TRAFx Counters

Our counts for the season have been completed and we are now looking at our trails under the snow. We get lots of hits to count as you can imagine especially when a tractor pulling a big hunk of iron over the counter.

Check out the new TRAFX tab under ATV/ORV for more information and what kind of reports we can generate!

Poison Ivy, Oak and Sumac

Just a reminder! Poisonous! Do not touch!!
