Heads up, somebody had a major party in the LMP North parking lot last night. I picked up as best I could. Lots of wine, scotch, vodka bottles and beer cans tossed all over. Plastic cups and somebody dropped a chocolate cake in the middle of the parking lot. It’s too bad you can’t nab these yahoo’s!

We have trails back! The parking lot is not cleaned up yet but it is usable. The trails have matted down some what. Sage was having a blast playing in the new snow.

The road (Farmer Rd) in is plowed however the parking lot is not. One truck got in there but it looked pretty dicey! We tried to walk down the trail but it was pretty hard going. So we cut it short today.

We'll we dodged the storm on Christmas Day. But no so lucky on Boxing Day. I don't think that we will be out for a walk today. It's going to take awhile to get dug out and chances are the road won't be open anyways. Please be careful if you do have to go someplace.

A Very Merry Christmas to all! The main trails are all plowed and the secondary ones are all matted down. Hopefully the storm predicted tomorrow misses us. Be very careful if you have to travel if the wind and snow get going!

The rain has such made everything bloom and green up real fast. What a fantastic smell from the Dogwoods. The trails are in very good shape, not to muddy at all. One thing, somebody dumped sparkly things right at the corner of Quarry and Aspen trails. It's going to take a while to clean that up. Tape should do the job, maybe?

A couple of things today.
First, the City did a burn in and around the area of the small east field.
Second, the trails have dried up nicely. There are still a few mud holes along the center area of the Golf Course trail so be aware of that.
Third thing, the Crocus's are still blooming around the quarry and I've seen a few along the Quarry trail field.
The fourth thing hurts a lot. On our walk yesterday. I found that somebody had a bonfire in the fire pit on the Ridge trail. The people cut down two healthy trees. I've passed this along to the Parks branch.
