As one of the participants, I am so glad to know we were well received....I know that horses damage the trails, but don't four wheelers make an impact too, or any other trail user?( If it wasn't for the 4-wheeler club, our group may not have been able to come to Andover, we are very grateful for the support and help they have provided to the Cross State Club) For that matter, if one can't ride horses in Andover Maine, where should we go? (don't answer that) Guess there is no place for horses any more, too bad. I have to say, most of the folks I met in Andover were very gracious, I hope that was not just a front.
btw, we bought more than ice, I know for a fact that many small businesses benefited by the infusion of more than a hundred riders and non riders, how about the local home made pies that were served for desert.....???
And that store owner that is from "away" don't they pay taxes to the town? Andover is a lovely place, I am so glad many of you are willing to share your spot of heaven with us outsiders. Devil's Den, Angel Fallls, the view from unnamed meadow high in the mountains, the pristine stars at night that some of us never get to see.
Thanks to all of you that wished to share your spot of heaven with us.... and the farmer from "away" who collected all the manure for his garden..... I think most of you will find we left only hoof prints, and took away just nice memories.
