CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/24
It’s now noon on wednesday and conditions have been heading downhill. Hard to tell what of if things will make it to the weekend. I took off yesterday morning and drove down to Cadillac where I unloaded my sled and rode over to Wellston to my cabin.
Cadillac trails were as perfect as you could ask for but when it turned to the Wellston trails not so great. Had a good visit with Cameron who bought the little store in Boon on the trail. That is on the Cadillac trail system then headed off toward Caberafe and on to Wellston. Stopped at the cabin and it was a nice temp out like 37 I figured I would light the fire and spend the night. Headed off to lunch in Wellston and the was going to try for Bretheren and Kaleva……things got to bad so I turned around and went back.
Got up this morning and rode back to my truck in Cadillac where things had really gone downhill since I left there yesterday. All in all a nice 100 mile ride but could have done without some of the dirt I hit this morning. Time will tell what this weekend brings.
Thanks for checking in. Pete
