We headed out today to try and meet up with the SnowBallCancer.org group. They were doing a 500 mile valentines day run. Unfortunately our paths never crossed, but they ended up reaching their goal of 500+ miles in 1 day! We left Presque Isle and took trail 1 north to Marenisco. After a quick breakfast at the wild river we headed west on trail 2 towards Wakefield. Both trail 1 and trail 2 were in great shape. We hooked up with trail 8 east and rode that into Bergland. Then we gassed up at nordines and headed out of town on trail 13 to Rockland. We grabbed a bit to eat at Henrys Never Inn then made our way down trail 3 to trail 8 west back into Bergland.
It was really warm out today and things have started to thaw. The trails have held up really well, but after crossing lake Gogebic and getting back on trail 1, the snow started to thin out. There is definitely more snow from Wakefield to Bergland than from Marenisco to Presque Isle.
