The snowmobile search, shown: every register checked for Olive Township

item 2 — the search the named gap GAP-NC5-REC-2 called for, source by source

(1) The state system — the Indiana Department of Natural Resources' snowmobiling pages and its published cooperative-trail maps, read whole for St. Joseph County: the DNR publishes exactly one cooperative trail in this county, the Buffalo Run, on a map last updated 8 January 2026. (2) The state association — the Indiana Snowmobilers Association's trails page, read whole: it lists four DNR-cooperative trails statewide and one association-only trail, and for St. Joseph County it lists the Buffalo Run alone, "west of South Bend." (3) The program's own manual — the DNR's Snowmobile Trails Program Manual 2025–2027, read for its club contracts: four contracted systems (Buffalo Run, Heritage, Miami, Salamonie), one club for this county, the Michiana Trail Riders Coalition, Inc. (4) The county clubs — the Michiana Trail Riders Coalition, named by the DNR map and the manual as the county's maintaining club, its own web address (gomtrc.com) carried on the DNR map; no second club and no Olive Township club trail stands in any register read. (5) The trail registers — the Indiana Trail Finder / Indiana Trails Inventory, the state's own trail census, checked for a snowmobile entry on this ground beyond the cooperative system: none stands in the record reached. The searched result is therefore a structured one, not a bare negative: the township is not trail-less, as the following articles show — it is crossed by the county's one cooperative trail — and it has no second trail, no town trail, and no club system of its own in any register named above. The route question the gap posed is settled in the item-4 article of this section.
