All 3 Groomers are running.
We did have issues with the 6175 Deere today. It did not like not being plugged in and we had issues getting it started.
That and 2 chainsaws breaking. The struggle was real.

Tomorrow 417 to Harvey is getting cleared and groomed. That is still our last lingering nightmare.
418 in to AuTrain needs some branch cutting / clearing yet.
Trail 7 South still has a few trees that need to be cut up.
We can push them off of the trail with the groomer.

Over all the trails have been holding up.
