Waiting for the BIG DON of storms to hit us

Waiting for the BIG DON of storms to hit us. Starting tonight prediction is 6 to 12 inches of system snow. I hope they are right. Its a beautiful morning out this morning. I was up at 7 and out my door at 7:15 and on my sled. 3 degrees and a fresh inch or two overnight, I rode into Grayling and went to check the motels. 11 trailers at the Days Inn and 46 at the Ramada, talked to a group of Canadians that were loading up and had their sleds running outside their rooms. Pic is below of their sleds. STopped at 7 11 and rode the trail back to Frederic, beautiful morning for a ride and I got here right at 9 but not before I buried my sled in the snow bank in the alley behind the shop. Now when I get a group of four guys in I will go pull it out. Already been a few sleds in and its snowing out right now at 10 a.m. I would love to throw the closed sign up and go and ride all day…….BUT I just cant bring myself to do that. Also it was a hot ride for a couple of sleds yesterday and a 73 year old rider had an incident where he wrecked his skidoo but luckily he didn’t get hurt except for his pride. Both the Swamp & Frederic Inn were jammed with sleds all day long. Pics are below. Story I posted yesterday from the lady that came across the guy on the highway got a response that the guy was found and was o.k. Also a report of a found I phone on the trail near Frederic which is coming into me here this morning. It has heavy damage from studs but I will have it. Also if you are missing some items in a pouch and a tow rope and other goodies from up near the settings I have that stuff here. From what they described a bag on a sled must have come open and scattered someones stuff along the trail. Petes lost and found here. Thanks for checking in. Pete
