I just wanted to let everyone know that our map creator Tom Lapointe has done an AWESOME job with our maps this year.   He has changed the map over three times for us this year to make it as easiest as possible to read correctly.  We have 194.5 miles of trails.     Thank You Tom !

Bought another ½ lift of lumber this past week and crews/nails.

Need to transfer money from savings to trail acct.  $2,000.00 was motioned and approved.

Excavator is down with bearing problems.  We’re exhausted all our resources around here to get these parts repaired, not possible. Our last resort is to have these parts sent to us from Japan.  This can be done through Sparky out of Rangeley.  We’re checked with him and it will cost over $2,000.00 for parts and this doesn’t include shipping.  Motion was approved to going head and order parts. It was told it would take two to three weeks to get the parts after being ordered.

Members motioned to aloud Joe and Don to look for equipment with a $500.00 down payment until we meet again for a discuss on other equipment.
