We got a lot more rain then I thought we were going to get. We didn’t get the 2-4′ that was supposed to precede the rain. Snow in my yard settled some, roads are crazy icy. Not sure how much damage was done to the trail. Will check later this this evening.

Pond Hockey:
The 7th year of the LaBatt Blue UP Pond Hockey Championships is on for Feb 15-17th, and will be held on the Bay downtown St. Ignace. Over 170 teams are signed up for the 2nd largest tourney in the country. 30 rinks are currently under construction. This year the beer/warming tent will be on the beach next to the bay to keep your feet try. Ice bowling and a bon fire between the tent and rinks give something for everyone to do. Live entertainment throughout the day. Hope to see you there!
