Classic November weather in place, albeit a bit warmer than average. We’ve returned to a cycle with moisture with around 2″ of much welcomed precipitation the past two weeks. (no snow) This week we finished the clearing of the trail system with Bullhead Lake trail and Bootleg extension being cleared. We will continue touching up trails until the snow flies and stays for good!
Note: The trails are closed for the upcoming deer hunting season and will open again Thanksgiving week, weather permitting. (consistent cold weather with frozen ground and hopefully snow!)
It has been a great fall for trail work and we will continue working on the trails near the Maplelag property until the ground freezes and snow flies for good and stays! We try to have the trails as cleared as possible so the frost can set when cold temperatures come and we can groom and open the trails on minimal snow.
November rainfall total at .75″. 2.55″ rainfall in October. Total rainfall in September at .44″. August rainfall at 3.2″. Rainfall the month of July at 5.71″. Total rainfall in June at 7.56″. It was also a very wet month of May with right around 8″ of rain. Since January 1st, we have received almost 29″ of rain.
