Our son lives at Lake Tahoe where they have been measuring their snowfall in feet. Out there they refer to some of the accumulation as "Sierra Cement". Well, we have not had any new accumulation in two weeks and with the warmer temperatures we currently have "Crawford County Concrete". It's still usable, the trails are still beautiful, but it's not perfect. The weatherman is promising some new snow this week.

We have had some wonderful guests over the last couple of week-ends and they have been making the most of the winter weather. Last week-end, our Toledo gang was here. It's pretty special when you can reminisce with guests about their visits over the last one and half decades!

Although we experienced temps in the low-mid 30's. They reported exceptionally good trail conditions.

The week-end prior to that, we met some new regulars. Two of our couples originally headed to Tawas and had to change their destination to Grayling to find snow. They shared the house with travel writer, Kath Usitola, Anita from Indiana, Mark & Beth and Tom & Kathy.

Cheri, I just wanted to thank you for your hospitality.
We really enjoyed staying there and will tell everyone about it. Thank you for telling us about Wakeley Lake trail. We snowshoed the trail after we left the B&B and we loved it. It was our favorite trail of the weekend. We walked all around the lake even though early on we came to a junction where one way the trail was posted "closed" due to erosion. We chose the "closed" route and we had no problem but you may want to mention it to anyone who may be going out there that they should stick to the open trail and not go down the closed path because the trail is lost once you pass that sign. We stayed near the lake and we picked up the trail after some time and had a great outing, but others may not want to be so adventurous. Another option would be to just do the campground loop, which was beautiful.We appreciate the compliments and the photos that Mark sent!
