Eustis ATV Park n' Ride now Open | Next Club Meeting - May 19th, 2024 | Sawyer Brook Trail Closure Notice
JULY MEETING: We will not be able to have our monthly meeting July 12th at the Stratton Community Center due to a change in their policies for COVID. Several businesses offered their places to have a meeting and it was decided that The Stratton Plaza would be the best one for members to be able to social distance. The Plaza will be closed on that Sunday so there will be no food, beverages or customers there during the meeting. The meeting time will be the same 10 to 11. Please pass the word to members who may not have facebook or a computer to read it on the website. We will put a sign on the Community Center door that day to direct anyone to the Stratton Plaza if they did not know the change of venue.
Flagstaff ATV Club will be having our June monthly meeting at the Community Center on Sunday June 14th. We will have to follow some CDC guidelines which I will receive in a couple of days from the town office. There will not be any coffee or refreshments served. I think face coverings are optional and will need to space out the chairs around the room. If you feel comfortable coming we will look forward to seeing you and if you are not comfortable coming than we also understand and will hope to see you at our next meeting.
Good News! Flagstaff ATV Trails will be open tomorrow which include our trails in Rangeley. We still have a temporary closure for Bradbury Brook, Antler Hill and Wind Tower Trails. There will be some logging being done within the next few weeks affecting Split Rock, Tea Pond area. Will keep you updated. The crew has not been able to get Tim Pass gone through so please use caution on that trail. Quill Hill view road is not open yet, still needs to be graded and calcium put on it. A lot of our signs are missing/down so will be headed out next week to start that process. Please respect our landowners and ride safely so we can keep the trails open. Thank you.
Because of COVID 19 guidelines we will not be able to have a meeting this month. (Sunday May 17th). With the timeline they are giving we should be able to have our meeting next month as we usually have fewer than 50 people. Although would love to see that many people at a meeting! We have plenty of room in the meeting place to space out the chairs to make everyone comfortable.
As of right now the trails will not be open Memorial Day Weekend. Dale and Fred have been trying to get out on them but are still snow covered in places and pretty soft. Hopefully with this warm weather coming they will dry out soon.

Flagstaff ATV Trails will not be opened for Memorial Day Weekend. We are in hopes that they will be open June 1st. There is still snow and frost out on the trails. Please respect our landowners and stay off the trails. Thank you.
Because of the COVID-19 restrictions still in place we will be unable to have our monthly meeting in May. Our next scheduled meeting will be June 14th, 2020.
It is with very heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our members Joe Gallant who passed away peacefully on April 27, 2020 with his wife and two daughters by his side. He had a special place in his heart for each person who touched his life over the years. He acquired many dear friends he called family, especially his bonus family “The Roxbury Pond Tribe.” He always had a fun time doing what he loved, snowmobiling, 4 wheeling, and just being around people. He is survived by his wife, Cheryl, married just shy of 49 years; daughters, Becky and husband Rick Grant of N. Monmouth, and Jeanna and husband Mark Dugal of Lisbon Falls; two grandchildren, Mackenzie Grant and Kylan Dugal; brothers, Ronald and wife, Lun Gallant of Florida, Richard and wife, Jenn Pitcher of South Arm, and his two sisters, Sheila St. Cyr of New Castle and Debra and her husband Jeff Tucker of Gorham; also many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Joe, you will be missed deeply by your family and friends.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Joe was very involved with our club and always one of the first to volunteer to do anything that needed to be done. Last year when Dale asked for volunteer’s to take care of sections of our trails the first name of the list was his. I know we all have a story we can share about working with him and many laughs we have had with him out on the trails. For me, I will really miss his smiling face when I look out at the members attending our meetings and having him for a friend.

Due to COVID-19 the April 19th club meeting will be cancelled and the next meeting will be May 17, 2020.
