Should mention that if you ride any of the lakes before we get the freeze coming this week end that you can encounter slush and you dont want to get stuck with a 6 year old. It sounds like he’s staying off the lakes any way.
RonRode Evergreen Lake this past Saturday and was great early on but slush was getting deeper as this 16 inches of snow was heavy and wet. As the trails got packed in by sleds we lost cooling and we got hot so turned around. Out scratches helped but not much. I talked to other riders that had the same problem. Also talked to guys who tried Lewey Lake Sunday. Made it across but turned around at the camp ground and came back to Perkins. New trail around Evergreen Trailer Park is working great and was groomed this past Sunday as was the trail (S88) to the Powley Rd. Powley Rd was a 10. Met the big BR180 heading back to Rt 10. I talked to riders at the Powley place that rode to Salisbury Saturday. They had a great ride. Club was not very busy. They were headed to the Pleasant Lake Inn where I heard the trails around Startford and Oppienhiem ware all great. This from friends on face book.
Piseco Lake has not had any sleds riding it that I could see at least on the west end. I know they are near the island fishing on the east end. My friend sez he walked out with a ice bar and cut 6 inches quite a ways out near the center of the lake but he said the slush was bad and he aint taking a chance. We all been there and do not want to chance either. My wife will not go to on Piseco until she sees a pick up on it or at least 10 to 15 sleds blowing down it
Over and Out RonI talked to a groomer Friday nite who drags trails in Morehouse (1/15/21) in the Oxbow Inn. He said they built two new bridges to Mosquito Hill and all is OK now but they went south to see if Ohio did any thing on their section. The mud holes in the fly just south has not been fixed. You will have to wait for the fly to freeze before you can get thru or try to plow thru the mud to get any further.
I am going to call the Pres. of the Ohio club cause we had planned to head this direction to get to the Alamo in Poland this coming week end.
We got at least 16 inches of the white gold around north Arietta and Morehouse. My other friend said it gets a little sparse as you get lower in elevation near to Ohio but its mostly fields and is good to ride. They went to the Ohio Tavern this past Saturday and had a great ride.
RonThis past Sunday–Saw tracks on Lake Pleasant, Ox Bow and Evergreen Lakes Cant say how much ice but Piseco just locked up last Wednesday the 6th. The west end did not look that good–Bare ice and dont know how thick. Panther Mtn stream at the west end is still cutting into the lake for quite a way. Dont forget about the new trail off the lake at the west end. (see my earlier trail report) A lot of ice fishermen at the east end by the island and out into the middle. My friends rode Evergreen onto the Morehouse trails and said it was not to bad considering the amount of snow cover. They are riding the Powley Rd. bare in desperation. Evergreen Lake is very shallow and locked up during huntin season. Morehouse boys are always out there working their trails all year.
Thank you Morehouse boys.
