Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/05
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/05 And another 8 to 10 inches overnight, and thats on top of yesterdays snow. My ride was fantaastic yesterday, rode up to Gayord and on to INdian River, trail was a little snirty just south of Wolverine but still good, On to Alanson and thru town, got gas and then headed up thru Brutus, Pellston and on to Mackinaw City. Didnt see a single sled on that 25 or 30 mile stretch and there was s foot of wet heavy snow on it. There was only one sled track on it and thankfully it packed it down some for me. In to Mackinaw City and could barely see the bridge with the blowing and snowing. Took a couple pics there and then on to the Key Hole for lunch. Took me 4 hours to get there and was 83 miles total. Usually I make it up there in 2.5 hours. On ward and south from there to Cheboygan and stopped for gas in INdian River and ran into Sam Jackson and Mike there. Made it back to Frederic a little after 8 at 165 miles for a great first ride loop of the season. I plowed again this morning here in Frederic and weather looks like warm up coming. Hopefully not enough to melt us off. Thanks for checking in.

It was up to 38 again yesterday and it softened things up but then very cold last night and that made everything ruttty and hard. I have had 3 sleds in here this morning that said they were getting hot and thats because they arent getting snow up in there to lube them up.Its now up to 21 degrees so that may help get things lubing again. First thing this morning there 3 guys all on old XLT’s. Havent seen 3 of them together in a long time. We might get a little snow later today according to weather. Thanks for checking in.

I got here just after nine and there were about 15 or so sleds lined up at the swamp heading out for a pretty large group ride. Yesterday it was up to 41 and gave us more melting and settling than I would like to see but things have held up pretty well. Not sure what today is going to do. Wednesday things were so perfect and thursday was good too.
