Quick Post...............

 Just wanted to get in a quick post for those that are checking out what is going on in the north country.  Cross your fingers that they miss the boat on the forecast for Sunday night.  A little R could help with the base.  But we don't need a replay of a the last R event.

Merry Christmas!

After searching old posts, I found the date I was looking for.  What date is that?  The date I brought the original trail cam online.  One thing I do remember about doing it, it was cold and snowing big time.  On December 24, 2011 I posted  "It was two years ago I brought you the trail cam for Christmas.  Well this year I have something new for you again."  What was it? I added a second camera on top of McCauley Mountain and it was a PTZ camera. Over the last few months, I've rolled out a few new webcam locations on oldforge.net and they high light the area in general.  This Christmas I am rolling out four new camera locations all focused on snowmobiling.  Go to oldforge.net/trail and you will see the links for them.  They are going to be seasonal cameras only online in the winter.   Hope you enjoy them and Merry Christmas to all and to all ride safe!  Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas, Steve

Pretty quiet in many ways.............

The last two days we haven't seen anything more than a dusting of snow.  But the temps are back down and things are freezing in from the R on Friday.  The other quiet is the amount of people in town.  There have been a few sleds running around.  But with Christmas just a half a week away I'm guessing most are home getting ready for Santa.

Half a foot...............

 We lost half a foot of snow overnight Thursday to Friday morning from the R and the wind.  Lake effect moved into the area Friday evening.  How long it's going to stick around is hard to say.  I'm hoping long enough to get back the snow we lost.  Temps are going to drop and things should start to freeze back down, turning into a solid base for the season.

Wait and see...........

 Traffic has been light, which is to be expended with Christmas a week away.  Groomers where out in full force today getting everything ready for the possible R Friday morning.  So, the wait and see begins.  Cross your fingers that the great beginning to the season doesn't get washed away.  So what did I mess up in this video?

Yes, I said it...........

 I'm sure I'll upset some by what I said in today's video.  But it's no different than building a house.  It's only as good as it's foundation and that's what we're doing.  Building a foundation or as it's called in snowmobiling "Base".  We'll have riding till Thursday morning.  But by noon Thursday temps will be above freezing and may even hit 40, with some R overnight into Friday.  Looks like a good weekend to stay home and get ready for Santa.

Well attended..........

 By what I saw and heard Snodeo was well attended this year.  Sorry I don't have a time lapse video of the event like other years.  I was instructed to turn off the camera I had inside of the building to do them.  Vintage show also had a good showing of sleds.  Funny what a little snow will do.
