I explained to you before (Link) why we don't share detailed info for trails on sites where everyone in the world can see. We've had instances where the wrong people ruin trails and responsible 4wheelers end up loosing. I'm sure that many other people reading this are on the same page.
If anyone is travelling to Manitoba and wants to go out wheeling, just post a thread on when and where you're coming and I'm sure us Manitoba guys can get you out on a good run

We can all see this thread and nobody will be sharing any info on this trail publicly.

This start to be confusing...
Why "Seddon's corner" or "Reynolds Ponds" was OK, but the other one are not!?
According to your post, they all should not be posted...

I love the idea of this thread, I'm not super familiar with the format of this site, but would it be possible for a Moderator to move it to a section that only forum members can view, so the trail sites are at least somewhat protected by only being viewable to forum members???
On another note, I learned to wheel on Eagle Mtn in my TJ, lots of good memories. Any other suggestions in Southern BC?

For my fellow Albertans, here is the link to the public lands act. It is a good idea to develop a relationship with your local SRD office (Alberta Sustainable Resource Development). But we have full access to Crown Land unless there is an area closed under order from the Minister's office (signs would usually be posted). Your local office would be able to let you know of the areas that are closed, usually it is environmental reasons. It is getting harder to find access and their is much abuse. Please report abuse.
The RCMP do not know all the regulations or all the areas that are closed. Most of the officers are only trying to do a job so be respectful (I am sure they could find something to write you up on if pushed).
