The recent snow storms have all gone south of us and the warm weather that we had early in December melted much of the snow that we received earlier. While we definitely have snow on the ground it is nowhere near what we have came to expect by this time of the year.
The main snowmobile trails have been rolled and grooming will undoubtedly follow the next snowfall. Smaller trails that branch off to individual lakes probably need a little more snow before they can stand up to much use.
The photo on the left is the uphill grade on the main trail at the west end of Poplar Lake. The photo below is of the main trail on the south side of Birch Lake. Both photos were taken today. You can see by the tracks that traffic on the trails is light.
However as I have been writing this update we have had two snowmobiles running across the lake in front of our house. We get a little snow almost daily and probably have what most people would consider to be a lot of snow. I am never happy about the amount of snow we have until I get tired of removing the snow from our driveway.
If you stop in to see us this winter be sure to use the second entrance off the Gunflint Trail. I do not open the driveway from the first entrance to the Lodge.
Wishing everyone a great New Year,
Mike and Lin
Looks beautiful! My kids and I still talk about our time with you a couple of years ago. We hope to come back sometime soon! I was going through a very rough time and was happy to find such a peaceful place to relax. Hope you are both doing well!
