Alexandria Ledge Climbers
Welcome:
It’s now November and winter is right a round the corner.
We still have trail work to do before the big snow fall. The guy’s
are working every weekend for anyone that is interested in helping
out. Please call744-5497
We
will be having our annual Christmas party in December, Pot luck
dinner and Yankee sway. Please check our calendar of events for
more information.
I
would like to relay a story to all of you concerning Landowners
and Trails:
Without
Landowners permission for us to use there property our sport would
cease to exist.
This
year we have had multiple problems.
People that have and operate Dirt Bikes, ATV”S and 4 wheel
Drive jeeps and trucks need permission too. They need WRITEN PERMISSIOM
for every landowner that they go on.
When
we get permission for snowmobile clubs it’s for the club
and not for other forms of motorized recreation.
If
you belong to the snowmobile club in the winter you still need
to get permission in the other months.
We
almost lost one of our most important land owners this year and
without them you can kiss the club goodbye.
We
have over 70 Landowners and everyone of them is a very vital part
of our ability to snowmobile in Alexandria just think of all the
landowners state wide the next time you are our riding there are
no visible lines in the snow showing who owns what so we must
all be good stewards of the trail to make sure that we have the
ability to use there land for a long time. In most cases we are
not the people that have created the problem like in our case
it was a Dirt biker, however we are the ones the landowner sees
and can take it out on.
I
am sure you have all herd this before but as property taxes go
up and people recourses go down they start to think why should
I have this extra hassle if I don’t need it.
PLEASE
BE GOOD AND HAVE FUN!
The
trail masters meeting is coming up and this year Dennis will be
teaching a class on trail work and Drainage how to build a snowmobile
trail.
The
Fed.Goverment has imposed some new regulations on 501(c) (4) so
I will be going to find out about that.
The
new shed for the groomer stuff is almost finished it should be
a big help to the groomer operators.
Hope
You all Have a Great Holiday Season!
