Michigan Trail Report

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/23

It’s still going downhill 37 degrees here and trails and crossings are looking dark. The three pictures below are from this morning including the same view of my parking lot as yesterday……I don’t like it and time will tell what it looks like for this coming weekend.

Several things I have been meaning to touch on so this is going to be a long one today. First of all is about a sad story out of Seney. I am pasting the story from the SSA (Seney Snowmobile Association).

Please say a prayer for Seney Snowmobile Association and the family of Tyler Barker in Seney MI. He was killed in a accident at the groomer barn in Seney Mi on Thursday.
SSA is morning the loss or one of our own. An unfortunate accident took the life of Tyler Barker yesterday while working on the drag in the sno barn. Tyler was a snowmobile enthusiast that loved grooming. As our groomers got older the need for maintenance grew. He was always there whenever you needed him for whatever job to keep the groomers on the trail. He was a valued member of our team and will be truely missed. Our thoughts and support goes out to his family and friends. We’d like to thank his coworkers, the first responders and the EMT’s who tried so hard to prevent this tragedy. Here is a link to the go fund me account set up for him Go Fund Me for Tyler Barkers funeral

Next up is a request that I got on the 15th and it got buried in my emails about a stolen sled from the Keg in Waters.

Good evening Pete. Just wanted to pass along some information in the hopes you can alert your fan base. Sunday 1/15/17 between 730p-830p my snowmobile was stolen from the parking lot of The Keg Bar in Waters. The stolen sled was a 2015 Ski Doo Renegade XRS. Police report was taken.

I have posted on multiple local establishments Facebook pages as well.My intention of this request is to help educate and make other riders aware that theft is always a possibility, and if securing your items is not a option then frequently check to ensure nothing malicious has happened. Many thanks! Chris Zimo Today the Darkside adventures guys headed out towards Quebec for their ride around the Gaspe Pennisula. As usual I wish I was with them. You can track and watch their darkside adventures website. That’s about it for today. Thanks for checking in. Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/still-going-downhill/

Lake Gogebic Trail Report – Lake Gogebic – 01/23

January 23rd, 2017

Please stay off the trails – for now. Keeping traffic off the trails right now actually could help preserve what we have until it starts cooling off and we get more snow and can get back to normal-ish. This mid January warm up has lasted longer than I’ve ever seen and it’s taken its toll on everything! The weather will continue to NOT be our friend, at least until Wednesday night when temps are supposed to start cooling down to more normal levels with snow in the forecast for what looks to be almost every day for a week or so from then. No big storms predicted, as of yet, just a few inches here and there each day, and we will have to deal with the wet issues all over again (thanks mother nature). This will be a day to day watch for any snowmobiling over this upcoming weekend so I’ll try to keep more reports coming as we get closer to Wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed.

As previously posted, please stay on the trails in Bergland. You are not allowed to ride the highway through town and may be ticketed. You can only access the gas station by following the trail through the park and crossing directly across from the gas station from Antonio’s Restaurant. If riding the roads through Merriweather (down to the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern or to the lake) please remember to ride at the posted speed limit of 25 mph and stay to the side and as always be aware that this is a residential area and watch for traffic.

. *If you’d like additional information about our area please contact The Lake Gogebic Area Chamber of Commerce at 888.GOGEBIC or www.lakegogebicarea.com.
