Not much so far..............

We have seen light pockets of R here and there today.  But nothing to get all bent out of shape about or stop people from riding.  The front that will be bringing us some R over night is pretty impressive.  As it stretches from Canada to Texas in length.  I'm just hoping the most of it stays off to our west, as it is now or starts to fall apart.  Another thing that I took note of today was the temp. change.   It was just below 10 most of the night from midnight on and within an hour the temp jumped to 28 this morning.

Last night I was able to get out for a ride with Mike and his son.  We stayed around the area and put on just short of 50 miles in an hour and a half.  Nice way to end Christmas day in my book.

Trackside Blazers Snowmobile Club Trail Issue:

Ok folks! We didn't even make it one week, before we lost a trail. The Trackside Blazers Snowmobile Club would like to thank the individual or individuals who decided that a KEEP OUT sign really didn't apply to them. As a result Trail 7E at the White Otter Fish and Gun Club is closed until further notice because of off the trail riding. This was a main corridor trail for traveling between Forestport & points north that kept snowmobile riders off the railroad track. So, it is quite simple at intersection marker OD31 trail 7E is closed going north. The gates will be closed on both ends of the White Otter Fish & Gun club. Going south on Trail 7E the gate to be closed is located where the trail crosses Hawkinsville Rd. You will now have to cross Rt 28 by the Woodgate Fire House, ride thru the BoyScout camp, over to Bear Creek Road & pick up the railroad tracks to go south. And to go north reverse the process.
No grooming or maintenance will take place on the portion of trail 7E which is closed. This may also impact our ability to groom trails north of the closed area such as the BoyScout camp area, Brandy Lake Trail 7C, the Round Pound Trail, and trail 7C that heads out towards Boonville.
The Trackside Blazer Club officers & the many volunteers that put in countless hours working on the trails and maintaining good landowner relations do not appreciate the utter STUPIDITY of some people who cannot follow simple instructions to stay on the trails & NOT GO OFF trail riding.
With the expected rain on Monday, the rails may be closed to riding, so no north south travel will be possible at that point!
So to put it simply, because of a few the majority of us are now punished!

 This sign & fence was just put in place last Saturday after individuals rode off trail onto the White Otter Fish & Gun Clubs private property.They destroyed the White Otter Fish & Gun clubs fence, this replacement was done with Trackside Blazers club money/time.

In the above picture the TRAIL is off the the right side of the trees on the right. The area straight ahead of the camera shot is OFF LIMITS to riding!

Merry Christmas to All ! !

To everyone that has dropped an email, phone message and so on.  I'd like to say Thanks for the Holiday Wishes and I hope you, your family and everyone else is having a great Christmas.

For some reason the video is jerky today.  I'm guessing the video file was to big to process it smoothly.  Hope you enjoy,  I know I had fun getting the video for it.

Looking better............

It all depends on which forecast you look at.  But at least some of them are now saying frozen stuff coming from the sky on Monday.  On a more positive not it looks like snow for Saturday.  Who knows maybe one will wash out the other and we'll stay right where we are now.  Today we had the sun out and temps got above freezing.  So things got a little soft, but besides that weather wise it was quiet around here today.

Cross your fingers.............

The day after Christmas is getting closer and they still are looking for some R.  I'd rather see it this week than next.  It's all about timing, this week it could make the base that much better.  Next week it's just going to make a mess and not have time to set up.

I'm still here................

Sorry about no report yesterday.  Had many things on my plate to get done and had plans to go to Utica Christmas shopping.  By 3 in the afternoon I was just finishing up what had to be done and really needed to get on the road to go shopping.  So the report for the day didn't get done.  So what has gone on in the last 48?  Not much of anything to tell you the truth.  Had some snow in the air but not really anything to talk about.  The big thing I'm seeing is what is the weather going to be the day after Christmas.  But I wouldn't put any stock in that just yet, as it to far out.   Besides that the forecast is looking pretty good.

Could of been worse..............

After getting calls on how things have turned out after yesterday's morning R.  I figured I'd take a ride out to north street and see how things looked.  As I said yesterday, it's more of the snow settling down, than melting and things have frozen up solid with the below zero temps this morning.
