 I just left Totten Trail after having supper.  I talked to the owner (Curt) and his goal this year is to tailor to the ice fisherman.  He wants to plow roads and cook great suppers thru the winter as long as we, ice fisherman support him.  He has two trucks (possibly three)  ready to plow ice  roads as long as we are willing to put a couple bucks in the "snow plow" tip jar and hopefully eat a meal or two at Totten Trail (and maybe have a drink).  He also wants to start a "bragging board" thru e-mail on the Totten Trail wall.  If you would like his e-mail, I.M. me.  I will happily give it to you (I already have his permission).  Totten Trail is a North Dakota legend that is dying.  If we support him while he plows us roads, we all benefit.  Currently Devils Lake is the only place we have in North Dakota that will plow.  There has to be enough demand between Minot and Bismarck for this to work!!!!  I don't care if you respond to this post but please get the word out so Totten Trail can survive!!  (no, I am not affiliated with Totten Trail in any way, shape, or form outside of being a happy customer)

I will make it a point this season to stop in for a burger and a cold one before heading home. Audubon was one of the few places you could get on the ice around here last year might just have to drop a 20 in the jar a few times this year.  It would be nice if you could buy some sort of trail pass. Charge like 50 bucks throw in a some sort of specials in the bar or resturaunt just an idea.

SaugerSlayer, I suggested the pass idea to the owner of Totten last weekend.  He stated that he can not charge an access fee because the Game and Fish/Corp of engineers owns all access land around Audubon.  The only way he can do it is thru the tip jar.  His goal seems to be break even on the tip jar and draw patrons in for burgers/beers.  It would help a lot if you and your friends mention that the reason you are in there for food/drink is because of the ice roads plowed by them.  Good luck!
