Got some snow now

We got about a foot of snow with yesterday's storm.  We're trying to get the Argo so the guys can go pack the swamps between Haileybury and Latchford.  There is frost in the ground but the swamps still wont' support a groomer.  With luck they will be out his week.  We should then be able to do a little grooming by next week. 

Most of the major signs are now up.  Some vandals attacked the big one down by Latchford.  It's always discouraging to see the club's stuff being wrecked.  We also have problems with the signs being run over by ATV's.

I was out for a little ride at the cottage today and dropped the back end of my machine through the ice on a beaver pond - it was good on Sunday.  Be careful on any ice since a lot of it isn't very thick yet.

Hopefully Lake Temiskaming will freeze soon.  We really don't like to have the trails marked on the Wabi River without ice on the big lake.  Somebody could get out there in a snow storm and we'd have a swimmer.  Nice to avoid that with safe ice if possible.
