Lake Gogebic Loop

We rode a bit further today. We got on the lake (which has fishermen all over and 10 plus inches of ice) and headed to the Hoop and Holler. We got off the lake there and took trail 8 west which was in great shape. Then we headed south on trail 1. This trail was in good shape as well other than the thin snow. We arrived at The Fisherman and had the famous Walleye breakfast. After breakfast we headed south on trail 1 to trail 100.

Gogebic Lodge

Trail 100 was pretty bare due to the logging going on in this area. It was also full of wet spots. I don’t mean your typical 1 foot across creek. We are talking 5 to 10 foot across pools. Bring your swiming trunks for these ones! We then hopped on trail 13 and headed north again to the root cellar.

We got back to the cabin and topped off our oil and headed north. We took the lake to town and got gas. Then headed west on trail 8 and then north on trail 1 through White Pine. As we went further north the snow got much better. White Pine had the best snow fall so far.

Trail 1

Once we passed White Pine on trail 1 things started to get ugly. Silver City (otherwise known as Mud City) certainly lived up to it’s name. The closer we got to the lake, the more muddy it got! We ate dinner at The Foothills and then made our way to trail 11 south. The first part of trail 11 was beat fairly bad, but it was still rideable. About 1/2 way to trail 102 we passed the groomer going the other way! Then of course the trail was smooth as glass and great! When we headed south on trail 102 it was the same story. The first 1/2 was a little rough but then we passed another groomer and it was great. We made our way back to Bergland and gased up again. Then we rode the lake back to the cabin and called it a night.
