Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/18
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/17 Brutal winter, Got a great ride in yesterday but it was brutal, snow , 2 to 3 feet, deep. Off trail even with a long track got buried several times. Snow like this is just incredible especially with the past few years with hardly any. I started out of Sledheads and headed to the apple orchard to cut across to another trail, almost stuck right away and I was by myself. Got back to the road in a hurry cause I would still be stuck out there. Not where I wanted to spend the night. Anyways today very c old and windy, its 12:30 now and only seen a few sleds. Well almost time for me to plow again so thanks for checking in. Pics below from yesterdays ride. Thanks for checking in.

Its a nice and calm 16 degrees in Frederic this thursday morning. I had a great ride yesterday leaving Sledheads and heading off to the west. Trail 679 was great and all the way to Starvation Lake was great, then on to Alba and the Jordan Valley Trail. Rode the valley trail and it was a little ripply but not horrible. From there to Elmira with a stop to see Larry at Sevenski Inn. Had a great talk with Larry, he is 91 and still running that place. He said he was going to get his loader started to move some more snow. He said he is just glad he can do that at his age. He looks darn good for 91 and it was very nice to have a talk with him... #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Occasional snow showers are expected through the weekend with a steady warming trend.
