Bridge given the name of snowmobiling giant Albert Adams
McHENRY – The newest improvement to McHenry County’s snowmobiling trails is named for the man who started it all.
Albert “Alby” Adams, always recognizable in his signature cowboy hat, started the first local snowmobile association, served as its first president and worked out agreements with area farmers for snowmobilers to ride across their land.
About 45 years later, some 200 miles crisscross the county from Harvard in the west to Fox Lake and Wauconda in the east.
