Midsommar!

Welcome Summer! The days are getting shorter. Just doesn’t seem right; but here we are. The spring flowers have done their part, the mid-summer flowers are out and busy. Our nearly 3 weeks of rainless weather has suppressed the biting bug population to a very tolerable level. It’s definitely time to enjoy these wonderful days north of the 45th parallel.
Trail projects continue to be worked on and planned in between getting away and doing other types of recreation. The colored stakes are getting planted along the trails to help identify each separate route. The portals are beginning to shape up and we’ll have an example standing soon in Western Montreal. There is still talk about a young person ‘scavenger hunt’ for late summer or early fall. The county Forestry Department is preparing to spend some time on the Pence-Hoyt Rd section as the fiscal year turns.
And, of course there’s wind-fall to clean off the trail.
Get out there! Bike. Hike. Paddle. Fish. Camp. Don’t wait for winter, it’s on its way. What a place to live in! Enjoy your fair share.
Take a Hike! Z
