As a member of the club in question I can assure readers that westernmaine has the facts wrong. The easiest to address is the damage to the field ...locals can drive by or walk through to see there is none. We paid a substantial fee ( >$500) to use the field AND made donations to the community. We also donated all leftover food items to the local soup kitchen and all returnable bottles went to the local ATV Club. This trail riding club goes to great lengths to work with the landowners and locals in the communities we visit to ensure needs are met and questions are answered. Trail briefings are held the evening before each ride to make riders aware of specific requests of landowners. Rider's go out in small groups throughout the day to limit impact. Almost every trail this year had to be re-routed to well traveled dirt roads and ATV trails due to the July rains. Many of our members also belong to Ellis River Riders and the Roxbury ATV club and return to Andover to vacation throughout the year. Thank you Andover for welcoming us back!
