Gaylord Area - January 16, 2008
Good riding continues. We had 12 rooms all out riding last night and through today. Not one complaint. Dan O. and Mark K. from Ann Arbor enjoyed a great ride last night over to Starvation Lake and back. Riders rode in every direction from the motel returning with great reports of their rides. The forecast is looking awesome. Snow, Snow, Snow is in the forecast for the next 7 days! Cold temps will also be staying with us. Arctic cold coming in over the weekend.

This is a scenic ride north from Gaylord to Indian River. Rolling hillsides, wetlands with meandering streams, snow laden cattails. Tunnels going under the roadways and pine trees lining the trails frosted white. Still all white and plenty of snow on the trails.

Gaylord - December 2, 2007
We spent the day just cleaning up the sidewalks and drive from this heavy snow. I did walk over and get a picture of the trail this afternoon. Snow measures ten inches on the tables. Walking through the snow is a cardiac workout, there's a slight crust on top and its all heavy. 1-3 Inches forecasted for tonight, another 1-3 tomorrow. Riders are heading out on the trails this morning, so we'll have updates on the trail conditions later today. Riders that were out yesterday enjoy fun rides.

Its been snowing more today! There is plenty of snow on the trails, and they officially open tomorrow Sat. Dec. 1st. Its time to fire up those machines and enjoy the whtie snow! Mike took a quick ride and came back exhilarated. Trails aren't groomed yet, but its looking promising that grooming could start the first of the week with the forecast.

Gaylord, Michigan Morels - May 11, 2007
Bruce and Rose from Ohio found this nice combo of black and yellows yesterday, May 11. Everyone that stayed with us this weekend returned last night with a nice mess. Enough for a pan or two. Its looking like blacks are fading out and yellows coming in. They reported they had to dig under leaves to find many of the delicious morels.

Now that the groomers have had a chance to get over the trails the conditions are good! ... We got 6-8 inches of new snow yesterday/last night. There's an excellent base now. Its a solid packing snow. Should be good riding through the week.

Gaylord Area - January 24, 2007
Jordan Valley today, Jan 24 ---- We headed over to the Jordan Valley. All three of us agreed it was a good day on the trail. A few spots that were rough - mostly over east as we got over to Alba. The first few miles as we entered in the south side of the Jordan Valley was extremely rough with deep holes to jar your bones. Once we got into it the trail smoothed out to give us a pretty ride through the woods and river scenery. Jordan Valley is pretty any season of the year.

Gaylord - January 16, 2007
We spent the afternoon out on the trail. Headed out after lunchtime to Starvation Lake where we stopped for a bite to eat. Then onto Lakes of the North and home. We both agree it was a good ride. -- The Blue Bear had been groomed and was alot of fun. There were a few rough spots here and there, but like I said it was a good ride. The roughest spots were right out here along Old 27, Trail 7. -- We have about 6 inches of snow....a trail base of a few inches. Just exactly how do you measure the base? .. its just a guesstimate. There was no spot where we rode today that there wasn't snow or a base.
