Ctr harbor access closed?

sluggo · 10-23-2015, 12:57 PM

Well its that time of year again and since I work on the lake and sled right from my house to the lake through this access everyday I was very concerned why The home owner closed the trail across his property. I had a chance to talk to him the other day and from our conversation I was surprised to hear how disrespectful some of the riders have been to this home owner from leaving trash and beer cans on the property and even going as far as egging the house when he had made verbal complaints to a few of the guys crossing his property. Now I've know this home owner for many years and let me tell you all that he's REALLY PISSED OFF ! there is no way he is going to open this trail back up again ever .........

When you think about how many people used this section of trail... it is unfortunately the it only take one or two jerks... (or 10 - 20)... to screw everyone else.....

On the flip side I can understand the landowner being upset with finding trash etc... and then if the house was egged that brings it to a whole new level....

You should have talked to him when it happened if you wanted to hear angry. Having said that, I have seen very few snowmobilers running around with eggs in their pockets or bags!

Have to admit I'm a little skeptical of some of these abuse stories.
We are on the Red Hill trail and have thousands of machines pass our property each season as well as those who come to the restaurant.
After 20 years at this location ,we have never had a single incident of a snowmobiler driving over a septic field or riding off trail as to cause any damage.Have not seen a single beer can or any other garbage along the trails or parking area even after spring melt.

You would never know if a snowmobiler had eggs in their pockets or bags unless you stopped everyone and searched them. Having said that, it would not surprise me if these people returned at a later time to vandalize this homeowners property.

Fair enough- my point is carrying eggs on a snowmobile is a recipe for cracked and/or scrambled eggs!

I agree with the fact that hundreds of sleds pass through home owners property's on trails here in Moultonboro every season and I see nothing but respect for the area , but it is sad when we get a few riders that tend to cause these problems for the overall majority. I look forward to sledding again this year as everyone else is so lets wish for a good snow pack and smooth trails !
