It’s winter time in Northern Michigan. Took long enough to be able to say that. I would say we had a total of 10 to 12 inches since yesterday. I started plowing at 7 this morning and just finished. What great conditions we have now. I left here at six last night and rode my sled home and out on the lake to a friends shanty that had a few friends out there. Ran into the grayling groomer and a lot of sleds on trail 7 on my way to grayling and it was a great ride.

Trailer counts at the motels this morning were 5 at the Days Inn and 7 at the Ramada, I would imagine that will be going way up tonight. I have seen a few sleds rolling thru Frederic this morning but haven’t had any in yet. I pulled a good one last night as when I pulled my sled out to leave last night I left my big door open in the back of the shop. I couldn’t believe when I came around the corner and saw the door wide open. My first thought was someone broke in. It didn’t occur to me that I wasn’t smart enough to close it. Sure had a lot of snow blow in but I knew no one had been in as the alarm would have gone instantly if someone walked in. I guess I was to excited to leave to ride last night.

Looking forward to the first real snowy weekend of this season. I talked to two different sets of riders that rode up to the bridge yesterday so that is starting to happen now. The first riders of the day were just in and that was Joe & Amy from Lovells. They are excited to be out for a ride and just left with their new Sledheads shirts…….Thanks Joe & Amy and Thanks for checking in and Please Ride Safely and ride right…… Pete

Time to Ride……finally this is going to be the first real weekend of the season. I took my first ride last night with my friend Tim. We rode up to Starvation lake and then to the settings and on to Waters..

Trail 4 from settings to waters was supreme and we caught up to the groomer just outside of waters. Things seemed weird when we got to waters as it seemed very dark. There was a note on the front door of the Keg that said closed due to no power. We talked to the girl there and she said power was out from Gaylord to Frederic, we headed down trail 7 to come back to Frederic and that was horrid, that trail had not been touched so I took off to some two tracks to ride back to Frederic on something that wasn’t so rough. When we got back to Frederic it was pitch black here too. The only place in Frederic with power was the Frederic Inn as they have a generator. Even my storage units were out of power.

I guess the outage lasted about 3 hours. Its snowing right now with more supposed to be on the ground by tonight. I have been plowing all morning and I think there has been 8 to 10 inches of new stuff. It was nice riding last night on a little bit of soft snow instead of rock hard icy trails.

Pics below were on our ride last night. 42 turkeys in one group and a shot of Tim and I at the Hideaway. The other pic of the guys by the trailer were out back here at my park n ride of guys from St Louis. The one guy (who bought a new sledheads fleece this morning) said he has been reading me for 15 years…….Thanks for that. Please Ride Safely and Thanks for checking in. Pete
