I was up this week in the western UP from 1/23 to 1/26. Overall trails were great. Rode from Bruces Crossing up to Copper Harbor and then stayed at the Ramada in Hancock on Thursday. Friday rode to LOC and then to Lake Gogebic and returned to Bruces Crossing on Friday nite. 400 miles of smiles. Observations as follows:
1) No more need to discuss the lack of signage. Actually it was easier as when there was a turn sign, I figured they meant it. The rest of the time it is called snowmobiling!
2) It was this strange thing they call "snow". Haven't seen this much of it in the last couple of years down in FIB land. We were on south boundary road and it went from full sunshine to cloudy to white out in a matter of five miles. I was like a kid again!
3) The people we met from M&M, Dan's Polaris all the hotels, casino's, bars and resturants and the snowmobilers themselves could not have been nicer, genuinely friendly, helpful and funny. At home, not so much!! Can we bottle this stuff!!
4) Trip cost is greatly reduced when you win $350 on Wed. and $500 at the blackjack table as well on Friday nite in Watersmeet. Never happens. Snirtdawg out........

it was awsome, drove through a white out on Saturday along the shore that left us all smiling. Headed south east from Grande Marais towards Newberry and Seney and the snow just kept getting deeper, solid 30+ off in the sticks. My wife and I managed 400 miles in 2 1/2 days. She was a tropper.
