This was our last day of the trip. \u00a0Everyone was feeling very comfortable so we decided to run up to Lake of the Clouds on Lake Superior. \u00a0For as bad as trail 1 was beat last night, we all mentally prepared to beat and bang through the woods for the first 10 miles, but to our surprise they actually groomed it! \u00a0Nice job GAG (Gogebic Area Grooming)! \u00a0When we turned on to trail 2, it was in great shape as well. \u00a0We took trail 1 north into Bergland. \u00a0For a Saturday morning the trail was in surprisingly good shape.<\/p>\n

On our way into Bergland I decided to check on trail 1 north out of Bergland towards White Pine.<\/p>\n

\nIt was in great shape so we kept going north and stopped at Konteka in White Pine. \u00a0The staff there is always so helpful and friendly I always enjoy coming back. \u00a0After a bite to eat we gassed up and headed for the Porkies!

Our rookie riders had a couple sled problems, after we got those worked out we hiked up the hill and enjoyed the view.

\nThen we took the boundary road to trail 102 towards Bergland. \u00a0The road was in awesome shape, 102 had a few ruts, but nothing too bad.<\/p>\n

Rant warning – I can’t understand what happens to peoples brains when they get on a snowmobile. \u00a0All common sense goes right out the window! \u00a0While coming down trail 102 around a blind corner, there were 3 sleds parked with a toddler running around on the trail. \u00a0I have kids of my own and know they need to play and have fun, but come on people, not in a blind corner! \u00a0If something happened to that kid, everyone involved would feel awful. \u00a0This was just one example of people doing dumb stuff on the trail that we saw over the last few days. \u00a0There were others (all adults) with their machines parked all over an intersection, literally blocking the entire trail. \u00a0Let me put this into simple terms for you people that don’t ride a lot: \u00a0Would you park your car \/ truck in the middle of I-90? \u00a0How about Lake Shore Drive? \u00a0Not a good idea, use your head!<\/p>\n

After fueling up in Bergland we took trail 13 towards Watersmeet. \u00a0The northern half of 13 was in great shape, it got worse the further south we went (probably more traffic down there). \u00a0We stopped at Rogers bar for a beverage, then made our way home to pack up for the trip home tomorrow.<\/p>\n
