal building.
Uh River Crossing Glenfield and Lyons
[10:05] Falls. Um I think we talked about this
at the last meeting, but uh Van Handles
[10:11] on the corner of the intersection of
Lyons Falls and Burdick's Crossing.
[10:15] Um there's a house and land for sale and
then there's other land for sale is for
[10:19] sale that our trail is on, so there's
potential loss of uh that connector
[10:24] there. Um
we hope we don't lose it, but I don't
[10:28] don't know.
So, the property is for sale right now.
[10:32] So.
[10:35] Um
[10:39] 2026 landowner appreciation.
Did we discuss um is there anybody who's
[10:46] going to host it? Have we talked about a
date or locations?
[10:52] » Maybe we The county reimburses us,
right?
[10:55] For the meal?
>> Yeah.
[10:59] » Um
We probably We didn't discuss it, but
[11:03] there We don't have the meeting at the
hotel till August now.
[11:07] » Okay.
>> But we can figure out something like
[11:10] every time.
>> know. Last year Ty and them did and
[11:13] » High market did it last year.
>> High market. Um
[11:15] » That was good, Ty.
>> And then it was at uh the Hideaway. And
[11:18] I thought we were we're going to rotate.
>> Yeah. Maybe the only place I could think
[11:23] of in Remsen would be the Coach Light.
Um
[11:28] » [clears throat]
>> it's got the dining rooms totally
[11:32] separate from the ballroom.
>> Okay.
[11:34] » And the Paint Tree is under new
ownership, too.
[11:38] » Um
>> How many people attended last year?
[11:41] » Around 70.
>> 70. So, the Paint Tree I don't think
[11:44] they would have hold
>> Not in that back room. Cuz we were just
[11:47] up there this weekend and they put us in
the back room.
[11:51] As you go in
>> Right.
[11:53] » to the to the left.
>> Yeah. Yeah, it's
[11:56] » Cuz they got the back place.
>> I don't dine in there anymore.
[11:58] » Yeah, it's kind of small.
>> It it it yeah, it's it's a dining room.
[12:01] » The The Coachlight
would probably be your only other
[12:05] option.
>> Okay. Maybe we could reach out to them
[12:08] and see what occupancy is.
>> Right.
[12:12] » And try to come up with some numbers and
>> You'd want it on a Sunday then? Like
[12:15] last year?
>> Yeah, Sunday or
[12:17] » So, they could you know, sometimes
people don't want it on a Sunday. They
[12:20] don't want to share. Yeah, Heather,
please open early and you know,
[12:24] whatever.
>> Okay.
[12:27] » And there's Three Willows, too.
[12:31] But they could be expensive.
>> Yeah. Coachlight would be, too.
[12:35] » Yeah.
[12:42] I could reach out to Bobby up at the
Coachlight and
[12:45] just see what he thinks first.
[12:51] » All right, let's do numbers pretty much.
[13:00] » All right. Um
So, I guess next news is uh permit
[13:05] sales.
>> Um
[13:08] » I think here today we're at 173,682.
[13:13] Um
[13:17] Maps 170.
Uh donations 115. Three-day passes 611.
[13:26] » [clears throat]
>> Total 3,067.
[13:31] And then club reimbursement is 1,272.
[13:37] Um
[13:42] As far as our crew,
uh we spent
[13:46] about 2 and 1/2 weeks at Lee Golf
after that one uh
[13:52] poker run. Um
That's back open
[13:56] um and the Ives Road connection. So, the
guys they work really hard.
[14:01] Um a lot of corduroy, a lot of a lot of
stow.
[14:05] Um
I haven't been up there in a week and a
[14:08] half or so, but what the trail
ambassadors are saying it's uh holding
[14:13] up pretty well.
Could use some sunlight. Obviously,
[14:16] we've been getting a lot of rain.
Um then we spent about a week at Kronk.
[14:21] » [clears throat]
>> Same thing, corduroy and fixing that up
[14:24] and then I'm mowing.
Um we're we got crews out right now
[14:29] mowing mowing around all the signs. Um
so, we're trying to get caught up with
[14:34] that, too.
Um
[14:36] make sure that the signs are visible for
safety
[14:39] on the trails.
Um we're over to Great Lots right now.
[14:44] We had a
couple projects to do over there.
[14:48] Um
The crew was in High Market today to mow
[14:53] and weedy around the signs and then
they're going to take a look at any
[14:57] maintenance work that needs to be done
up in that area with all the new
[15:01] landowners that we took on last year.
Um So, yeah, the crew's been working
[15:07] hard. They're doing they're doing a good
job. They're
[15:10] They're
amazing, really. So,
[15:13] um
[15:18] There was something else I wanted to
talk about.
[15:30] brushing up there, maintenance.
Then we'll get back to, you know,
[15:34] routine like up over in the Commons, the
middle road.
[15:38] We have them scheduled to hit them next.
Um
[15:42] but we just want to make sure
everything's good up in High Market
[15:44] before we before we leave.
So, um oh, this past weekend, uh we had
[15:51] a bad storm
on
[15:55] Thursday. Everybody knows you had a
tornado watch and it's just been the
[15:59] last two weekends have been real windy,
rain and thunderstorms.
[16:04] Um
I just hats off to the trail
[16:07] ambassadors. They reached out to me this
weekend. Um I had Steve, Eric,
[16:12] Dean,
and uh Mr. Bernard. So, they were out
[16:19] pretty much all Friday and Saturday with
uh cutting trees out and checking and
[16:25] informing me of what was down, what was
open, so
[16:29] I just wanted to recognize them, take a
second to recognize them cuz they're
[16:33] doing what they're supposed to be doing
and I I appreciate it. And I think the
[16:37] whole department appreciates what
they're doing,
[16:40] what everybody's doing.
>> Yeah, yeah.
[16:44] I got a picture out from the town
because there was trees down on Rawson.
[16:50] » Okay.
>> And uh
[16:52] he went up the next day and took care of
it.
[16:55] » Perfect. He was also there was a report,
I didn't see it, uh but
[17:01] » Rector Road had a tree down and he was
out looking for that, but he hadn't
[17:05] found it yet.
>> Yeah.
[17:07] Yeah, I had a couple ambassadors that
took pictures of trees down that were on
[17:11] seasonal roads and
you know, I thanked them, but informed
[17:15] them too that we need to notify the
townships
[17:18] for them to cut them out because
and
[17:21] » for our trail system but it's not my
right away to go out and cut trees out
[17:26] of the main highway.
>> Saturday on French
[17:29] » Well, we can work with our towns, you
know what I mean, to inform them that we
[17:34] saw something that they
maybe they didn't see, you know, or
[17:39] didn't know of yet.
Um just giving them a heads-up.
[17:43] So, that's good.
Um
[17:48] guess we can go around the table.
There's not many of us here, but
[17:53] any news?
Uh we we did a ride yesterday and
[17:58] you know, we've seen where the trees and
stuff were down that they pretty much
[18:01] had them cleared up on the French Road.
>> Yeah.
[18:04] » And you mentioned the the middle road to
washboard, but
[18:08] » Mhm.
>> that's to be expected.
[18:10] Yeah, but uh we didn't have any
encounters on the
[18:15] on the trails. I mean, they're muddy,
but nothing we can do about that.
[18:19] » Okay.
[18:21] » I also wanted to mention when we're up
to Crown, we did add two new picnic
[18:26] tables um that John McGraw
built and donated. Um the one is in the
[18:33] second log landing.
Um
[18:37] by one of the RV sites. It's mowed. Um
but there's a nice picnic table and it's
[18:42] dedicated to
Clay Colver, who was one of our
[18:46] past ambassadors. So, there's a picnic
table there and there's a bench slash
[18:51] picnic table on one of the gorges on the
outer green trail. There's
[18:56] a short little hike and then there's a
nice view of of the gorge looking
[19:00] towards Lake Ontario.
So, um I forgot to mention that when I
[19:04] talked about Crown, but we put those out
as well um a couple weeks ago.
[19:12] Mike?
>> Uh we got hot dog rolls July 11th.
[19:17] That's going to be where the trail
crosses in in 26 in Houseville.
[19:22] We're going to have a hot dog rolls from
10
[19:25] to 10 to 2.
>> Where the trail crosses where?
[19:29] » In Houseville on 26.
>> Right right there in Marty Maciak's uh
[19:33] » Yeah, parking lot.
>> You've had them there before, right?
[19:35] » Yeah, that's pretty good, yeah.
>> Okay, yeah.
[19:37] » And we don't meet again until August, so
Well, we're not having a meeting until
[19:41] August, so
>> Okay.
[19:43] » All our meetings right now fall on a
major holiday, so
[19:46] » Right.
>> Makes it difficult for people to come,
[19:49] so
>> It's that time of the year.
[19:51] » Yeah, hopefully next year our days
rotate up a little bit and
[19:55] they don't fall into this, so
Other than that, nothing.
[20:00] » Doug?
>> Yeah, I was just wondering if you
[20:03] did take your ride with Lewis County for
signs down in the Lowville area.
[20:09] » I did.
I did. So, um I rode with the sign
[20:15] department and we put in a work order
and
[20:18] I got to follow up with that. I don't
know where they stand.
[20:22] But I know when you come out on River
Street by across from the post office,
[20:27] that the snowmobile sign was there.
And then um we went down
[20:34] towards the the old ball field past the
Wicked Bad Apple for the parking.
[20:40] And I I told them I needed the signs
there and then the connectors to get up
[20:45] through 12. Um so I I did go over that
with them and I actually did a ride
[20:50] along with the sign crew from highway.
And um but I don't know where we stand.
[20:56] I can follow up with them
to see
[21:00] when when those are going to be
completed. But I did do a ride along and
[21:04] showed them
um
[21:06] » Every Tuesday before
uh, when you come out from McGregor
[21:10] Road, turn right down Lee Street.
>> Yep.
[21:13] » There was always a sign there
>> Mhm.
[21:15] » showing that there was an open ATV road
trail.
[21:19] » Okay.
>> And
[21:23] of course there's nothing there now, but
>> Okay. I know there was a snowmobile that
[21:29] showed both ways.
>> It did.
[21:31] » Because you can ride snowmobile, but you
can't ride ATV. You can ride ATV off
[21:35] River Street.
And then once you come off the railroad
[21:39] bed onto River, you can make a right to
go down.
[21:45] If I'm If I'm correct on that, we're
talking the same route.
[21:48] » Yep.
>> And then there will be a sign
[21:51] for them to turn into the ball field or
to get to come out to point them in the
[21:56] right direction. But I did do a
ride-along, so
[22:00] um,
I'll do a follow-up with with uh, the
[22:03] sign department and
s- see where we are with that.
[22:08] And we went all the way to Whitaker
to across 26 and uh,
[22:15] you know, those roads too for that other
connection to get up on the hill.
[22:21] » [clears throat]
>> Good.
[22:22] » Okay.
[22:25] » Do you want to
>> Nope. I don't have anything.
[22:29] » All right. Greg, you still there?
[22:33] » I am.
Yep.
[22:35] » Yeah,
you have anything, Greg?
[22:37] » Well, I have a question. Did you get uh,
I've been laid up. I got a heart monitor
[22:42] right now.
But did you get down uh, that washout
[22:46] off of the
uh,
[22:48] parking lot there on G?
>> Yeah, we've been over uh, a couple times
[22:54] to your property. Um, we took care of
the washout.
[22:58] And then the last time we were there, we
brushed and mowed. Um
[23:03] I'm probably going to have to get over
there
[23:06] next week
um to mow again just with all the rain
[23:09] and everything um
>> had.
[23:12] » Yeah, because around the kiosk and the
little picnic table, it's really grown
[23:16] grown a lot.
Well, yeah, we've been over there twice
[23:19] and maybe the next time I'm there, I'll
come down and see you.
[23:23] » Yeah.
>> And then I'll talk
[23:25] about another uh
loop down in the bottom so it don't dead
[23:29] end.
>> Yes, that'd be great.
[23:32] » I don't know that a secret was done on
the the property, so get with you and
[23:37] see what your thoughts are and then I
can
[23:39] flag that out and then we can
work on that later this summer.
[23:44] Oh, the washout was taken care of.
>> But thank you.
[23:48] Uh the only uh what what's your thoughts
on Booneville?
[23:53] Are they
going to be connecting or
[23:57] » I I really don't know. I haven't heard.
Um I did go to the public hearing.
[24:03] Um there was a lot of good questions.
But I I don't know the results of uh the
[24:10] meeting at this point. I don't know
what the board had decided
[24:15] um
moving forward.
[24:19] You know, it was just a public hearing.
>> Right.
[24:22] » [clears throat]
>> And
[24:25] you know, everybody
it wasn't a question and answer thing.
[24:28] It was a public hearing, so people just
voiced their opinions, but
[24:32] whether the board's going to move
forward with it or not, I haven't heard.
[24:36] » No clue.
All right then. Yep.
[24:41] All right, that's all I got then.
[24:44] » Well, this might be the shortest meeting
we've ever had on record.
[24:51] » Nothing wrong with that.
>> How's Jackie doing?
[24:56] » Good.
I got to
[24:59] give her a
