Cooler weather in place this week. Has been nice for working in the woods. It has been busy month of July clearing trees off the trails after strong winds over 80mph brought down 100’s of tree on the Maplelag property during the “Solstice Storm”. We have cleared nearly 300 trees on the trails so far. We were able to get the 25 mile “LagChilada” mountain bike course open a week after the storm. We are extremely grateful for the professional crew that helped us out. Thank you!
The woods look a little different in areas but wildlife has been back on the move and an interesting variety of mushrooms and lichens popping up along the forest floor as well as the usual wildflowers.
Support the trails! Day and season pass purchases help us offset costs to maintain the trails. Thanks everyone for the support.
