Wow a new inch and a half

Wow, a new inch and a half of snow. At least its a start. It looks nice and white out there this morning. I dont expect to see to many sleds out there but you never know.  I decided to leave here and go up to Gaylord yesterday and saw five sleds over at the Swamp and the pic of them is below. I headed up to Gaylord after that and saw 2 sleds heading north of Waters on trail 7. So there were at least 7 sleds out there that I know of. It was about 4:30 and I got a call from a group that were sitting in front of Sledheads and needed carbides. I asked them if they had been at the swamp and it was those five guys. They had rode over here from Mancelona. I didnt know for sure if I had what he needed for a Riot so I told him I would go to Sled Shed to get him some as I was close to there. I was back here to Sledheads in 15 minutes and we got him changed and they were back on their way to Mancelona. He had zero carbide left on the left side so that kind of explains how the trails were. Turns out I had 5 sets of carbides here but at least he was safe on getting back on the trail the way we did it. So it was about 6 and I left to go home and decided to go to Rays Barbecue on the river in Grayling for a brisket sandwhich and in was Ray & Cindy Stewart along with Skinny Kenny and their whole group of people. Pics below along with a spontaneous chant of MO MO NAH CHEE CHEE NAH……That was fun. They were hoping for new rideable snow like the rest of us. I really am not sure what to think about what its going to be like this weekend. All you can do is try  Be sure to look down one or 2 posts on my Sleheads Facebook page for the MO MO NAH video. UPDATE 11:00 am friday, Just had 2 guys ride in that say they have no complaints about the trails. They are surprised on how nice it is. Just though I would put that out there. Thanks for checking in. Pete
