Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/03

It’s about 11 am on a calm and quiet morning in downtown Frederic, havent heard or seen a sled this morning, trail crossings up by the high school looked snirty but I have seen way worse.

Motels emptied out this morning with only 7 at the Ramada and 3 at the Days inn. Riders were steady yesterday and while there isnt much in the way of predictions for this coming up weekdays it looks like we may get a little new snow with some on wednesday and some on saturday.

So that sounds like a crap shoot and we just have to wait and see. Now today I wonder if I will get anyone stopping in here on their way back from the U.P. Many have you contact me and we talk back and forth sometimes in person or online. Please be sure to tell me who you are when you come in as I had it happen 4 times this weekend that people come in and I dont recognize or remember who you are, and the masks do not make it any easier. Sometimes someone can come back a half hour later and I dont remember they were here…..sorry I am just getting old but a reminder would be helpful…..I always remember with a hint…….I am updating from a different computer today to see if I can get a picture on without trouble. If I still have trouble than I know its my website uploader…..the trouble started about the same time as my site was recovered. If the pic shows up here its some riders from Friday. Also a reminder to those of you that may be looking for a nice place to stay when you come up I have my rental cottage next to where I live at Lake Margrethe. Here is a link to my page on it Wayside Inn Cottage A few more trailers came into my storage lot this past weekend but I still have slots available if you do not want to haul yours back and forth.Thanks for checking in. Pete

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/02

New Snow fell last night, about a whole 2 inches,The snow that did fall last night fell hard and fast and was a nice thick snow so that was a bonus. Sled traffic new years day was steady thru Frederic and trails are still well worn.

I think I had more cars and trucks drive into the shop here yesterday than sleds. Trailer counts in Grayling this morning were the highest so far this year with 21 at the Ramada and 7 at the Days Inn. So the season is off to a typical slow start. I got here just before 9 this morning and there were already a couple people waiting on me.

I heard Jerry on the radio station 100.3 is now doing Mo Mo Nah Chee Chee Nah with his weather reports. Hopefully that will help. Thanks for checking in. Pete
