Snowmobile Trail Report

Gary Marquis

     Wow, what a week and a half this has been for all projects from Island Falls to the Allagash and everyone in between.

A lot of the clubs are reporting very good progress, while there are some that will need another week of cutting before their sections are at 100 percent. So please use caution when out riding as not every club has had a chance to put up signage — they were dealing with getting the trails opened to allow groomers to get through.
