HERE ARE SOME TRAIL ISSUES TO BE AWARE OF. DETAILS ARE PROVIDED ON OUR WEB SITE. ITS 89 IS REROUTED AGAIN AND LAST YEARS ROUTE AND CONNECTION TO STRATTON/EUSTIS IS CLOSED. THERE IS A NEW TRAIL CONNECTION TO MOOSELOOKMEGUNTIC LAKE AND TO BALD MOUNTAIN CAMPS. ITS JUNCTION WILL BE ALONG ITS 84/BALD MTN TRAIL ABOUT A MILE SOUTH OF OQUOSSOC. OUR FLATIRON/NOTCH TRAIL IS CLOSED THIS YEAR. FINALLY, WE WILL HAVE A SIX MILE SECTION OF ITS 84 POSTED THIS YEAR FOR SHARED USE. IT RUNS FROM THE LITTLE MAGALLOWAY RIVER BRIDGE TO JUNCTION 19 WHERE ITS 84 BRANCHES WEST TO THE NEW HAMPSHIRE BORDER (ABOUT 1.5 MILES). THE TRAIL TO BOSEBUCK CAMPS FROM JUNCTION 10 IS PLOWED AND POSTED FOR SHARED USE. BOTH TRAILS WILL BE PLOWED AND SHARED FOR FORESTRY OPERATIONS, SO STAY ALERT FOR TRUCKS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, KEEP RIGHT, AND STAY WITHIN THE POSTED SPEED (PLEASE). FINALLY, THE INFORMAL TRAIL , BETWEEN MOOSELOOKMEGUNTIC LAKE AND THE FOUR-PONDS/CORRIDOR 117 HAS BEEN CLOSED BY THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE. THIS TRAIL CROSSES THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL AND FEDERAL LAWS PROHIBIT SNOWMOBILING ON PARK SERVICE LAND. SINCE MANY OF OUR MEMBERS USE THIS TRAIL, THE RLSC IS HELPING THE RANGELEY LAKES HERITAGE TRUST ALONG WITH THE SLIPPERY SLIDERS CLUB (BYRON), THAT WAS GROOMING PART OF THIS TRAIL, TO FIND A PERMANENT REROUTE.

THE RLSC THANKS THE FOLLOWING BUSINESS MEMBERS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED CASH AND/OR IN- KIND SERVICES . PLEASE SUPPORT THEM WHEN YOU CAN.
