PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/1/26
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!!!
12 degrees this morning and cloudy. I`ve picked up 4-5" of snow between yesterday and last night here at my place and "they" are calling for 3-6" more today! A big plus is that it looks like this weather pattern will stick around for at least another week! I`ve got lots of good news on the trails and just a tad of bad so lets get to it........
First all the good.....We have been VERY busy since my last report. Last Tuesday`s run around the Point trails went very well. Quite a few downed trees but the boys got them all taken care of and the trail groomed up nice. We`ll rate it at really good! Groomer Keith ran to Da Stump Tuesday and said the drifting was "interesting" to say the least thru "Siberia". He did get it all knocked down and only got stuck 3 times!! Now for a little bit of bad news.....the loggers have got our section of trail #9 plowed down to dirt. This section runs from Pine Stump east to the east branch of the Two Heart river plus a little beyond, about 10 miles worth total. They also have a section of trail #8 just west of Crisp Point plowed down to dirt for about 4 miles. This is unfortunate but hey....they have to make a living too and I am not knocking them. They should be all done in a couple weeks. The rest of the trail is in great shape. That wraps up Tuesday....on to what went on yesterday......
Groomer Keith went back out on trail #8 to da stump to clean things up. Haven`t heard from him this morning yet but I`m sure everything went fine. We sent 2 machines out on trail #8 heading south. We skipped our infamous swamp and started at the river mouth. The trail turned out BEAUTIFUL except for one 100 yard spot on the south end of the power line. There is some open water and mud there and its kinda tough to get around but can be done. With the cold weather and snow predicted it should freeze up in a few days....just keep a heads up. What surprised me the most is the Federal Forest section froze up solid! We left the gates open so we`re good to go in there!!!
We are taking today off and will head to the Falls tomorrow and try to get that passable.....IT IS NOT PASSABLE at this time so don`t go around the CLOSED GATES. After the Falls trail we will head into the swamp south of town.
So there you have it....a complete run down of our system.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
