Need way more snow!!
I was out and about yesterday, with the sun, it was sparse in a lot of spots and the wet areas were very wet. What caught my eye was the tracks.
Now with what is coming down,,, keep your fingers crossed, hopefully we can get a ride in this weekend.

It's only about 3-4 miles and takes you back to the main trail. they just give you other options to get off the main trail for a bit. Tony

nice..... yeah i really wish i had a map... would that even be on it?? now that we might get a healthy bit of snow i might take it around. everything looks SO different then driving on the road. But i bet most newbs say that! I really enjoyed the little ride we went on... could have gone longer but i dont think my wife was really digging it..... she likes atvs and not being cold i guess... thats why i wish i could sell her sled

The new loops are on the maps released this year. You can pick one up at the Irish/Spartan Inn.

Now you should not sell the wife sled,,, well even though she may not really dig it that much,, uhm,, make's for a good back up sled and also helps if you need a riding partner in a pinch. Seems like I can always get someone to ride one of my junks with out to much effert. Back to the topic at hand, I am going to head out in about 40 mins and go scout the trails. By George, I think we may be up fer a ride today. Anyone else?

Well i finally made it back home what a ordeal today was.Got all the way to southbend and then realized i had forgot my key(whoops never did that before). Started heading back home,then decided to call the wife and she brought the key to the peru truck stop. Two hours shot,so we ended up riding 65 miles and called it a day.325 miles in the truck to ride 65,all in all we still had a good time trail conditions varied widely from great to bad to almost bare dirt in spots. would i do it again hell yah,all except for the part of forgeting my key.lol
