Decided to go south from Tomahawk yesterday b4 dawn, headed to Merrill...Decided to take the long and winding route...17s to 19s...It's 50 miles one way with about a thousand turns(Reminds me of the NSST trail in Mn)...Riding it hard the whole way non-stop was a good workout...I was the first sled after the groomer headed south after the 15/17/19 split...Had to slow myself down a few times, crossed paths with 3 sleds during the ride south...Yep the water crossing about 10 miles nw of Merrill was froze solid...On the way back north I counted 34 trucks/trailers parked at the Co Rd "S" lot...Yep...The trails were fairly trashed from there north into town...
