Use Caution Out There!
Washout on trail 276
The recent rains (or should we say downpours) have really wreaked havoc on our trail system. While trail 275 from Miles Pond to Leonard Hill is fine, (the one with the new bridge) just about everything else is dealing with various stages of wash outs. One of the worst is is trail 276, from the Oregon Rd. to Leonard Hill Rd.. which washed out a big culvert. and no way around, yet!
Wash outs on class 4 roads are just about everywhere, and even the class three roads still have rough spots!
Beware! If you know of rough spots, missing culverts, and wash outs please post on the forum. These recent storms are going to take the better part of the summer to fix! And if you can help us out, by all means volunteer! We can always use the help, now more than ever!
Shumlin & Markowitz To Revoke The ATV Rule That Allows Riding On State Land
Gov. Shumlin has kept his campaign promise to revoke the ATV rule that would have allowed ATV use on certain plots of state land.
Although the areas were limited, the revocation of the rule means that the efforts to interconnect trails from one club to another providing state wide access to 4-wheeling in Vermont has suffered a serious setback.

Reciprocity with New Hampshire
New Hampshire and Vermont no longer have a reciprocal deal for A.T.V. registration. That means a Vermont registered machine can no longer be run in New Hampshire without first getting a New Hampshire registration.
