The ride was a loop on Xcriss-Xcross to Lighting Strike around down Kirby’s Folly to out to the road on Sink Hole Highway. All trails where is good shape and Xcriss-Xcross was outstanding, good enough we did it twice. The double track trails are in great shape and hiking, mountain biking is good to great on all of them.

Forecast for the rest of the week and through the weekend is sunny and clear. Come enjoy, and get away from it all at the Tuonela Wilderness Resort.

The magic of the moment lingers… my first time every seeing such a spectacular show of nature.

A healthy sign of our bio- diversity and healthy forest.

Go out and play,

Learn how to attract some of these helpful critters to your backyard.

1. Cut down or eliminate using chemicals on you lawn.

2. Reduce any “extra lighting” (photic noise) on your property, as this light interferes with the fireflies luminous signals (i.e., it is harder for fireflies of many species to locate mates in such areas). Also many firefly species are active only during a certain period of the evening. These insects determine when they will flash (i.e., the time of night) by the intensity of ambient light. This is why you don’t see many fireflies flashing on clear nights when the moon is full.

3. Additionally, low overhanging trees, tall grass or similar vegetation will provide adult fireflies a place to rest during the day and remain cool.

While these tips may not guarantee you success in attracting fireflies to your yard, they may certainly improve the odds….
