Trail conditions for Trailwork

While pulling signs and inspecting trails in some known trouble spots, I've found some areas that will require some attention next fall. One in particular, the culverts we installed by the big suspension bridge are completely gone. It is evidenced that from the ramp to the bridge back to the other side of the culverts, was completely underwater. If anyone knows of any other conditions like this, please let me know.

Have a Happy Summer! (Summer Sucks!)

Another ride it, while we got it!

For the conditions we've had this year, I guess this past weekend is about as good as we're gonna' see it for this year. I saw a lot of sleds out, trying to enjoy what we had. All in all the trails were not that bad, offering a decent ride. Went out Sat. with chainsaw strapped on to clear some trees that had fallen before the snow. And just enjoyed the ride, myself (with the family of course) Sun. But, I guess it just can't last. Can only hope for another ride!

Think More Snow!

Missing Signs off S71A

It was reported to me by a couple of members of our trail crew, that some our signs were missing off of Bice Rd on S71A. At this point, I don't know if a landowner pulled them or if possibly a disgruntled neighbor. Either way we are looking into this and will re-route if needed. Please tread lightly in this area. With new snow falling and the possibility of the trails being open, we don't need a permanent closure!

Look back soon!

For what started out as a very promising season, has really turned and reared it's ugly head in retreat! Well either way we still have 6 weeks of a calender winter left, hopefully we can come up with something yet!

THINK SNOW!!!

Well, fortunately (and unfortunately) we got our summer-like weather after the holidays. We were able to get a crew together on a decent day and get our vacant bridge in off Cnty Hwy 44. Already having the posts set in place earlier, we were able to get the main carrier beams fabricated and set, we got the deck, railings and ramps attached and our bridge is ready for use. The local farmer has his corn harvested, although the corn stubble is a bit high, the section of trail that was temporarily closed, is now ready when we get our snow back! 7 members present 8:30-4:00

And a SPECIAL THANKS to those that made this happen!

As you are heading toward St Hwy 205 on S71A from Milford, the approach side of the bridge has a lot of surface water due to the recent snow melt and heavy rains, we can only hope for this year anyway, that we can get some deep freezes to tighten this area up a bit.

Think Snow!

Look Back Soon!
