Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/05

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/05

Here we go again with a meltdown. So far this sunday morning there have been a decent amount of sleds out. Sled traffic for saturday was heaviest of the season with sleds everywhere. Sad part about that was a death out near Bear Lake, Helicpoter landed on M 72 to pick up patient but he didnt make it. There was also a fatal over by Lewiston on wednesday. Keep that in mind as you are out having fun. Many new faces stopped in yesterday along with familiar faces. This morning by 9:30 there were probably 25 sleds over at the swamp for breakfast. Julie puts out a great breakfast buffet on the weekends. Pics below are from the breakfast crowd over there this morning. I was over there too. Didnt get to the Frederic Inn last night and instead ended up at Big Buck. I have to say that was pretty darn good . I tackeled the 45 oz bone in rib eye. Also ran into 2 different Sledheads shirt wearing guys. Had a good time there. So we all better do some heavy duty snow chanting this coming week as its not looking to promising. Also if anyone lost a blue bag on the trail I have it here at the shop. Thanks for checking in. Pete
