Sledding in Benzie & Leelanau!

Lots of snow!  On Jan 1, we went from Lake Ann to Copemish and back. About 84 miles.  The Benzie trail was fantastic.  We even got behind the groomer for quite a few miles.  We were in the middle of the woods, not near any roads, on trail #3 and we caught up to a new Grand Caravan, driving right down the trail.  The stopped us and said the were from downstate and looking for their friends cottage.  The the passenger spoke up and said..."it is really pretty back here, why don't many cars travel back here"...we just looked at each other and shook our heads.  We then told them they better get the hell off here or they will end up with a Polaris sticking out of their hood.

We rode on Jan 3, from Empire to Maple City.  Trails were excellent, and the food was great at Benchwarmers, at the end of the trail in Maple City.  Many sleds out running.
