TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf >> 1/8/26 Weekend and Weather Update:
The sun is so pretty, but conditions are certainly not ideal. Still a decent amount of snow in the woods. Temps in the mid 40s today make it feel and look like Spring. Driveway and trails are still more covered than not, but lots of ice and puddles. Will have to wait and see if it really rains tmrw or not.
On Friday we will travel downstate to celebrate the life of Uncle Dave with family and friends. Lori and Anna will be holding down the fort here, and although this weather doesn’t really warrant us being open, Lori will be here making soups and chili midday, so feel free to stop in for a bowl of chili or a drink if you catch her.
We plan to be open noon to 4pm Saturday 1/10. If rain further deteriorates things this could impact our hours and we will update here if so. We are waiting to see what the weather brings before knowing about Sunday. Stay tuned.
Beau and Knox have winter hayride availability again starting next weekend. 231-947-9529 for reservations.
Horse Camp families be watching your emails 👀 …Barn Buddies Camp letters were sent today with the rest to follow. #traversecity #snowphotos1/8/26 Weekend and Weather Update:
