We've got a few trail, shop and/or implement updates happening here. Hows your summer going?? I'll post photos if that helps. Was quite dry here but we finally got a good rain last night. |

We had a little rain here over the weekend which caused a flash flood. The county was severely damaged and bridge after bridge lost and even seen some deaths when a basement collapsed.. We were declared a disaster area today. We lost 6 out of 7 bridges on our system. Even the 2yo one that weighed about 17000 lbs went south. (not pictured here) Oh well.

Wow! Sorry to hear your area was hit so hard. Good luck to you all rebuilding (both the communities and your trail systems). My only update is adding a winch to the Ranger. |

We spoke with some engineers who heard the storm was rated a 1000 year event. Over 60 rd bridges were lost. Lots of photos are on the clubs and dogs blog. A kid was crushed, when there homes basement wall collapsed. Here is the bridge location that we installed, just a few years back. Note the tree on the right was stripped of bark. The 2nd photo is the bridge, 400ft downstream. Edited by arly, Jun 20 2018, 08:24 AM.

Mike has prompted me to do a little report FEMA was walking around town yesterday and we happen to see them walking in the gorge, where we lost all our bridges in. The county seen about 150 million in damages. Work on our trails has began and the pedestrian bridge was drug back and put back up on cribbing. It needs to be installed on posts and placed higher than what you see in it. A volunteer from Heavy response coalition come out with his tractor and helped our trails for a day. He wants to come back and do more this fall!!! Lots more photos can be has here. Yes we need a tractor.https://keweenawnordicskiclub.blogspot.com/ Edited by arly, Jun 27 2018, 01:01 PM.
