I did not ride but believe it or not I did see a few riders. I was at the chuck wagon Saturday and there were two people who stopped for lunch. I did not speak to them but overheard them say it was very thin. I personally drove my truck over to the trail (#2) along the highway to see for myself and it still had the slushy base that starts out the day as hard ice but softens up as temps warm. Roads are all bare now. No snow left on them. I personally don’t like to Ride in mud nor ride on bare pavement any more than a road crossing. So I’m done. My guess is in the woods there is still riding for the die hards but whenever the trail runs down the road you are going to get mud or brown sandy water. I get others will hop from snow patch to snow patch, not judging anyone but that’s just not for me.

We took the NST as far north as Sach's Reanevous on Sat.
Plenty of snow. Any thin road cover is gone so plan accordingly.

We left Florence to Crystal Falls to Iron River to Sidnaw to Baraga, all trails were nearly perfect with few bumps and PLENTY of snow even through town in Baraga was well above expectations! Headed to Copper Harbor tomorrow!

Just got home, left Baraga went to Bruce’s Crossing to Watersmeet to River to Florence, everything was nearly perfect especially the grade from Watersmeet to Florence, a little bit brutal south of Bruce’s Crossing for a mile, and around Bruce’s Crossing is getting thin but everything else was beautiful .
so when is the last time you rode through there?

Um hello captain obvious...were talking about you...lol...and how you say that trail is bad....In several threads you've been telling everybody this...and he asked when you last rode thru since he rode it and it was the exact opposite of what you said... so we asked when's the last time you rode through there..... and I was ripping you and said 1975 yet you know how it is..... you got it now.. the only thing out there is your trail reports.... and yes they are way way out there...LMAO
You apparently did not see the question mark, eh? Looks like this. (?)
