It's hard to believe, but mid June is already here! We ended up opening for a weekend in mid May for several clubs, which was earlier than planned. That Friday evening 5" of snow fell across the Northwoods... making for an entertaining day of wheeling.

So far this year we have seen a dramatic increase of visitors which unfortunately conincided with the closure of McCaslin Mountain. While it is discourgaing to have another wheeling location closed, the hidden blessing for us is that many have visited who prior had always kept with past routines (which didn't include NOL). We have gotten very good feedback from people so far this year.

As to trails, we are working on extending the yellow trails and are continuing the concept of having a continuous loop of yellow. Right now the newest addition of the trail ends to the northwest of the covered bridge. I hope to get it to the north edge of the park yet this summer.

So far in June it looks like the two weekends will be at less than 50% of capacity and we have almost no reservations for the July 4th holiday. This trend confirms our decision to limit the open weekends and on the personal side has been a big improvement for our family. Please don't assume we're full on holiday weekends! Call to find out.

The March of Dimes Director, Luana Schneider contacted us this week to discuss the 4 Wheelin' With Feelin' ralley in October. We are pleased to announce that NOL will once again be honored to host the event.

Hope to see you in the park (tires down of course... Cowboy).

Sincerely,
Jeremy
