So your numbers just proved that NH is more expensive then ME even without the added club fee for residents. But that really doesn’t make any difference because what drove us to ME was the 45 mph speed limit and the very limited off trail riding in NH.
As for my decision to no longer volunteer I'll live with any shortfalls.
But remember it’s a lot easier to criticize others when you probably help out in your local area, while we were driving 250 miles just to get to the club. And seeing the same people every time made me rethink my decision to help.
Also one thing that is very different from my experiences in ME. The local business owners who benefit from the influx of business tend to donate most if not all of the materials for bridges, excavating projects etc as well as gas money for the groomers.
