First Ride..................

on the sleds will be coming up, whatever we have for snow in the lane will get packed down. The county trails are not that good, (lack of snow) so I'm not sure how many spots we'll hit.

We'll see if we can run the trail to the Sugar Maple, if we can keep those packed down, maybe we'll tap some trees this year.

 

thewoodlands = Zap...Who knew!!

 

The herd looks good even though it's been a tough winter, I counted 35 pounding the hills after the rain did away with the ice & snow on the west facing hills.

The turkey I don't even count anymore, the most I ever counted (3 years ago) was 65-70, what a pain in the azz they can be. The pic I posted, they're always over in that area.

 

I'll put that on next years list for Santa. The wind is trucking along pretty good, gust up to 38 mph, I hope the trails don't have anything big on them.

 

GoPro is a great camera...But every accessory is way overpriced IMHO!

 

AccuWeather is calling for 4 - 8 inches of snow from Saturday morning through Saturday night, that would help the trails big time.

They've been wrong on snow totals all winter, we'll see on this one.

 

Does the Lakes freezing over effect your snowfall?
Looks to be warming up for you, that means snow sometimes

 

We can get the Lake Effect off of Lake Ontario, this year the snow has stayed well south of us.

I hope we get it too, but the way this winter is going we'll get the lower amount. We'll be running the sleds back on our property first, after that I'm not sure.

It seems we have a few storms coming in by next weekend, I would love to put the saws up for the rest of the winter an hit the trails.

What, no reverse? Moose Attack

We finally took our first ride, we started on our property first. We went around on our trails twice to pack them down, after that we took off for the state park to ride the trails, after that we hit some of the county trails (need snow) most were fair but there were a few spots that I would rate poor because of the lack of snow.

Pic 8532 is on our property, pic 8533 is at the state park looking at the boat ramp area, 8534 is another pic at the state park, the rest of the pics are from the area we turned around at & came back, we were riding on the county trails, need snow big time.

I'm thinking we only went 25 miles total, once we get the snow we'll make a nice long run.

 

That's for sure S.O., we're about to get hit with some snow, so the next ride will be with the snow falling. The sleds ran great so that made us very happy, after running them through the woods a ways we shut them odd in the area in pic 8359, the wife was able to start her own so that was nice.

On our way back we met two other sleds, not many people out. By the looks on the radar, Loons getting snow already.

They say 3-5 for this area, we're at 37 degrees, they've been so far off on snow totals this year I won't hold my breath on this weather report coming true.

 

I'm glad someone is riding their sleds

 

It's just started to snow, nothing big yet but we'll take the full five inches of snow.

At the state park they have two sides, one for sleds and the other for x country skiing, they have the signs screwed up (which side you ride on ) in three different places, we saw the person who does the grooming so my wife mentioned it to the person, she said we've known about it for three days but still need to change them.

 

The temps are dropping, we were at 37 today, it's at 34 going down to 27 tonight. I went for a second spin, only for 5 miles, I made some new trails on our property then went for a small ride on the county trail down the road.

When I headed down the road to the county trail it started snowing some, by the time I came home it was snowing pretty good.
