Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 03/16
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 03/16 Well its a quiet and dry morning in downtown Frederic, more and more dirt showing thru each day and rain is supposed to be coming. I did see 2 sleds at the Swamp yesterday and the day before, I am thinking it was the same people. Still nothing I want to dry skid in. So thats it for trails here but the 3 old guys to alaska are tough and still rolling. Pic below I borrrowed from one of their updates, take a good close look at the supplies they are all hauling with them. Today they are in Stony Rapids Saskatchewan. Look that up on the map and see how far north they are up there. What an adventure. All 3 of them are riding arctic cat norsemens so at least they can exchange parts if they need . With all the extra gas they are hauling that has to be alot of weight. A couple nights ago they were camped out so they are prepared for most anything. Thats about it for today. Thanks for checking in. U.P. may get hit with some snow in the next couple of days so that would be nice for them.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> It's 30 and cloudy out this morning. Sleds were out and about yesterday and a guy just left here with a 3 inch paddle and said he was using his scratchers on it……still tons of snow in the woods but the trails are getting worn but not totally shot yet. I expect traffic will be slow but its not gonna get any better the next few days. I should load up my sled and head to the Keewanaw.

Riding today should still be o.k. but hard out there and thats better than mush. Already had first rider of the day in and his pic is below with a couple other pics to show the snow is holding. Presidents weekend is usually a big weekend, I still dont like the forcast for next week but we still have lots of snow in the woods and its a long ways from gone. Thankfully it never made 32 yesterday and if the temps do reach the predicted highs it should only be for a little while in the late afternoon. Its cloudy and quiet out there and hopefully the sun stays hidden. If you do ride just be careful of icy corners. Thanks for checking in.
