However, with the new regime of not tracking backcountry trails the question is why a snowmobile was used. If it was for access to the Lac Richard yurt then there would be no need for using #56 - it can be accessed via the Eardley Side Road - it's only 1 km from the road. Certainly, a skied track would have been superior to wwhat you describe.
