Welcome
5/9/10
HI-Lights from the 5-8-10 Meeting
First
meeting of the 2010-11 season will be on
Saturday 9-25-10 at 6:PM. If GIA comes through
with funding for all our planned projects we
will be very very busy this fall. We have
requested funds for three major projects. NO
1. Put a gate at the north end of 25$ trail
and improve drainage on the trail. NO 2. Cut
trail along the power line including a 20'
bridge. This will by-pass part of Red Brook
rd. NO 3. Build a 50' bridge across Mill Brook
that will reconnect Mill Brook rd (FR 93) and
Red Brook rd going through Agnew State Forest.
The State is trading in there Tucker 1000
groomer next spring so we will keep our eye on
those proceedings as we need a larger machine.
We thank Gretchen Bardenheuer for her time and
efforts as secretary, she will continue to
submit articles to Snow Traveler. We created a
new office of Trail Master which Jerry Mello
has filled and Jack Sullivan will take Jerry's
place as Trail Administrator. We have
installed a brush cutter on our drag, this
will greatly reduce the amount of hand work
involved in trail clearing. That's about it
for now hope to see everyone in September,
until then Have a Safe summer.
The law
states that a Groomer has the right of way.
Common sense says DO NOT PASS A MOVING
GROOMER!!!

RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR PASSING A GROOMER
approved
by NHSA map and trails committee
1. FOR
ONCOMING SLEDS: The sled should pull off the
trail
and allow the groomer to pass by.
2.
OVERTAKING A GROOMER: The groomer operator
should
find a safe place to pull over and stop. The
rider can then
check to see if they can safely pass the groomer.
NOTE: The groomer operator will not signal a
sled to pass.
Reason: Each rider must take responsibility for
passing
a trail groomer.
