Saturday morning we awoke to crystal blue skies and crisp cold weather. Overnight lows dropped to -10. Noonday sunshine brought the temperature to about 0. I decided to warm up my “snow-go” and check out how the winter trails were shaping up. Locals have been setting wood trails with snow machines for about three weeks now. I found no one has ridden on the river or large bodies of water yet, but frozen boggy areas and the tundra are filling in nicely with snow.
At $10 a gallon, throttle therapy can be a pricey affair. Weather forecasts are calling for more snow this week, and within a few weeks the large lakes should be solid all the way across. Rumor has it Caribou are within sight of the village, but I didn’t see any signs of the herd.
