Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 11/30
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Hamilton’s North Coast Adventures >> 11/30 Unfortunately, trails will take a considerable amount of time to develop this season. The HNCA staff ventured onto trails 101 and 13 in an attempt to meet the PB19 Brusher crew on the Ontonagon RR grade trail 137. We were able to travel roughly one mile east on 13 by snowmobile before turning back. The extensive damage caused by fallen tree tops will necessitate a massive cleanup effort. The Groomer has successfully opened trail 12 South from Ontonagon to US HWY 45. Today’s objective is to progress down 137 and east on 13 to 45, returning to the Ontonagon shop for maintenance. Tomorrow, we will collaborate to attempt breaking trail west towards the Porkies and White Pine. We are in dire need of assistance. Please bring your sled, chain saw, and pruning equipment to aid in the trail cleanup effort. <> <> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP Website >>>> <> Visit North Country Snowmobile Club – UP on Facebook >>>> <> FROM Gogebic Area Grooming >> Another productive weekend in the books for Gogebic Area Grooming..
