Does anyone know where the Baraga groomer sheds are located? I only know of the one that is just south of Baraga/L'Anse, just a mile or two out of town.
Not trying to come up with excuses, as I know some stretches of 109 have been marginal in the past, between wet areas and tight areas a groomer can't get through easily......but I'm thinking that due to the washout closing the stretch of 109 that we all used to use, and the new stretch of 109 being re-routed from Sidnaw up towards Rousseau, that there are some grooming/trail maintenance contracts that are no longer valid/being reviewed/reallocated, this probably at the state/DNR level. With the new 109 re-route at the south end, it seems like it would be a lot tougher of a grooming run to make it up/past Alston to the turnaround where Baraga territory meets Superior Snow club territory. Unless Baraga stages groomer(s) near Sidnaw as well?
Seems to me the DNR needs to work with Superior Snowmobile Club and Baraga club on re-allocating who takes care of what miles.....but once tree falls are cleaned up, Superiors equipment might not be able to fit through the tight spots in the woods around Alston either?
Will be interesting to see how this plays out this winter, if it does at all? Hopefully, those can be nice trails to offer nice loops.
