Today the local snowmobile club dedicated a beautiful portion of the main trail in Florence County in the memory of Bob Johnson, former Board member and key worker for the club.
The trail goes from the Menominee River crossing from Michigan into Wisconsin, to the Brule River crossing, back into Michigan. We have run dogs on that trail many times and have met Bob and Nan on the trail at times, they on their machines, we on our dog sleds. Bob and Nan have worked tirelessly for years, together, getting the maps out, the publicity, serving in various offices, grooming trails, performing various tasks too numerous to remember!
It was bitterly cold and the turnout was fantastic... many people came on their machines , with the great new snow, and others drove then walked into the river crossing.
The sign is great and remembers a truly good friend and member. Bob died in June of the same tragic disease that claimed Susan Butcher.
