Trail Conditions
We’re still standing: Update 12/18/14
Wednesday’s “Thaw” didn’t really do much damage. I only got 0.05 inches of rain in the precipitation bucket and temperatures got up to about 37*F for a short time. We picked up a half-inch of snow Wednesday night at the ilsnow storm center. Based on what I saw of the web cams, Moose River Plains […]
Riding in ilsnow land: Update 12/15/14

Weekend Outlook: Expect […]

Perkins Clearing Road was plowed from top-to-bottom, so there is really no reason to be tempted for […]
