What a 4 day weekend I had! We took off on Thursday heading west to Cable WI to attend the IMBA Fat Bike trail grooming conference. Arly thinks he needs to chat grooming every chance he gets.
 |
| This is the snow we saw just outside of Houghton. Ya we got some. |
 |
We stopped just west of Hurley WI to check out our
favorite trails found here and we spied a
grooming sled coming off them |
 |
| It was Charlie! I love friendly groomers ya know! |
 |
| He takes care of the Uller trail. Tanks Charlie!!! |
 |
Next we stopped at a FS trail near Mellon WI.
Dogs aren't allowed...good thing I'm a trail mutt. |
 |
| We are finally going! |
 |
Their snow was shallow but the 2-leggeds
found skiing was still good. |
 |
| It followed my favorite North Country Trail. |
 |
In Cable, we stayed at the Hummingbird Haven.
It's Trail Mutt approved! Cathy even left some treats
for me! Here is her work address. |
 |
Friday was the SnowBike trail
grooming convalcade...
I found some friendly folks at the demo! |
 |
Mike came from Marquette MI. I love him.
|
 |
After the conference, we headed to
our favorite Wolverine Village,
just outside of Ironwood MI.
I met Randy and many new and
old friends here over the weekend. |
 |
On Saturday, Sandy skied the Sisu half marathon.
I got acquainted with some friendly folks and
KIDS while waiting for her. |
 |
| Even a friendly Gramma was there! |
 |
| Oh yeah, they all were touching me. This is the best! |
 |
Jo Ellen, Diane and I huddled up by the fire.
We all stayed at Wolverine Village! |
 |
| Yay! Sandy finally made it in. |
 |
She found the 1/2 marathon more enjoyable than
the full...she can't quite go and go like me. |
 |
| Bye bye, little ones! |
 |
| On Sunday, we bade farewell to our fellow Villagers. |
 |
Debbie, my ears are down here!
She manages the Wolverine village.
Its trail mutt approved! |
 |
| Me and Junior got to romp around together. |
 |
| Hey! I don't know about this competition for ear scratching. |
 |
After leaving to head home,
we stopped off to ski our pal Jim's trail. |
 |
| They had good, deep snow. |
 |
| We're so glad Jim is taking care of this trail! |
 |
It wasn't groomed a few years ago...
not that I would mind deep snow. |
 |
| See? |
 |
| I had to stop for a drink after that deep snow bounding. |
 |
I've trained Arly to watch for vermin.
He's not worth a hoot at it, however. |
 |
| We skied by a nice hemlock stand. |
 |
| She left a little note in the log for Jim. |
 |
Finally, we're back in the Copper Country again. How fast can we really go here?
We wanna get home! |
Great post! Love all the snow too. :-) We received some more today. Yay!
