December 26, 2020 Well, ready for some good news for a change for 2020? I`ll get with the boys later today or tomorrow and we`ll start to come up with a plan. Being so light and fluffy we might wait a day or few for some more before we get the machines out to start freeze down. So be patient. We`ll get `er going as soon as feasable. Thought I would jump on here to give ya`ll a quick update.

I crawled outa bed at 0800 (thats good news in itself) and looked outside to a pleasent surprise. We finally got some snow! The weather guessers weren`t really calling for much. I even went out on my deck and measured 5 1/2 inches and its still coming down at 1030 this morning!! It is also 19 degrees out. Looking at the forecast its supposed to snow an inch or two the next few days and remain cold…..YEA!!! It is just light fluffy lake effect but it is a start!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

31 degrees this morning and cloudy. Not much more to report on the weather U.P. here. Here`s what has been happining on the trails......
Groomer Dave ran trail #8 south of town, skipping the swamp of course, and called it good. He did crack the ice on the big holes on the south end of the power line. We will run it again Sunday but if we break through that ice we will be done with that trail. The one hole can get 3' deep. I got one VERY important thing to mention on this trail. We have the swamp section ribboned off with caution tape cause the gate is buried in snow. Some JERK(S) ripped down this ribbon and rode thru. We redid it now but this act was VERY dangerous. If somebody just followed your tracks and got stuck in there it could have been serious. PLEASE respect the roped off trails!!!!!!
Today we are gonna run the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 and the Point trails #452 & #453. For the rest of the season we are gonna run trails as the weather allows. Some good news is we have our 3rd machine up and runnin again!!!!
All fer now. Get yer bunnies U.P. here for one last ride, still lots of snow in da woods!!!!!

29 degrees this morning and cloudy. Here`s what went on with the trails yesterday, and a couple of other things.......
Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9. He had a good battle with all the drifting in "Siberia" but made it thru. It turned out good but he is gonna run it again today to clean up.
I ran the South trail #8 and it turned out good also.
Today we are hittin the Point trails #452 & #453 and the Pine Stump trails again.
Now, here`s the couple of other things. We are down one machine still. The mechanic thinks he`s got it figured out and is sending us a part. We will install it and hopefully that does it. If not he can get here tomorrow. In fact, I think he`s coming tomorrow anyhow to run a computer scan on the whole system now that I think about it.
I explained this yesterday in my report and I thought I was pretty clear but I`m still hearing questions so here ya go again.....THE SWAMP SOUTH OF TOWN AND NORTH OF THE RIVER MOUTH IS CLOSED!!!! It is ribboned off cause the gate is buried in snow. THE FALLS TRAIL #45 IS RIDEABLE BUT WE ARE DONE GROOMING IT!!!! If we went in there with a machine we would break it up and it would be unridable. Its gonna be rough but at least you can ride it. Simple as that, it is what it is and we can`t do nuttin about the low lands.
Soooo.......there ya have it.......we`ll keep going until the weather won`t let us or until the end of the month with the other sections of trail.
