We went up to Marenisco, Michigan to check out some of the trails we had scouted this summer. We were pretty sure, but not positive, that they wouldn't be plowed and so far we are right! We did a 25 mile run-not what we originally intended, but it worked out anyhow. We barely scratched the surface of the trail system up there. We hooked up at one of the several Ottawa National Forest Campgrounds over there, which is obviously not in use during the winter (but luckily the outhouses are left unlocked). There is miles and miles of Forest Roads to play on and enjoy. They also link up to snowmobile trails, too, and if it all links the way we think and is all unplowed like we think, there's probably 100 miles or more that you could run teams of dogs on, with campgrounds scattered throughout to camp at with the dogs.

Now we are experiencing warm (mid 40's-up to 50 on Monday) weather, so the snow will be gone on these roads, but hopefully it won't last as there is snow in the forecast later on in the week. We really hope this last week of sledding isn't just a tease!
