Opinion

After a couple of decades , Terry Callum has stepped down as the Trail Administrator for CLRSR. It doesn't mean that we don 't have his guidance and years of knowledge available to us, but it does mean that his duties as President have made it necessary for him to concentrate on the needs of the NHSA.

A big THANK YOU is in order for the job that Terry accomplished to keep us informed and up to date with rules and regulations. MANY club members and friends of the club actively stepped up and participated in the development and improvements to our trails. Terry's careful attention to our resources and the recognition of our need to grow made us able to advance our trail system and grooming to what we have today.

Knowing how important maintaining control of DETAILS are (and how difficult they are to answer correctly) another member, Mark Wilson, updated the reporting of financial reports that are required of a N H snowmobile club. Mark answered the need with considerable time and effort to make us legally up to date. His work is being coordinated into a statewide effort being made by the NHSA to assist all N H snowmobile clubs to become current with existing laws.

It is one of those seasons where the snow is NOT equally distributed! So, we have some members who have just plain "PARKED" for the season! Totally understood when you see the lack of snow around their homes! Others have a foot or more of snow base in their yards! Some local clubs have shut down grooming all together! So, riding is a challenge for those of us who are able to get on the trails! On March 1st, a bunch of us rode over Potato Hill to Goshen (no current grooming) and on to Pilsbury Park (it was groomed and on some hills you can just barely see the tops of the gates!). Then into Washigton trails (no grooming) to the store for lunch and then toward Lempster to the wind farm back to Goshen and home! Riding was what it was but it did feel great to be out on the trails!
