Here's a quick re-cap of our trip over this past weekend. A little dated but hopefully useful for others.
Drove UP Thursday afternoon/night and stayed on Lake Gogebic...-15 at arrival time!
Friday we headed up to Copper Harbor and an overnight at the Mariner North was planned. Took 13N from Bergland to Rockland to Greenland to Twin lakes (hit a few forest roads too), lunch at Omer's, then 3 to the bridge, tried the Dreamland trail which was well marked and fun, then 122 to 124, finally hit up with 3 again and took Brockway trail on into CH. Only rough trails we hit were 122 & 124.
After a nice dinner at Mariner North and a long night at Zik's we had a bit of a slow go on Saturday morning but still managed to head out to High Rock, did the Eagle Harbor loop, back down 17 through Calumet and across the bridge to 3. One more late lunch at Omer's and we continued trail 3 to 13 and on into Bergland. Stopped at the Bay Bar for 1 or 2 (left due to a local polka band) and then headed to Gogebic Lodge. Had to have been over 50 sleds there so we didn't venture in...called it a night and hit up our cabin. All trails were in a great shape!
Sunday only half the group took an early morning run to Marinesco (1S), over to Wakefield (Trail 2) and then back to Lake Gogebic (Trail 8) where we met everyone else at the Hoop. Made a run up 1N to the Konteka in White Pine, the up to Lake of the Clouds, down South Boundary (11S) to 102. Other than the foggy mist every now and again the trails were the best we've seen in this area!
Needless to say, traffic appeared down as Wisco had rideable snow so not everyone and their mother were UP there! Every grooming club/area we went into did a great job and for that we thank them all.
