Thanks for your input to this thread and work into the trails ranlam! I ended up driving home a couple days ago from mass city because this gigantic mammoth storm called "goliath" was going to be pounding the area around home... Ya it worked out about as well as daddy Dave's nova he built called goliath, total bust. (Street outlaws reference, Google goliath crash) but anyways, the fiancée and I are heading back up tomorrow! Staying at Peppermill rentals in Rockland, and we got engaged up on Lake of the clouds last year on Jan 16th...so I would love to make it back there riding out of Rockland if at all possible! I know things may not be great on side trails, but as long as she doesn't have to water skip small ponds to get there, we can deal with some low snow areas. But last year we rode out of hurley, up 11(I think, it went thru ski resorts and turned into a road for miles that was amazing ) to lake of the clouds, into silver city, down to the hoop n holler and back to hurley. It was a flat out amazing day, but with where we are staying this year I am not familiar enough with the area or trails from Rockland to make it there. If there is any way you think we could make it there, and a suggested route I would love to hear it. Thanks again for everything you do!
