If your heading over to Nahtaka or Oak Grove and want to see how one gets around without using the trails then contact me. Also heading up tomorrow.

Well we got 38 degrees and rain here in lovely downtown irons. I got one heck of a wet mess to move out of the driveway, so the propane truck can get into my place.

 

[sledneck]

Do you think the trails held up today? or are they a big mess to? Still raining or has it turned to snow?
Not sure if some of the girls in the group are off trail capable.

Thanks Sledneck

No shortage of sleds. Snow cone conditions light misty rain and hundreds of snowmobiles out. Supposed to get cold and start snowing pretty heavy once it gets dark. Got a good 18 inches on the ground

It's cooling down here pretty fast. Calling for 6" of fresh by Sunday night. Going to get a great base but ground is not froze, my snow thrower sent most my driveway into the woods.

Well we came up, trails where fair, with some sections poor, other sections great, just depended on the area I thought. Needless to say had a blast still put on 131 miles day 1, and 55 miles half of the day sunday and then headed home.

Bear swamp trail is closed until the swamp freezes up. The trail to Nahtaka is actually a road (6 mile) and they plow it shoulder to shoulder. I heard we got another 6-12" today.

That should help a lot. Hopefully conditions keep going up.

I'm heading back up on Friday .

 

[polarisrider1]

Bear swamp is now open. They filled some of the sink holes but is not getting groomed. Trail open to Hedihof on Freesoil. Skinner park staging area is under used. Great place to stage. Club 37 parking lot also a good staging area.

Awesome, sounds good now. Although looks like it is gonna warm back up some this weekend.

Wolf lake Motel. They have 2 bedroom apartment type lodge rooms. Prices are very fair. They also rent sleds.

Yes, just got home. Couldn't post yesterday I kept getting a "timed out" message. Got 200 miles in on a mountain sled. Could use another foot for better off trail.
Seen hundreds of sleds. Trails were in very good shape.
