AROOSTOOK COUNTY TRAIL REPORT UPDATED 03/14/2012

Overall Conditions:

Well this will be the final report for the 2011-2012 season. Unusually warm temps have pretty much put the kibosh to most projects, although for diehards…….you can find a place to ride. Most areas north and west still have a considerable amount of snow on the ground but there are pockets of water……lots in some places…….but then a trip through that cleans the mud off !!! Some projects will hedge up north and may go out Friday night or Saturday if temps dip down low enough at night.

Kudos to all the grooming projects that worked hard all winter with little snow to make trails in The County a good ride. Some trails get pounded harder than others and it is tougher to keep trails perfect but for the most part, all trails across The County were really outstanding.

This will be a tough year financially for projects as the projection for snowmobile registrations are down considerably, so when you see a local club doing a hot dog roast or barbecue or any type of fund raiser…..no matter what time of year……stop by and help them out.

On the social side

Washburn will still have breakfast and lunch this weekend and the clubhouse will still be accessible by sled along the railbeds.

Meduxneakeag will also continue breakfast Saturday til the end of the month.

March 24

Ox Bow /Masardis Club ride, conditions permitting, to Homestead Lodge for lunch…meet at the groomer shed

March 31

Thanks to everyone for their support and contributions to trail riding in The County !!!

THE FORKS TRAIL REPORT 3/14/2012

Trail riding is pretty much done on The Forks trail system for this year. There is still some decent off trail riding around Pleasant Pond, Moxie Bald Mountain, and off the Shirley and Brochu Roads.

Thanks to all who rode the trails this year. We hope to see you again in 2013!
