Gaylord Area Trail Report – 03/25
Gaylord Bureau – <> http://www.gaylordmichigan.net/snowmobile-trail-report-114/ <> I was excited to see about 5 inches of new snow yesterday and decided I would get my sled out and go for a ride. There were several trees down on trail 7 from Frederic to Grayling but I made it around those with no issues. Where trail 7 comes to M72 by Tinkers I crossed hoping the gate would not be closed already this season and as luck would have it, it was open. The trail goes straight in and then a turn to the left. There are 3 power settings on my ski doo and I keep it in low most of the time. I saw water ahead and didnt figure it was an issue as I have done water skipping many times with no issues. Well after the hard left in the trail the water got deeper and I had no power and no time to switch it up 2 notches to performance mode. My belt got wet and that was it and there I was in the middle of the swamp. I figured it would be an all day ordeal but thankfully I called a friend who was there shortly with a couple of straps. He was smart enough to bring waders so I only got wet to the top of my boots. He pulled the sled to high ground where we let the water drain and then it fired right up. Still one more mud hole to cross but I had plenty of power and skipped right across. A big thanks to Jack for the rescue and I went home and had lunch and then rode back to Frederic. I still was the only tracks on the trail both ways from Frederic to Grayling. Pics below are from my ride and there are others in video on my Sledheads facebook page. All in all a great 40 mile late season ride along with a good story and memory. Thanks for checking in. Still six days of the sled season left.

Do not go outside unless you're in the open. The risk of loss of life from falling trees is high.

Crippling impacts from the significant freezing rain event continue today, even if some places breach 32°F, due to the sheer amount of ice that has built up on objects. Please see the attached graphics for the latest information. Stay safe, northern Michigan! 💚 #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
