Sorry I have been off a few days but I was on a big adventure and couldnt update but on the bright side conditions are better than they have been in many years and maybe even more snow coming. I had to get the loader to pile my snow at Sledheads and down at my storage lot where now I have room for a few more trailers if you want to leave one here. Big John and his buddy Trent from Lost Timber Ranch left on their adventure yesterday morning with there first stop at Sledheads and rode 204 miles up to Soo St Marie for their first night on the trail. They took the shuttle across the Big Mac bridge and luckily that was before the bridge was shut down yesterday due to high winds. Next overnight stop is gonna be at my favorite spot at the Superior Hotel in Grand Marais. I wish I was with them. Everyone I have talked to this week has been saying how great the trails are and that we havent seen conditions like this in a long time. So have fun, ride safe and stop in and ask me about my trip this week. Thanks for checking in and look at how high the loader made my snow pile in the pic below.
