Snowmobile Information:
Sunday Update. -17 This morning and sunny. Friday’s 38 degree temps with low traffic gave us a perfect storm. The puffy snow got warm, picked up moisture, then froze. Overall our trails are early season to good. F Trail from Gunlock to 47 is sorta bumpy, with some dirt showing in spots, but good. 17 from Mattke Rd to East Boundary is thin where the sun got at it so gravel is poking up but overall pretty good. East Boundary all the way to H is great. Club trail from H down to 47 is rutted, so stay in the center. From 47 down to Moss Lake is good. Farther down to Crawling Stone good. Keep going toward Fence where you link up with Thorofare is a little suspect where the construction was. Back up to 17 where it picks up at H – very good into the Raven.Raven Lake area was very good in the new construction area. 5 into the Casino needs some work. Truck ruts, but perfect if you stay in the middle.17 north from 5 good all the way to the tundra in the Powell Marsh, then you can see it’s thin. I called no Joy and came about at that point yesterday. Overall I was very pleased with what we have working with not a lot. I had lasagna with the Cruisers Friday night. Very good, and I joined the club. A special thank you to Cruisers for the use of their Piston Bully after Hornshoe 1 got a sore stomach last week. I also had a great breakfast with Mercer Snow Goers Club yesterday, and Matt and Renee and I are headed to Boulder for breakfast this morning. Our lakes are in great shape. Big heaves on Fence, and some smaller heaves on Crawling Stone. We will be marking lakes Friday, January 24. Pretty cool, I was able to cut and paste yesterday’s report, then edit for today. Now Mary wants me to send her this link to post on Facebook and our website. Cut, paste, post, link. That is a lot of technology for a guy that still can’t color inside of the lines with his crayons. Be safe my friends. Mark
