Yes! Snowmobile ride to Speculator 1/11/17
My ride to Speculator happened Wednesday. I know that today’s thaw will change the conditions, but the snowmobile ride has a story worth telling and might provide a sort of “base line” for what conditions could be like over the holiday weekend.

Ride to Newcomb and toward Long Lake: Update 1/5/17
