Great to hear Kip! Coming up Sunday through Friday and can't wait. Staying on Lake Gogebic and heading up to Copper Harbor Tuesday for the night.
Agreed on the traffic... this past Saturday 1/4 in the middle of the day not many folks out. We were breaking in motors and tracks so it was gentle trail ride. slow pace.
we rode:
1 north to 11
11 to 102
102 south down to 8
it was pretty pure on Saturday. Cant imagine how good everything is now.
Some good entertainment noted for the low amount of traffic...
Pulled a kid/dad out of a water hole Friday night on 8.
Helped out a family Saturday day time that was out of gas on the north side of trail 102 (those damn off trail/on trail guys with their gas cans)
Showed a group where the new 13 north is from Bergland to Rockland they were all turned around - late Friday night - they were very excited to move on. Signage does need to be improved for that new intersection.
DNR was on 1 north on Saturday morning. The lack of traffic had him asleep.
I was here riding the past three days and can support the following;
1. Don't go to "High Rock Bay", there is a water crossing via ravine.
2. We rode 17 north from Houghton and was perfect to it's connection to trail 3 North near Calumet.
3. Trail 3 North from Calumet to Trail 151 towards Eagle River, MI then onto Trail 130 were perfect.
4. Intersection of trail 130 and Trail 3 north via Brockway Mtn. and into Copper Harbor was perfect.
5. Trail 134 south out of Copper Harbor to the intersection of Trail 132 was perfect (avoid the dead end trail that goes to High Rock Bay, stay right or south if you have GPS).
5. Trail 132 south where it departs trail 134 to Lac La Belle was perfect, May I suggest eating at Bear Belly and maybe gas too? One of the best food stops north of Houghton, chili is a 9+.
SOUTH OF THE BRIDGE REPORT.
1. Trail 3 south from Houghton to Krupps was perfect.
2. Trail 3 south from Krupps to 12 east was perfect.
3. Trail 12 East from Trail 3 to Rosseau Bar was ok, wet areas that are frozen but not groomed that great (this is were the water holes "were" they are now filled on now).
4. Trail 12 west from Roussea bar to the 109 connector and on to Sidnaw was perfect. Eat and get gas at Sidnaw Station if you like.
5. Trail 8 West to Trail 107 South was perfect.
6. A short piece of 150 west and onto 3 north was perfect.
7. Trail 8 West from Trail 3 through Bruce Crossing to the connection with 3 North was perfect.
8. Trail 3 North through Rockland, Mass City and on back up to Houghton was perfect.
Perfect to me means tons of snow, riding mid-week to avoid bumps and low traffic.
Lots of traffic will mean lots of bumps, get out as early as you can to avoid the bums.

Talk about a waste of time. Having to read through most of you attempt to stir the pot is at the top of my list. Kindergarten teachers sure have my utmost respect!

You won't believe me but I'm happy for anyone who had a great trip on great trail....reporting that other ppl ain't as astute as yurself and pissed you off does nothing but diminish the sport. You aren't perfect either, bubba.

These types of conversations from certain individuals on this site is why myself and a lot of others do not come here that often other than to get John's weather reports.
I would think the Administrator would simply delete these ramblings.

PM'd you 800etec.
Definitely interested in some Gogebic reports. Last I heard the N 2/3rds of the West side of Gogebic had logging with no grooming but do not know if that is accurate. How is the East side trail definitely some road in there I think. Is everyone running the whole lake safely now?
