If they would not have lost all their snow/base I would seriously consider it.

Oh well just another reason to dream about living up there!

Made it back!

We went up on thursday night and rode all friday.Some areas were pretty sketchey in the popular fuel stations but trails were in decent shape for no grooming.The temps topped at 48 on friday and 58 on sat so we were done at noon.We did howener have a backup plan and went back to Todd's place and went out on the Sportsmans for the rest of the day.In all there were some places were you had to ditchbang to get to the trails but in the woods was still good,We put on about 200 miles and the sled needs a good cleaning.
Friday we left from Seney trail head north towards Grand Marais(NO good in town)Then through to Pine Stump JCT headind south to trail 9.Things got interesting here,We rolled up to a spot that had some open water for about 60 yds.There were 2 guys pulling a sled out of 3 ft of water,They had tried to go along side but rolled one machine upside down into the drink.We helped them out of the water and made sure they were ok and did some water skipping,It was my first time so I was skeptical but I made it without issue.
We later found out the 2 guys had blown up both their sleds getting into pine stump.I for got my camera on both rides so I am an Idiot,I did get some pics of thursday night when we got stuck in my buddies yard with the truck and trailer.The snow was a least 2ft deep,His inlaws live rite next door so we had some help getting out.
SORRY FOR NO PICS:frech32:
