leech~~ Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Looks like upper 40's to 50 in the Two Harbors area all next week. That may burn the base down bad! Edited February 29, 2016 by leech~~ Walleyehooker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleyehooker Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Warm weather and rain in the forecast doesn't look good. I'm headed up to LOW in about a week for one last ride and a little fishing then it looks like storage time for the sled. On the bright side I took a ride around the block on the scooter the other day so hopefully it will be a quick transition from snowmobiling to motorcycles this year. Even the streets are pretty clean so far and not much sand and salt piled up. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Mike Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 We still have options!!!! Picture was taken yesterday around noon. I'm not 100% sure we'll make it out again but it's on the radar until the end of April leech~~ and LoonASea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) May get a few miles on locally on thursday, then a laker trip to Burntside this saturday. Then between B-ball tournies and spring break the sleds will get summerized and hope to swap out for the boat the last weekend in March. Hoping to spend a few hours that first weekend of April on Superior trolling for silver outta Dos Harbors Edited March 1, 2016 by Xplorer leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishersofmen Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Two really bad winters in a row. Me and the kid somehow managed to get 350 miles on the sled. Next winter cant possibly be this bad again can it!? leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Arrow head was good this weekend but will take a beating with the heat coming next week. Glad you got one in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 All that's left now is a wash and wax for the sleds and trailer, and they'll be ready to be swapped out for the boat in storage. 54 at my house yesterday and lots of warm the next week will do in the local trails. Bring on open water trolling!! leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxMN Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I took my two-up for one last ride on the lake yesterday morning. There still was a bit of snow but not much. By the tie I drop back up the hill (dirt) and parked the sled, and then cleaned up a little in garage.... I looked back at the lake and all the snow was water on the ice! I am done, the second lackluster winter for my sledding around my neck of the woods. Time to polish the toons leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleyehooker Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I was supposed to be heading up to Lake of the woods this morning for my annual snowmobile/fishing trip but the weather put a damper on that. Only got a couple trips on the new sled and a little over 200 miles so I guess it will still be pretty new next year. I said it might be the last machine I buy and at this rate I may be right. I hope we get some decent snow in the metro area next year as there hasn't been enough snow in the last 2 years to even groom a trail around here.
