Trail Report

Everyone that stopped in today and yesterday can't believe the trails out there.....the best ever! A lot of hard work by all the clubs involved, GREAT JOB!, not to mention the blood sweat and tears that go into the trail system. Labor of Love I suspect! A fellow in Kokadjo told me "we do it for the people", I'll let you know that he was 20 hours into grooming with only 3 hours of sleep, he meant it!

Have a safe, fun, and great ride this weekend. When you come across a "Trail Fund" jar, put some cash in it. These trails don't groom themselves!

Outright balmy!

39F, That's above ZERO! Too warm for this time of year. We like to ride the 3rd week of April in jeans and a T shirt! Stays warm like this, the snow won't last. Good thing is, the lake ice is over 40"+. We've had to put an extension on the ice auger to get down to the water. So we'll be able to ride the lakes till April.

Weather

Snowed all day yesterday and into this morning with a total of 24"-30" with drifts up to 5-6' deep. Had to go to Bangor yesterday. Good day to travel, everyone stays home during a storm. Golden Rd was plowed when we got to it at 9:00am. It was a long wet ride by sled to the the truck. The snow was so deep in spots it came right over the hood of the sled made for zero visibility. In fact, that's the way it was most of the day, white out conditions.

Off to groom trails!

Buffalo Burgers are #1

"Not only the best Buffalo burgers, all so the fixings that were served with the meal such as dilly beans, corn relish, relish, baked beans and chips that weren’t all crumbs. All served up in a friendly family atmosphere"

David Fish of Glenburn, ME

Thanks David hope to see you again!

Snowmobile Trails

Wow!!! Busy, busy week. Thanks to everyone that stopped by and stayed with us this week. I never thought we'd flip over 100 buffalo burgers in a day!

You folks really made our winter, and we just just wanted to THANK YOU! and thanks for all your support on the new snowmobile trails.

Snowmobile Trails and Weather

+17F and looks like another great day. Picked up 5" of fluff last night. A light wind makes for a blizzard out there, blowing all the fluff around. Oh well, sunny and warm, what else could you ask for?

Trails are in fantastic shape, and very well groomed from here to the Ragged Loop, over to North East Carry, and up to the Trains, HAVE FUN! RIDE SAFE!

Trails and weather

Crisp, -5F this morning. Busy day on tap. meeting friends south of here in a couple of hours to brush out some over grown trails. Should be a good day to work outside, crystal clear and forecast is for +30F, can't beat that! Trails are in perfect shape.

Trail Report

Groomed approx 32 mile yesterday and off to groom the Pine Stream down to the Poulin Rd. The trail is OPEN from NE carry to Chesuncook Village. We have been very busy with snow sledders all weekend and expect to be busy all this school vacation week. Temps. are forecast to be in the mid 20s with light snow all week. (23F w/light snow now)

So stop in for a the best buffy burger in the North .....just voted #1.....and say hi!

Windy and cold

+14F and NNW winds at a steady 23mph with gusts up to 40mph. This is the second day of high winds.

The 2 windmills/wind generators we installed in November are doing their job! Cranking out a steady 15+amps, 24volts into the battery bank. The amp meter on the windmills has hit over 40 amps with the wind gusts. It's good to see something work as well as you planned. We don't have run the diesel genset with this amount of wind.

Re-supply Day! UPDATE

Still warm here 36F, drizzle. We returned home last evening at 11:00pm after a 11mile sled ride in the rain from our truck. Long day, seeing we left at 7:00am. Still unpacking this morning. Good to be back home!

Wind just started picking up out of the North NE, that's the end of our warm whether.......for now!

Re-supply Day!

Going to town again. Good day right now +31F, the forecast is for sleet and rain all day. We're parked out 11 miles down the trail. So coming home by sled will be wet, that's the way it goes!

Ice fishing Report

Had several parties fishing this weekend and the consensus was that the best fishing was around around 7:00 am to 11:00 am. Plenty of action all packed in 4 hours then just perch and cusk for the rest of the day. Most salmon averaged 16-17" had two in the 20" range. There where plenty of Salmon under 16" also. That'll be good for next year! Seems that as the days get longer the fish get more active.

We had deep fried cusk last night with supper, fantastic!

<>< ><>

Trails and weather

Wow, +38F at 7:00am this morning, heat wave! The wind just started howling out of the NW at around 20mph, gusting to 30+, and the temperature has dropped to 34F in just the last 15 minutes. We had a light rain this morning. That's a good thing, it will settle the 4' of powder that accumulated since Christmas. Should set up the trails pretty good too.

Ice fishing on Chesuncook Lake

Last weekend things finally started to pick up. Plenty of salmon action and more than our fare share of cusks. We tossed back anything under 24". The largest cusk keeper was 27", 6 pounds....mmmmm! (fresh water scallops) Right during the middle of the day. We have plenty of ice fisherman in this weekend, so we should have some good result to post Sunday.

Keep on Fish'n!

Trails and weather

-23F this morning, cold, crisp, and clear. All trails to the village are groomed and ready to go. Looks like a very busy weekend. Many folks have called and made meal reservations for Friday and Saturday, that combined with a good weather forecast, should result in a lot of activity here.

Last weekend we had several groups in that ran up the lake from Caribou Cove. They came over the Ragged dam and up the trail, crossed the Golden Road into Caribou.

One group came over from Millinocket, via Rainbow lake then to Chesuncook Lake, then up the west side (less snow waves on that side). Both groups said that the pressure ridges on the ice where starting to show, so WATCH FOR THEM!!!!

People coming from Moosehead were taking the trail to Lobster Lake north to the Ranger's station then to Little Lobster Lake to the Poulin Road then Pine Stream to here.

Come on by warm up, and RIDE SAFE!

-8 this morning. We finally broke the freezing mark yesterday and topped out at a +40F. Looks like another great day, warm!
