Bummed over winter

[MNUser]

I'm really bummin over our winter so far. Just read the Paul Douglas blog and he has zero storms for as far out as they can see. This takes us into the middle of January. I have a sinking feeling this will be the winter of zero riding. Looks like I will have to trailer but that does not look to promising either. I would have never guessed this would happen. What a drag!

I have really been thinking about trying to setup some ride over in Upper Mich or Wis when they get a little more Lake effects snow but can you imagine trying to find a motel or hotel over there if the whole state of Minnesota shows up! I have posted this ruler before which is in the UP and even if they only got a 10th of that it would still be a good ride!

When do we GO!!!!!!!!

[harvey lee]

Before the motels are full and the trails are trashed. Go now!!

Thought about going up on Saturday but I think taking a day off mid week might be a better option. Let the trails get beat up this weekend and then go the day after they groom. Maybe Wednesday would be a good day. Could be an easy day trip.

I was intent on buying another sled this year after being broken hearted by not having one last year. Sure glad I held off, now I'm hoping to find a good deal for next season.
