[Talk-ca] Manitoba Snowmobile trails

[Sam Dyck]

Hi Richard

Some clarifications. I have contacted IndyGord through the message
function, but have not received a response. Manitoba is an echo chamber.
Including me there are only 3 or 4 frequent contributors. We rarely contact
each other or coordinate, and aside from the time you were in Winnipeg I
have never met another Winnipeg mapper in person. It's not that I haven't
tried (I invited IndyGord to that event, they did not respond) but no one
else seems interested.

I contacted IndyGord through as general mail because snowmobile trails are
all that they do, and all of them have the same problems, and it seems
redundant to start a changeset discussion at this point (but am certainly
open to it if you or others still feel it is appropriate)

As for my relation, if people want to leave comments they can do so at
