Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/10

A nice chilly minus 6 this morning at Lake Margrethe, and of course no new snow. Weather is now calling for a small system snow on friday along with all the lake effect that has been predicted but hasnt shown up yet. I took off from the shop here in Frederic yesterday afternoon and took the long loop back to grayling around 679 and 79 and trail was pretty decent. Got on to Lake Margrethe out by Mcintyres Landing and took a partial loop around the lake. Quite a bit of snow on it now compared to the last time I was on it a couple weeks ago. My finger tips were getting cold so after 25 miles I ended up at home and then stayed put.

I drove back up here to get some things in my truck and figured it was time for me to try a set of gaunlets on my sled. I have already had riders in here this morning and pic below is a rider this morning from Genoa Ohio. Also one trailer out back already but I am going to try for another ride this afternoon.

Thanks for checking in. Pete
