A quick update

I haven't posted for a while but it doesn't mean we are not here.  Quite the contrary.  Yep canoes and kayaks are still floating despite the drought.  We shut off river tubes a while back due to low flow more than low depth of water.  The rain we got two nights ago is causing the river to rise a little........not a raging river by any means but we'll take every inch we can get!

Paintball groups keep on coming and the campgrounds still have campers every weekend.  Last weekend was the 24 & 12 & 6 hour mountain bike race........

Tomorrow is the Dragoon River Romp with about 200 volunteers picking up garbage in and along the river from Highway 30 boat ramp to the E57 boat ramp.........followed by a meal in the lodge.  Looks like the weather is going to be ideal tomorrow.  Geez I wish people would NOT throw their old tires and old stoves into the river!!!!

Had a meeting today with 41 North Racing........you know the guys that put on the Adventure Race consisting of canoeing, trekking and running....oh and orienting too.......with participants choosing the 8 hour course or the 12 hour course that takes them all over the county!  Their second Boonecrusher is being planned for April 2013.

Loaded all the materials from the Gladiator race that was here this past spring onto a semi..........destined for Wisconsin for their Gladiator Challenge coming up in a couple weeks.        Yep.......we will be hosting another Gladiator Challenge here in May 2013.........WOW.......

Kris finished servicing all the snow making guns.........chairlift grips have all been tested for this year.........and we spent a couple hours today planning the Annual Seven Oaks Season Pass Sale and Equipment Swap that will be held on Sunday October 21............which will be here before you know it.  Check out the other resorts that are part of the Seven Oaks Sister Ski Program this season.........

Later..........
