Dear Members, I would like to start by saying that I hope everyone had a happy holiday season and everyone is ready to begin the new year. Over the last few months NYTRO Chapters have been enjoying the end of the year with it’s activities and events. We begin another year of NYTRO with more adventure and more fun! Renewals are approaching on April 30th this year and we hope each and everyone of you will be happy to renew your membership with NYTRO. More information and renewal forms will be posted in the next newsletter. As you may be aware the NYTRO newsletter has been extremely late lately, and that is due to a family illness. Good news is that they are on the way to a wonderful recovery and it is my hopes to set focus back to the newsletter and NYTRO. With this I close this letter with the hopes and wishes that all is well with you and your family. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me. ~Joanne NYTRO NEWS Page 1 CHAPTER NEWS Chapter Meetings NYTRO Western Chapter Meeting : Meeting time is 7 pm on the second Thursday of every month.

Also I am planning a ride at Spraul State Forest in PA. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/atv/atvindex.aspx Winter ATV trails open Jan.16 2005 in which I plan on going with a couple people for the day on that Sunday. Any one interested in going feel free to give me a call (585) 370-0331. Tony Alu - Central Chapter FYI - Mike Sanders from the Western Chapter has decided not to seek re-election for his positions this year. He currently holds the position as Executive Director for the Western Chapter and Secretary for NYTRO, Inc. NYTRO, Inc. would like to say “Thank You, Mike” for all you hard work and dedication over the years to NYTRO. It’s members like Mike that help make us what we are today. Below is Mike’s message: I’m writing this now so there will be time before elections for people to decide what they want to do. I will not be seeking re-election next year for any of the positions I hold now. I know I’ll be very busy at work the next two years and will not have the time for NYTRO. I will do all I can to help out the new officers and be available by e-mail or phone for anyone with questions. If anyone wants to talk to me about an officer’s position feel free to e-mail me at mikeannesanders@adelphia.net or call 716 9419559. Thank you all for the work and support you have given NYTRO over the years, and I expect you to do the same for the new officers. Mike NYTRO NEWS Page 2 NYTRO NEWS Page 3 2005 Maine ATV trips - Eastern Ridge Adventures Eastern Ridge Adventures, a Maine guide service, is starting a wilderness ATV program. This would include a six day ATV trip with all meals included. This letter is to discuss with ATV clubs the interest and desire of such recreational trips. So please respond to how often your members do trips like these and what type of interest your club members may have to participate in this service. Clients would need to bring their own ATV's. It will entail a six day wilderness trip on Maine's trail system. We will visit 15-20 different lakes, camp on the trails, fish, swim, and have a hell of a time riding. We would plan our stops accordingly for gas and would have food drop offs by our staff at predetermined destinations along the trails. Our base camp would be in Northfield where our guide service is located. These will be affordable trips which friends and family members could enjoy together. Please visit our web- site at http://www.blackbearhunting.us/ to see that we are an established guide service who is looking to meet the demands of the outdoor enthusiast! The price of these trips will only be $500 per person, and we are looking to take groups of 15 people. Please give us your thoughts and other needs that would make a trip like this better. Thank you, Joshua Rhodes Eastern Ridge Adventures (207)255-6307 4 wheel drive/Offroading/ATVs I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and share with you some exciting news about ATV'ing that may be of interest to you and your club members.
