It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Rose Bos on June 8th, 2026. Rose was an extraordinary individual, holding the remarkable record of completing 94 Shore to Shore crossings, even well into her 80s. Many of us will fondly recall her presence on the trails. She will forever be remembered as a legend within the MTRA. A memorial service will be held at noon on Friday, June 19, 2026, with visitation from 10:30 AM to 11:45 AM prior to the service at Central Park Reformed Church, located at 614 Myrtle Ave. Holland, Michigan.

The images provided illustrate a before and after comparison. It is quite important to trim back the brush from the trail to prevent branches from obstructing one's path. Additionally, this maintenance should alleviate the need for further trimming for a couple of years. Please note the post with the trail marker on it. It was not visible in the "before" image.

To those who were intending to assist with the Mayhem Swamp this weekend, please be advised that the event has been postponed until a later date. This decision was made due to the significant rainfall that has already occurred and the additional precipitation anticipated, which has resulted in the swamp being entirely submerged.
