Well after years of trying, one more time wont hurt. New name and new bunch of guys on the site to pull from.
Febuary 8th, 9th, 10th
I will be talking with Dave tomorrow to hash things over and see if on the southern end he can help to get people together for ride sharing or a caravan of 100 or so pickups to come up with sledders.
Lets show those guys out in the U. P. what a ride can be!!!!!
Commit now to this ride if your in, the more that commit the more will come as alot of people would like to meet the guys they talk to.
Well first off, let me say that I hope to see many of you up for this ride. I have talked to many over the years, sold you parts, helped you with your sleds or bought something from you. Nice to put a face with the name.
The reason I chose Houlton for the ride is simple. I live here. As lazy as this sounds there is more to that decision than my laziness. I-95 comes right into town, drive off the interstate right to your hotel. There are many hotels and places to eat. Mcguire Motorsports is right in town and are very helpful. My shop, Aroostook Auto Glass(shameless plug) is also available for anyone who needs to do some midnight repairs if nessasary. Another nice benifit is that if we have an off trail adventure, i have many friends to help us out in most all the areas we will be riding.
Hotels in the area are:
Ivey's Motor Lodge http://iveysmotorlodge.com/
Ivey,s would be my first choice, Rick the owner is a great guy and there is a pub there. A walks distance to a couple resturants and another bar.
Stardust Motel http://www.stardustmotel.biz/
They are up the street about a mile, no bar, just hotel with reasonable rates.
Shiretown Motor Inn www.shiretownmotorinn.com
They are located accross the road from Ivey's. There is a bar there as well and a Governers.
All of the above Hotels are on the trail, as in trail runs behind them.

REGISTRATION: The Maine snowmobile trail system operates on a sled registration system. There is no trail pass required, but all Maine residents and non-residents must register their sleds in Maine to ride in Maine.
Resident Registration is $33 (one year), commencing from July 1. Non-residents have three options - a 3 consecutive day registration is $43; 10 consecutive days is $58 and a full season is $68. (Plus an agent's processing fee of $1-$2) Non-resident registrations note the dates for which they are valid. You can register at numerous agent locations throughout the state - a list of Registration Agents is available on the IF & W site as well. You can also register through the mails or purchase a resident renewal or non-resident season registration on-line at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife web site .
The only details on the ride so far is that saturday morning will involve going to Meduxnekeg Ramblers for breakfast buffet. Very good.
