Ray’s Retreat – January 30
Beautiful trails. (Photo taken before the warm-up)

So quickly things can change. As we headed to Traverse City this morning the trails were beautiful. Freshly groomed, smooth. The trees were frosted.
It was a totally different scene when we came home. Traverse City reached 52 degrees. Gaylord was 46. The sun came out about noon and started the melt down. The trail along the Mancelona Rd was showing alot of dirty mud. Still snow in woods and the trail right out in front of us is still looking like snow, but melting, soft.
The forecast shows mild temps for the next week and sunshine. Its not looking good.
