I am sure that there will be differences. I have found a few trails that are not in the GPS. I would expect that it would depend on the tracks that are sent to them to add to their package, and there would typically be some differences. Overall, my Garmin has been very helpful to me, sometimes clubs signage is lacking a bit (for a whole number of reasons, I understand that), and I don't have maps for everywhere we ride.

Thanks - I have a Garmin Nuvi with the Backwoods GPS maps. It works great on the trail, but it doesn't have a route planning feature, I can only set the destination from my current location, so it wasn't easy to check the distance with it. I reverted to the paper NHSA map, and estimated, looks like I got pretty close.

Was talking with my brother-in-law yesterday about a trip for the coming winter. Does anyone have an estimate of the mileage by trail from Gorham to Pittsburg? I'm guessing it's between 75 - 100 miles, but I could be off by a bit. Thanks.

At the risk of stirring things up - Just got an email from HK, good for them for passing the word along to their customers.

Let hope so. My brother-in-law is buying a new sled, picking it up tomorrow. That probably signals a warming trend.

Better to have a small community where there is meaningful communication than a mess of incomprehensible stuff, and a certain amount of inaccurate information. BTW - Was watching the news on NECN on Wednesday around noon, the weather guy put up a great picture from the Northeast Kingdom, and credited some guy named John. Looks like you must have gotten another drone...

Spent a day riding with BigGuyNH late in the season. Had a great day. Hard to pass that Jefferson Notch sign with out stopping for a picture.

You might try a hardware store. Some of them have a selection of fittings similar to that. You might not find one with the 90 degree elbow, but if it has the right threaded and, and a nipple for a rubber hose, you should be able to make it work. Or, try a lawnmower shop. They may have a box of fittings laying around with a piece of gold in it.

I guess you are right, I forgot how many people go to the races in Loudon. But when you consider the roads going in and out of Loudon, and the size of the facility, it is remarkable how smoothly the grass drags run, given that it is at a farm, on a country road, and managed my volunteers.

I arrived Saturday around 9:45. Parked farther back than usual based on the arrival time, there were a lot of people there. Took our walk around, bought some raffle tickets and lunch. Didn't need any gear this year, but we did browse the tents. My brother-in-law is thinking about buying a new sled, so we spent some time looking them over. Nice to be able to walk across and look at all of them for sure. Left a little before 2:00. We were supersized at the number of people trying to get in, there was a long backup of traffic trying to park. Key is to get there early for sure. This has to be about the biggest event in NH nowadays, I don't know how many get to the NASCAR race these days, but it must be close.

From the Maine Snowmobile Association: Free Snowmobile Weekend Free Snowmobile Weekend in Maine is January 26-28, 2018. During this weekend, a nonresident (from another state or province) may operate a snowmobile in Maine (no reciprocity necessary) so long as he/she has a valid registration from his/her home state or province. The change of weekend may not me as much of a problem as the way this is written. It says no reciprocity needed, I think the NH law may be based on reciprocity. I have been riding in Maine one weekend a year for the last 10 years. We moved away from this weekend, because the trails were typically lousy. Not so much because of crowds (we didn't notice much difference in crowds on other weekends, at least in Maine), but because some clubs there seem to have decided that if you don't pay for a registration, they aren't grooming that weekend. You can get a three day registration in Maine for under $50, not a lot at the end of the day, especially if the trails are better. It may be that this has run its course, and its OK to let it go. I am not sure it was changing many peoples long term riding locations. Sure, its nice to try a different place to ride, but I wonder how many people made a permanent change because if a rest ride on a reciprocal weekend. I think NH would be better off to offer a three day registration, for about half of the full year price. People could try the trails whichever weekend they like.

Nice job, that looks great.

With the hole at the very top of the tank, the risk is low, it won't be submerged in fuel all the time. Make sure you clean up any shreds of plastic when you are done, it should work fine.

This forum is the most sane, and I find I can generally get the best info here. HCS can be good, you have to wade through more junk. You can get some really bad advice there for sure. It's really hard to follow a conversation on Facebook, finding anything is nearly impossible. It's OK for some trail condition info, but nothing technical. I don't understand the draw of Facebook.

I believe I will be there Saturday, with my brother-in-law. May have a bigger group, my wife said she might be interested this year. She had knee replacement surgery last year, and will likely have the other one done in a few months. Sometimes she can walk better than others, so we will see later int the week. Early weather predictions are good, hopefully we will get a nice day to get out, walk around, and see come cool stuff.
