King Lakes and Area Ride - Sun. Jan 12th

Due to all the active logging in the area, we spent the day scoping out some alternate riding areas for the club.  We met on Grossett Road with the idea of finding an alternate route to Hager Mountain.

We were only 1 minute onto the trail when the work began.

Same scene, different day. 
 
At least we started the day with good visibility!!
 
After lots of cutting stops, we finally made it to West King Lake. We were actually here a few times during the day ...haha, due to detours, inpassable trails and circular routes.

With some huge buried trees down, blocking our route, our only option was to cross both West and East King Lakes.  There were old tracks on the lake from other snowmobilers so a couple riders checked it out first.  It was a slushy crossing but we all knew to keep it moving. 
Great snow conditions on untracked logging roads.
Try this while riding!!

Sometimes the road just disappears from under you :)
 

The sweep looking like he needs a sweep.
End of the day - tearing up Earl and Michelle's meadow.
