I came home early due to lack of groomers being out. Hope they groom on Saturday because things were whooped. Got 500 miles in though.

Sorry to hear it was so bad 2more. I have approached the head of the Alpine snowmobile club before and I have suggested that they change the grooming schedule to maximize their efforts. Right now the club contracts the grooming to a local contractor who treats grooming as a regular daytime job. The best time to groom is in the evening when the snow sets up and freezes. The bottom line is Nobody know's what the hell they are doing. Infact none of the people running it are snowmobilers. The head of the club is the owner of a local snowmobile store but he is not a snowmobiler and I'm sure I only piss him off when I tell him his contractor doesn't know
about grooming. I had coffee with member of the Grand Marais Snowmobile club once and he shared alot of thoughts on what it takes to keep up on a trail system. Gaylord is totally in the Dark. This local contractor is just filling out his paper work and running the groomers on his own schedule just going thru the motions. It's a shame. Gaylord should be a world class trail system.

Like they say, a bad day of riding sure beats a good day at work! It was a real workout on those trails and the energy level came and went. Indian River area and the newly opened Cheboygan trails were really hurting on our way through too.
