Wednesday February 1-4:49pm CST
Just got back from a 80 mile ride. Went from Ironwood on Trail 2 to 160 North to Lake Superior. (not bad) As soon as we crossed into Wisconsin on Trail 160 which turns into Wisconsin Trail 3 it was horrible and, no snow through Saxon Harbor all the way almost to the Frontier Bar. Got on Trail 2 to head back to Ironwood to Trail 7 to Trail 6 then back down to Trail 2. Then, Wisconsin Trail 2 got bad from Squeaks Bar all the way to Hurley with dirt in some spots. It is also 40 degrees today. I am holding off on riding until next week when "allegedly" we will get more snow. If you are planning to come up this weekend, you might do well to hold off a week. THe trails could be near destroyed with heavy traffic in next few days if we don't get cold and snow. I even snarled at someone in the store this morning in Ironwood when they said, "It is going to be a beautiful day, enjoy !" I replied, "I would enjoy this day if it was April 1 !!! This is February 1, WE WANT and NEED SNOW !!! (Remember, this trail report is only my opinion and only involves Ironwood to Saxon Harbor to Hurley Not, anywhere else.)

) However, I am holding hopes of later next week snow and cold. I am abandoning Ironwood in a couple hours to go to my daughters in Iron Mountain, then Chicago. When I come back Wednesday I hope the weather is "better". Especially, next weekend because 15 people are coming from Chicago to snowmobile. My 3 sleds sit patiently waiting. I am sure Ironwood will see snow again. I just hope the trails are not killed this weekend because alot of people are out sledding as I seen them and, can hear them. (Hurleys lower block was nearly full last night)
