			<title>Trail conditions for Trailwork</title>
			<link>http://www.milfordsnowtrekkers.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080509-052800</link>
			<description><![CDATA[While pulling signs and inspecting trails in some known trouble spots, I&#039;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.<br /><br />Have a Happy Summer!              (Summer Sucks!)<br /><br />Jim ]]></description>

			<title>Another ride it, while we got it!</title>
			<link>http://www.milfordsnowtrekkers.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080304-184415</link>
			<description><![CDATA[For the conditions we&#039;ve had this year, I guess this past weekend is about as good as we&#039;re gonna&#039; 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&#039;t last.  Can only hope for another ride!<br /><br />Think More Snow!<br />Jim]]></description>

			<title>Missing Signs off S71A</title>
			<link>http://www.milfordsnowtrekkers.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080213-041441</link>
			<description><![CDATA[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&#039;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&#039;t need a permanent closure!<br /><br />Look back soon!<br />Jim  ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For what started out as a very promising season, has really turned and reared it&#039;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!<br /><br />THINK SNOW!!!<br />Jim]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[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<br /><br />And a SPECIAL THANKS to those that made this happen!  <br /><br />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.<br /><br />Think Snow!<br /><br />Look Back Soon!<br />Jim    <img src="images/100_4036.JPG" width="512" height="387" border="0" alt="" /> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hope everyone had a happy holiday season!  Was busy around the holidays trying to get some of my own stuff caught up and a few other club items taken care of.<br /><br />Have been caught up with by the DEC about riding in and through the State Land area around Arnold&#039;s Lake.  Through numerous conversations and meetings with the senior forester, we are allowed a trail through.  This is now in danger due to the fact people are using the cross-country ski-trail.  This cannot happen, everyone must stay on the designated trail!  We now have been allowed to sign this trail to eliminate any further confusion.  So PLEASE STAY ON DESIGNATED TRAIL, we don&#039;t need this shut down and most of all, YOU WILL GET TICKETED AND FINED!, if caught on ski-trail or in a reforestation area. <br /><br />Hopefully we will get our snow back and be riding soon!<br /><br />THINK SNOW!  TRAILS CLOSED UNDER 6&quot; OF SNOW!<br /><br />Look back soon!<br />Jim<br /><br />]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Maybe problems posting are too much content or just timing out, will investigate!<br /><br />Work crews were out Sat. and Sun., trying to get signage completed, mostly remaining on trail S71F.<br /><br />The entry off of the seasonal road to the State Land pond was blocked by the DEC to prevent four wheel drive vehicles from going in to the pond area and using it as their own mud pit!  The DEC has allowed us to make an opening, but has limited us to just over 5&#039;.  Please use CAUTION here.  I went up to add another sign for safety in both directions and someone has already hit and/or purposely bent one of the posts marking off the man-sized rocks used as a barricade! Trails don&#039;t officially open until 12/19!  Again USE CAUTION here!<br /><br />Look back soon!<br />Jim]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Still having posting problems, have  written this thing out 6 times and it drops it everytime.<br /><br />Bridge off Cnty 44 will be closed for the season, unless we have some unexpected summer like weather after the holidays.  The local farmer still has corn on both sides of the bridge and we do not have the deck on. The re-route is marked, use Extreme Caution crossing the road bridge due to limited visibility!  <br />   RESPECT LANDOWNER and STAY on TRAIL!  ]]></description>
