    The smaller trails up through the woods were rough (needs snow) the wider trails were good.

    Yes I was, especially the Beech & Sugar Maples. Just a dusting tonight, not much for snow this week unless we get that storm coming up the coast, that should be after Wednesday.

    After doing more plowing this morning, I jumped on the sled for a short 20 mile ride.

    Picture 8585 is going in on our property, 8586 is back in on one of our trails, 8587 is coming out from our property, 8588 is the county trail (8E) that runs through part of our property, the last two are down to the state park.

    Beautiful day for a ride. Makes me want to get out. But the only out I'm getting is Lowe's, because out 20 yr old washer died. Wife happy, I'm not.

    It's always something. It was a nice day for riding, I would've gone for a longer ride but the wife is gone for the weekend so I was riding alone.

    I did stop to talk with two ladies that were stopped on the trail, one had actually gone camping with a group of people I went camping with many moons ago, small world.

    I That's cool . Enjoy the snow dude! We're buried. 4-6 ft drifts around the house and property. I understand you more northern guys better, you big snow getters. I just realized I can't find things outside. Wheelbarrow is buried somewhere, ash can, who knows, a cooler I was looking for, etc. We have a 12ft boulder on the side of the house. I climbed a hardened drift and I was looking down at it. Love it though. Kinda wish I had a snow machine..... :cool: If my wife were gone, I would have talked to a few ladies too, lol.:rofl: :lol:

    I hit the trails early today, put on 30 miles before things got busy, I met the groomer in a tight spot coming back, thank god for reverse. I went to take a picture but the card was full. :mad:

    Before heading out on the county trails I took a ride around our property first, the first four pictures are from that part of the ride, the last two are from the county trail (8E North) coming back.

    Not one lady I could talk with today, just a bunch of trees!

    Looks like another beautiful day for riding. Will you be getting any snow this week? After this cold in the next day or 2, things should warm up a bit for us.

    Not much, from what I can see they're calling for 1.5 inches of snow this week.

    You just never can tell what you'll see in the woods, thought that I was on my way to Loon's house! This sign should be about 40 miles northwest of this spot.

    I put a quick 20 miles on this morning, I never saw a sled until my way back, only saw five sleds today.

    I was taking in the scenery today, I was going about 15 mph most of the time, I've not yet opened it up, about 30 mph is the highest I've had it going.

    Went snowshoeing out back today. The first of any tracks were seen since last Thursday. Mainly squirrel and deer.

    We have some snowshoes but haven't used them this year, the wife has gone cross country skiing a few times, it's just been too cold most of this winter.

    You got some decent lights on that badboy. Helps to see the upcoming work in those woods.
