Have not.
I like my beer to taste like beer.

I would not have even tried to venture around that mess. I hated to do some cleaner water crossings.

Here’s a pic of the waterhole just northeast of the bear trap (pic not taken by me) supposedly beavers built a dam there causing this issue View attachment 70512

We've been going up to the East since the late 80's, on an early December trip, that hole is there almost every year, the Beavers can cause a lot of damage the little bastards! There has been a lot of people hurt here, it has been just a small dip in the past that caught a lot of people off guard while hauling ass down that section of trail.

Dang beavers. They took over 30 of my 23 year old trees and an 8” oak - dropped it right on the dock. DNR gave me permission to harvest, so the population here IS down.

You have a sled addiction, so you buy cheap beer to support your real addiction!

Pulled into the Voyaguers Motel in Grand Marais around 3pmE and hopped on the sleds around 4. Took the scenic route down to Andys Seney Bar for some fish, and back. Was a quick and excellent 97 miles! Trail 43 on Seneys system was easily a 10/10, that trail was an absolute blast and was 20 miles each way. Everything we rode in Grand Marais system id rate a 7.5/10. Some slight chop on the heavily trafficked trails, seems like when the rain and warm temps started early this week, the trails were a little bumpy, and then the base froze rock hard. Over the last 3 days they’ve received 6-8”, so no lubricantion issues after the rain/warmup. Was an excellent ride tonight, can’t wait for tomorrow’s

Looks like a pink helmet so probably momma with him.

Must be some decent snow depth there, if you look in the 1st picture way in the background on the right side the trail sign is almost buried.

Good catch! I didn’t pick up on that

Yep, was just me and the woman this trip, I did bring up the little man’s 600 ace to test out and I’m glad I did as it has a major misfire issue…

Rode southwest from GM this morning then headed towards Seney and took 440 instead of 43. Both are EXCELLENT trails. Then when we crossed M77 started heading northeast to Pine Stump. The first half of that jaunt is Seneys trail and it was pretty darn good. Second half was TASAs and doesn’t look like a groomers touched that in over a week. Rough 10-15 miles… after eating a small lunch and pine stump, we headed towards paradise to take a small loop and then back towards Grand Marais. The southern part of that loop was plowed for logging but had enough snow to keep cool. The northern half of that loop was one of the funnest trails I’ve ever taken. Unfortunate halfway during that loop we ran into a really bad accident, guy wrapped a sled completely around a tree. We were a minute behind the accident. He was very lucky to be alive. After helping them out we headed back, thanks to GPS I saved the last 5 miles of trail into town by taking a road as both our fuel lights had been on for 10+ miles (oops). Overall, 130 miles, and EXCELLENT day! Enjoy the pics
