GOOD
Atlanta Gas Price
as of 6/10/09
$2.84 for 87 octane


Recent rains have snuffed the dust along the trails and really brought out the spring foilage.  ORV Trail Maps are found at the Montmorency County Tribune and some other retailers in the area.
   After a bout of cool daytime highs, a warming trend is due by this weekend bringing daytime high temps in the mid to upper 70's under fair skies. Should be a great weekend for some outdoor fun and relaxation. A nice prelude to the first day of summer kickin' in on the 21st.
 Take a note on the daggone tent caterpillar nests. An awful year for those crawly critters.
   Momma deer should be dropping their little bambies about now, so please keep your eyes peeled while along the trails and highways. Give the newbies a chance at life, eh?

   Watch your dogs for the skunks and porkies that seem to appear out of nowhere to grace their stuff on your beloved mutties. 

We're in the season of change and the land seems happy. Take advantage of this moment of transition.

Any significant changes in conditions, the Trail Report will be updated as warranted. 
Should this Trail Report not be updated   when you visit this page,  check out the National Weather Service site out of Gaylord for the Atlanta area 7-day forcast to see what's in the immediate forcast as well as current weather conditions.
