Grayling Trail Report – Fay’s Motel – 01/11
Greetings Sledders, Not much going on right now although we had a pretty full parking lot over the weekend and all of those that we talked to reported good to great rides once again. Kudos to our jockeys for doing a great job of grooming in a replenishing snow starved environment and for being delicate with what we have. It’s a tricky thing to accomplish considering the literal mass of the machinery that we drive through the woods. Their efforts are going to be rewarded tomorrow as we are going to shut down grooming for a day and take a group ride on the smaller, faster machines and head for Tally’s in Lewiston where I will deliver their Dec. paychecks which amounts to a burger, an order of fries and a Coke, or iced tea, whatever as long it ain’t beer. The fries and Coke are actually their retro-active Christmas bonuses. Believe it or not these guys will be happy at the end of the day because we do this insane function for you and because we like to. TIME TO FIRE IT UP: WEATHER: GROOMING: TRAILS: Ride Often and Please Be Safe, At Fay’s Motel enjoy direct access to the Grayling Area snowmobile trails.
This will become the topic of every reporter’s choice in the days to come. We don’t have a complete handle on what’s in store for us and it’s painfully obvious after watching the 6:00 news that the local professional prognosticators are equally in the dark. A warm up is emanate. To what degree and to what extent the Sun will play a part are the uncertainties at this point. We can tolerate a 30 degree day as long as the Sun stays behind cloud cover, a 30 degree day with the Sun on high beam with a clear sky is a completely different story.
Down tomorrow and back in the saddle Wed. as long as the aforementioned weather thingy doesn’t cut us off at the knees. Have to wait and see.
Best advice here is to ride now!! Things could get ugly at pretty much anytime in the near future.
Keith, Sandy and The Girls
