The LRCT is a wonderful organization and has my support!

Perhaps rather than getting upset by LRCT and the other landowners, directing their anger at trails being closed, they should direct their anger toward the major player who caused these trails to be closed to the public. His name and website is in the article, and a letter to him thanking him for disrupting the activities of snowmobilers and hikers alike.

It is unfortunate that those who litter can not be so readily identified, but we can see the result of those who litter any time we are on the lake, walking a stream, diving or snorkeling the lake, playing golf, on a playground or sports field,...etc...the list goes on.

The transgressions of a few have a dramatic effect on the many. So sad.

Do an excellent job of trail and land maintenance. Unfortunately there are a few that think they are God. That goes for hikers, boaters and other folks that uses the outdoors for recreation. The biggest issue we have right now are dog owners.

The family had issues with LRCT concerning trusting our properties because of their restrictions of recreation use. We decided BRCC (Belknap Range Conservation Coalution) best suit the needs to preserve our land.

If you can help support BRCC.

The link in the article certainly was an interesting read. That is why the old adage about three sides to every story is often true.

As the president of the Moultonboro Snowmobile Club, I struggle with the actions of few ruining good things for many. Never a season passes without meeting with landowners after irresponsible riders have caused some damage to their property.

We have a very good relationship with the LRCT (much of our Red Hill trail is on Trust property) and find them reasonable and fair to work with. Each year I meet with a representative of the Trust to discuss areas that need attention, more signage, etc. I am always amazed to hear about some of the crazy things that snowmobilers sometimes do in the name of "fun".

Do I wish more trails were open at the Castle? Certainly, but I understand why they are not. There are thousands of miles of snowmobile trails in NH. We have 70 miles in Moultonborough and Center Harbor alone.

Please stay on the trail or stay home
