Looks like it might make 0 on Thursday with light wind according to TWC so that's not too bad & we hate traveling on weekends. Besides we don't have to plow everything right away as we can park over at the neighbors. We talked to him this morning & he's in the metro but his was plowed this weekend by the new owners of the resort nextdoor. He thought his furnace quit working so he made a emergency run. I turns out it was just a battery issue with his thermostat. It a lot shorter walk through the woods than down our driveway & I'm seein snow/wind in the forecast for up there on Saturday too.

gunner.......you look at the narrows cams yet?????? looks like there's actually water standing by that birdhouse?????????

[Gunner55]

  On shore? Looks pretty dark to now to me I can't really tell if it's water. Across from the  platform on the East cam looks kind of gray & slushy & was like that yday too.

[Gunner55]

Just spent a couple hours working on the snow again. Widen it down at the road where they had it plowed shut with waist high hard crusty snow. Widened the rest of the drive along with around the garage & between the garage/cabin & the little shed. That was all light & fluffy stuff. Still have out by the boat shed to do but that can wait.

have you seen much activity on the lakes you drove by?????? or activity that had been there??????????

[Gunner55]

 It doesn't look like there's more than 6-8, maybe 10 spots where somebody might've drilled some holes out on our bay all season & none of 'em look very fresh. Although there's 1 person out there now sitting on the edge of the weedy point on the north side of our bay.

[glenn57]

Heading to the meat raffle tonight??

[Gunner55]

  Yup, a late arriving packed house. Bet 1/2 the crowd got there after we did, ~ 5:30. We didn't win but you wouldn't of liked it either as what they were giving away the most of you already have enough of ..........................................BALONEY!!!!

any idea where or who supplies the meats gunner???????

and i was actually kinda joking when i asked. figured you guys would be pretty tuckered out after that drive and would hit the sack early!!!!!!!!!!  one of these trips.....i need to go check it out!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

 Was a bit surprised by the # of snowmobiler's last night. There was 4 sleds in the back of the lot when we got there & 6 more came in all suited up. Just before they started a huge toy hauler , must've been almost 30', pulled in the lot. Some people bailed early so we got in on 3 of the last 4 boards. It looked like about 1/2 the bundles were 4 packs of ribeyes from Kocian's to me.

[Gunner55]

 After yday's AM's fun in the snow we both had a Bloody Mary with lunch so the nap after that was a natural. I didn't look at the bundles last night so I'm not certain but last year they got it all from Big Fork. There must be someone who lives nearby that works there as we actually seen somebody deliver it last year 1 time when we were there a bit early. We got some really nice ribeyes last season 1 time.

i suppose thats the new starting and ending point for alot of snowmobilers since Richies is shut down now. man Richies lot was always packed with sleds back in the day!!!!! didnt hurt the trail went by there either. from there to bigfork was an awesome snowmobile ride!!!!!! so was the ride from the cabin to get to that trail.........oh the good old days of being  young!!!!!

[Gunner55]

We sat by the guys on the 1st bunch of sleds & another guy came over to talk to 1 of them about the newest sled they had as he had looked at 1 too. I overheard them talking about the trail up to Big Fork.

[glenn57]

oh yea, there are great trails out that way, then get back up in the soumi ? hills.........trails out towards squaw lake are awesome to. from the cabin to squaw lake by car is about 20 miles, give or take.....by snowmobile trail its close to 50 miles....weaving around all the lakes. great ride!!!!1

[Gunner55]

The 1 up at Squaw Lake goes right to Fish Tales now, seen quite a few sleds up there at times too. One time a group had a sled breakdown & I heard them talkin about going all back down 2 to get to 46 after they got the truck & trailer. Think they were stayin around Cass Lake/Bena area. I had to point out the GDP shortcut.

[glenn57]

longtime back, my dad had bought a new sled.......mom anddad sue and i went for a ride out that way......we where way out there north of Alvood..? dads sled broke down.......all i re ember is it was a long way back to the cabin to get a truck and trailer........ and they riding 2 on moms sled...them things arent made for 2 on a sled. we pulled it out to some place by i think hwy 71/72????

it seemed like we where closer to canada then the cabin!!!!!!!
