Valley ATV Riders

posted July 13, 2011 
...just got done getting landowner permissions signed 
so we can continue riding the trails we have in the 
greater Fort Kent area.  
In talking to the landowners, a few topics came up: 
1. Please stay on marked trails 
2. Drive at a reasonable rate of speed to keep 
the dust and noise down 
3. Always watch out for and yield to farm equipment 
and trucks-these landowners are trying to earn a 
living and graciously allow us to ride on their land 
4. Drive defensively and always be prepared to meet 
others on the trail hopefully riding at a 
reasonable rate of speed. 
5. Respect  the land and don't unnecessarily 
spin out and make ruts anywhere.

 ** Landowner Issues **
posted 060409 mentioned at the last meeting, 
...when clearing blow downs on the trail, 
try to cut logs into 8 ft.  There is not much 
a landowner can do with 2 ft pieces.
thanks!

posted 052309 First, please slow down when meeting 
farm vehicles and move your 
atv out of the way! 
Farmers operating equipment
 can't see nor hear you. 
Second, Please slow down,
Third, pick up your glass bottles 
- there are waste cans at each of the 
VATV Riders picnic tables.
