Sunny, Crunchy and only minus 24. Its now 11 a.m. on Saturday morning and the temp is actually all the way up to minus 7. Regardless that hasn’t stopped the die hards from riding in. On the way up here 6 sleds crossed in front of me up by the high school.

Trailer counts this morning were really different for the first time with 7 trailers at the Days Inn and only 4 at the Ramada. Usually its the other way around. I think it will be a bit slow here today and if it picks up with riders it will be in the next few hours.

There are 3 rigs parked in my back parking lot and they all came in before they headed out. I had several people using my phone charging station yesterday as most everyones phone is easily frozen from the cold. 2 days ago Byron Brinley was in to pick up his goodies for being closest to the 4 millionth hit on my website. Also a couple of the pics below from yesterday was a guy that was in with his 2012 Yamaha and he had just turned over to 19,000 miles on it. He said most of those miles were put on around here.

That one sure tops the z 440 that I had with 13,500 miles on it. The other pic of the sleds lined up was at the Swamp last night about 5.p.m. I stopped by my friends sport shop about 8 a.m. and he said the ice fisherman had already been in and heading out on the lake. Stay warm and thanks for checking in. Pete

It’s sunny crunchy and minus 18 this morning in Frederic. Schools from clare all the way to the u.p. are closed today. I like walking outside when its this cold to hear the crunchy snow under your feet. Temps are supposed to be up to 13 today so that’s not to horrible. I did get to take my first ride of the season yesterday and as I was just getting to leave here and decide which way to go the phone rang and it was Keith in the groomer just checking in with me and he said they had just groomed north from grayling to Frederic and about to head down 79 back towards grayling so that answered my question pretty easily. I headed off south on 7 to the loop back north towards Frederic. It only took me about 40 minutes before I came up on the groomers. They were running both big John Deere groomers to make a perfect trail. I took a picture of the groomers and then rode back south as I was going to get a video of them going by. My phone was at 90 percent when I left and after I took those pictures the phone was dead as can be. The cold really wiped that out in a hurry. Also for the first time ever my hand warmers weren’t working so I finished the loop back to Frederic. For a first ride of the season it was very nice but I need to get those warmers working. I checked the motels this morning and it was a low count with 1 at the Days Inn and 5 at the Ramada. Still waiting on a good shot of snow to go with the cold. Like I have said most everyday in the past couple of weeks, the cold is what is saving the trails and they are really holding up well for what we do have. I am ready to go again. I really don’t like to think about upgrading on my sled cause I love my big old Cadillac of a sled , the 05 turbo 660 arctic cat, I like a sled with a big windshield…….Thanks for checking in and Please remember to ride safely as the death count is now up to 3, all in the u.p.
