Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 03/03

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 03/03

Things havent changed. Once again I am sticking with poor conditions but I am still surprised at the people out riding. Already had one group in here and its now 11:30. Riders want to ride and they are doing it even in these conditions. Hard and Icy, pics below I just took outside here at Sledheads.

Still alot of snow in the woods, its the trails that are gravel laden. We just have to deal with it. Not a flake of new snow here overnight and the big storm for downstate hasnt hit yet. O.k. I am done whining for today. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Before I got done with the South trail #8, Mike radioed me and said hit the swamp with the drag on my way back. He got it packed in pretty good and it turned out good with the drag. It is only one lane for now but we`ll fix that tomorrow. THE GATES ARE NOW OPEN!!!!
After that Groomer Mike C. headed out on the Falls trail #45 with just the machine and Groomer Glenn pulling a drag following him. They got that trail packed in and groomed, it turned out great!!! Groomer Mike C. put in 12 hrs. in a machine yesterday filling and packing in water holes! Great job!!!
Today we are running the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 and the Point trails #452 & #453. Not sure what we are gonna do with the other machine.

I am taking her out today and running the South trail #8. While I`m doing that, Groomer Mike C. is gonna go into the south swamp and see if he can get it packed in enough to send me thru with the drag on my way back! If all goes well we`ll have at least one lane groomed thru there and we can open the gates!!! When he gets done in there he will hit the Falls trail #45.
Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 yesterday and rated them as good.
More good news.....Groomer Patrick ran the Point trails #452 & #453 and rated them as good to go. The water holes on the North section are froze in now!!!
