Last Friday

Three of us rode Eureka last Friday. Started a few miles beyond the lodge in the gravel pit. Had to bust a fair amount of willow tops. The snow up high was good and deep enough to get stuck in (several times). It has been real warm and the snow won't last long.

buddy of mine was there on Saturday. Said the snow is melting really fast and it would truly be a waste on gas to go ride sleds. He was riding his 08 Outty 500XT and didnt come cross much snow a little ways past Eureka. so, another words its not worth it i would guess. bummer.
