Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/18

It’s very icy and hard here in Frederic this Wednesday morning at 33 degrees.

Back roads are very slick. Pictures below were the trail crossings up by the high school this morning and the sleds were just going to the gas station as I pulled into town here.

The trail along M 93 out by hanson hills surprised me as the rest of the crossings I looked at that there is still a lot of white and covered trails. I have seen way worse than this but then again the week isn’t over yet. My parking lot here is a skating rink and tough to walk on. I will be here all day and it will be interesting to see if any sleds ride into here. The sleds that I saw as I came into town just rode by heading north. In the past few weeks I have seen many riders stopped at my WTF sign across the street getting their pictures with it because they must love my Welcome To Frederic sign.

Well guess what, I had a call yesterday and the township board wants me to take it down…. you know last week when I put the picture of the guy that claimed to be Obama up. He was a pretty happy go lucky guy and as he was leaving he said “I don’t know why everybody doesn’t just chill out and be cool and not worry about the politically correct things”

He left and was just having a good time, just like everyone stopping at my Welcome to Frederic sign. Well it looks like I am going to take it down today……but as luck would have it my friend Scotty Bobby made this great drone video clip this weekend of it. Welcome To Frederic Click the link to see the video. I got back home last night about midnight from Denver. A short but good visit with my daughter. Thanks for checking in.

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/14

Get your riding in NOW cause I sure don’t like the forecast for the next week, it said 48 for next Friday which no one wants to see.

Hopefully things will change by then. So sled traffic for Friday was heavy and this morning trailer counts were the most I have ever seen at the Ramada with 49, 45 is the most I ever remember.

I only count sled trailers and there must have been another 15 trailers with the Hummer crowd. 9 trailers at the Days Inn…Trails are excellent, at least right now till they get a ton of traffic. Its hard to believe but if anyone wants to come north and relax in the warmth next weekend our cottage is still available, or maybe we will luck out and get a storm. Lots of riders mean more accidents out there.

Below are pics of an accident from yesterday just west of Frederic. Rider on the ski doo going way to fast and of course had been drinking, bounced off one oncoming sled and hit another head on. Luckily no one killed. People just don’t realize how quick you can die out there and believe me it happens. I only know of 3 deaths so far this season so lets try to keep that total down this season.

I keep forgetting to mention that you should take a picture of your sled with your trail permit on it because I have had many people tell me their permits have blown off. That way you have some proof in case you get stopped.

Today’s pics from yesterday are one of a Yamaha getting a new idler on it outside. Everybody loves a pic like that except the Yamaha people.. Thanks for checking in. Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/get-your-riding-in-now/
