A wet end to the week with just over an inch of rain Wednesday evening until Saturday evening. Cooler temps as well as the thermometer has had a hard time getting above the mid 40’s. The leaves are holding on to the trees better than expected after wind and rain. We are experiencing a latter than usual peak of Fall color. Many trees around Maplelag have already reached their peak but still many leave just starting to display some beautiful color. This week we mapped all the trails with a gps and will download the data and work up a new map, working with one of the local DNR foresters.
The trails are open for hiking, running, and biking but closed to motorized use and horse travel. Work will continue on the trails until the snow flies.

First hard frost of the Fall happening Tuesday morning after cold front moving through on Sunday and Monday leaving a half inch of rain. Temp dropping down to 30 degrees setting up ice on the windshields and white lawns and roofs. Always exciting to see the first hard frost as a reminder winter isn’t too far behind!! The grounds and trails around Maplelag are looking great with the peak of Fall color beginning and one of the best times of the year to be in the woods. The trails are open for hiking, biking and running but closed to motorized use and horses.
This week we are mapping all the trails with a gps and working on a new trail map with plans to have completed by winter. Also clearing deadfall and mowing throughout the Fall as we prepare the trails to be in the best condition possible before the snow flies.
Scrapping ice off the windshield Tuesday morning. I doubt there are many people that would take a picture like this and most people shiver and grumble when they have to do this but at Maplelag it brings smiles to our faces!
