Great Riding
The trails were groomed last night for the first time this season. We enjoyed their hard and cold work making the trails alot of fun.

We headed north on 7, turning onto trail 4 just past Dodge Lake Road. This trail has been signed now.

It really looks dark and stormy from this pic which was taken approx 1 pm… we did get a few flurries from the dark cloud. This is the marker for Lakes of the North, trail 4 trail. We are on trail 7… this is where it turns to the west to head to Lakes of the North.

Picture of trail 7 under the dark cloud.

We were definitely not under any dark clouds as we were riding. It was fun! .. trails are in good condition. Trail 4 had a few short areas where we could see the dirt. And we have had strong winds this past week and had to dodge a few branches that had come down. Other than that, nothing to complain about…. we also took trail 7 into Gaylord. Great fun ride!

I pouted a little bit this afternoon because we didn’t get to ride as long as I wanted. . . even with it being so cold it was just alot good old fashioned snow fun!! Love being on my sled, especially enjoying good trails.

Other riders enjoyed going north and then heading west thru Chandler Hills. They said you couldn’t go too much further north from that point snow was getting very  thin. Jordan Valley was a good ride also per another rider.

We’re watching the skies for more snow – because well we can always use more  snow. and more snow.

Hi All, we have had several riders this last weekend and week and are reporting some areas nice and some are thin. 12-13-10 I talked to the grooming Coordinators for Irons and Baldwin and the operators are out grooming 12-13-10 and 12-14-10. Wellston and Benzie/Manistee also have groomed 12-13-10 and 12-14-10. Groomer operators are saying curvy areas do have snirt and straight areas are fairly nice for early season riding, but the ground still isn’t frozen, so conditions can change fast. Forecast is for more snow and cold, with a Clipper system on 12-17-10, so this week and weekend should be nice. (Notice: I said should be.)

Our On site Snowmobile rentals are ready to go for the season on December 1st, weather permitting. Plus we do have gift certificates available for that hard to buy for person. Get them an ATV, Snowmobile Rental or Lake Front room Gift Certificate. They will love it.

We are members of the Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan (Motorcycle and ORV Club), Baldwin Trailriders Snowmobile Club, Irons Area Tourist Association (ATV and Snowmobile Club), Wellston Area Recreation and Tourist Bureau (Snowmobile Club), Benzie-Manistee Snowbirds (Snowmobile Club), Lake County ORV Club and the Michigan Snowmobile Association. These are the local grooming clubs, in which we help support all of your favorite sports. When I go to an area, I always buy the new map for the season from the local snowmobile or ORV club. Trails may change and so do the maps. But I always spend my hard earned money, only with the businesses that support my sport. All those advertisers on the Snowmobile or ORV Club maps are the people, that help make those trails possible for all of us to ride. Just my two cents.
