• You will all notice that the State of Maine has put up the new state signs.  No UTV’s over 60” aloud on the landowners trails.   The State has put these signs up per -request of the landowners not the club.  If we don’t follow the law we will lose more trails.
• Great news – Saddleback has new owners and they are interested in ATV & Snowmobiling trails. We are looking forward to working with them.
