Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association Report – March 18

O.K. here we go again. Trail Boss just called and said he had an idea. We are going to run the 4×4 New Holland down (M-123) to 3 mile and in to trail #9 and groom to where it meets Trail #8 at the Holland Lk. Rd and back to Pine Stump where we will leave the groomer for the night. The owner of the North Store near Wolf-Inn is lending out his truck so drivers can get back and forth from town as our truck went thru a transmission. Tomorrow night another driver will drive to Pine Stump, leave the truck and groom back to town. We will repeat this process to groom the trails for you as long as we can. Our 4×4 John Deere is in the shop so we are going to try the New Holland 2 track on trail 45 that leads to the Falls and groom at least out to where it crosses M-123 near the Falls. Maybe Paradise can groom the rest of that trail for us, Wally will check on it. Now, we have to check on the weight restrictions to put the 2 track on the road as it has a cleated track. I will update you as changes take place.

If anyone coming up has a transmission for a 94 chevy 1500 ext-cab pick-up, 4×4 with a 5.7 liter engine that you would like to get rid of, let my know, TASA really could use it. Till next, be safe and maybe we will see you.

We did do some grooming last night and again tonight.

The temps have been in the 20’s. It is supposed to be cold each night this week so we hope to hit all of our trails north of M-28 before the weekend.

The snow is very low the closer to Kinross you get with some dirt in a couple places. You could get around now, but maybe not by Saturday as temps get in the mid 30’s the next 2 days.

It may be the last weekend for us to have groomed trails. As it is from the sunshine we have had the trails are very icy or icy snow crystals and road shoulders are bare in most places.
