Munising Area Trail Report – 12/16
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 12/16 Trail Report has been posted. Warm Temps have grooming operations on hold. Expected to be grooming Wednesday evening based on weather guesser predictions. We are seeing issues with the John Deere 6175 and the 6155. A john Deere technician will be here with the needed parts in hand Wednesday morning. The 6175 had a code pop up Saturday. The tech thinks we have a pump failing. It seems it can be replaced easily from under the tractor after removing the drive shaft. It is an external pump. See picture of code we have. The 6155 has issues with the front blade module – controller. We repaired all of the physical damage. Now we have electrical stuff going on. The tech is bringing all of the parts that could possibly be causing the issues. Our hope is this machine will be good to go Wed night as well. Last Friday night we attended an appreciation dinner hosted by The H58 Snow Cocks. It was a good time. They provided dinner, drinks, and sweatshirts for the groomer operators. We cant thank them enough! The steaks were huge and very tasty. 5 of us were able to make it out. We got to hang out with folks from several clubs in the area. Seney, Grand Marais, Curtis, Newberry, and a few others. It was great to exchange some war stories. We are all a part of the Eastern UP Motorized trail association. We meet monthly. This organization has been the best source of mentorship for us. These folks really know what they are doing and have many years of experience. We always are here for them and the same goes for them being there for us. Parts exchanges, mechanical knowledge sharing, grooming for one another when we have breakdowns. We all face the same challenges. ALGER SORVA DECEMBER MONTHLY MEETIGN IS BEING CANCELLED. The next meeting will be January 21 <> <> REGIONAL TRAIL REPORTS Visit Alger County SORVA Facebook Page >>>> <> Visit Alger County SORVA Trail Report >>>> <> Visit TNT Trenary Northern Trails Facebook Page >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Quiet weather is expected today as highs climb into the 40s with increasing clouds through the day.

The attached pictures are from Sat night when we were able to groom in the BearTrap to the BearsDen down in Shingleton. It was a frozen up and locked in nice. Hope this melt down does not set us back too much. We should be able to get to a normal grooming schedule on this trail. Alger County Sorva on Facebook
