Beautiful day on Saturday. Great to see the sunshine and dry weather return after a wet Thursday and Friday. Total precipitation during the 48 hour period around 2″. Consistent rainfall this summer keeping the grounds and woods lush and green. A few signs of fall emerging in the forest including a handful of trees starting to change and acorns starting to fall to the ground. The next few months some of our favorite months outside the winter season. Overall, the summer has been slightly above precipitation with average temperatures at Maplelag main for great conditions for trail work.
We have been busy on the ski and mountain bike trails mowing/brushing and constantly clearing deadfall and cutting/splitting firewood. A few storms and wind events this summer bringing down the usual amount of trees, no structural damage to any buildings.
The woods are very lush and green and vibrant with wildflowers and an incredible variety of mushrooms.
