Area Report:
Not a lot going on in the Hornshoe territory. We still have a donation link for our Kubota groomer at www.hornshoe.org. People are donating, and we are appreciating.
News and Reports:
There is a lot of activity in the Northwoods this weekend. I belong to some cool groups on Facebook. One is Vilas County Community. A lot of good information about what activities are going on, places to go, people to meet. Vilas Counties website also has a lot of cool links. I like the fact that you get posts from groups, and clubs, that keep you up to date of upcoming activities. I see quite a few people asking what they can come up, and do, without snow to terrorize.
Snowmobile Information:
I would say we received about 3″ of snow last night. Enough to blow some snowshine up your trail, but not anything to unleash the hounds, or mobilize the John Deere. Several clubs have fun stuff going on. Cruisers and Forest Riders are doing a tag team event at Lakeland Power Sports Saturday. Lakeland also has some great deals on gear. Frosty Club is on the ice at Bendts Camp. Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters has an event at their clubhouse behind the Chamber of Commerce at the airport. White Thunder Riders has their auction at 4:00 at their clubhouse. I always say riders should belong to a club and also be aware of whose trails you ride on. These fund raisers pay for equipment to keep the trails going.
Groups worth mentioning: K.A.O.S. ( Kids and adults on sleds) Amazing youth group many riders do not know about. Then there is the NextGen Riders – new group that targets young adults on sleds that are too old for KAOS, but too young to hang with the W.H.O.W (WOW, for short) group. (White Haired Old Weasels). I do not see anything on the internet for WOW. They have trouble remembering what day of the week it is, let alone how to operate any newfangled internet contraptions.
Have fun
