'Nearly 100 of our nature preserves and reserves include at least a short trail, with more than 125 miles of trails in total,' said executive director Kieran Fleming in a June 12 statement. 'We appreciate your patience as we continue working to reopen them all as quickly and safely as possible.'
The conservancy thanked the volunteers, local businesses, Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation and Charlevoix County Community Foundation for their help as clean-up efforts continue.

Uber Adds Rental Car Delivery and Discounted Airport Rides Before July 4 Weekend Surge
With AAA forecasting that a record-breaking 72 million Americans will travel during the week of July 4, ride-hailing and delivery company Uber is launching various updates to make summer vacations more seamless. Uber is significantly expanding its rental-car delivery service, introducing new airport options for ride-sharing and prescheduled pickups, and adding more flexibility for hotel food deliveries. Read also: Uber's Simplified App for Seniors Is Launching Nationwide Car rental dropoff expands Uber One of the biggest updates is the expansion of Uber Rent -- the service's car-rental department -- by adding car delivery, which allows users to have a rental car dropped off at their home, office or hotel. This summer, the service is rolling out to 15 additional US cities, including Dallas, Phoenix, Charlotte and Las Vegas, bringing the total to 24 cities nationwide. Travelers can book a rental car as little as 2 hours in advance or up to six months ahead. Uber also notes that there's no fee to cancel, as long as it's at least 2 hours before the scheduled drop-off. More affordable airport rides Uber is also expanding Uber Share at Airports, a carpool-style option where travelers heading to or from the airport can share a ride with one other passenger and save up to 25% compared to a standard UberX, which is the regular Uber tier. Even if no match is found, riders still pay the discounted rate. This feature is now available at more than 40 additional airports, including Chicago Midway, Nashville, Washington Reagan, and international cities like Paris, Lisbon and Stockholm. Enhanced hotel food delivery Uber The company is adding new delivery options for travelers relying on Uber Eats while staying at hotels. Users can now select how they want their food dropped off: meeting the courier in the lobby, having the food left at the front desk or requesting direct delivery to their hotel room doorway. Travelers staying at Marriott properties can also now earn Marriott Bonvoy points on Uber Eats orders, provided their loyalty account is linked in the app. More airport pickup options in the suburbs Uber is also expanding its Reserve Airport Pickup feature to 70 more airports in the US and Canada, with a focus on smaller towns and suburban destinations such as Reno, Green Bay and Sarasota. Reserve rides can be scheduled in advance, a convenience for travelers flying into areas with fewer transit options. These updates are arriving just in time for one of the busiest travel weeks of the year. Additional changes are listed in the Uber Newsroom post.

All the Ways to Skip the Lines at Florida Theme Parks This Summer
Skipping the line at Orlando's biggest theme parks isn't as hard as it used to be. Take the recent experiences of Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based retail manager Allison George, who visited Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Florida with her family in 2022 and again this past April. 'At Universal, Express Pass lines were almost as long as the standby lines,' she recalls about her 2022 trip—at the time it was company policy to dole out free line-skipping passes at numerous Universal-affiliated hotels. 'Getting 'FastPasses' at Disney World,' meanwhile, 'meant waking up at the crack of dawn each morning to fight over a very limited number of time slots.' She left both parks disappointed but willing to try again.
