100 Mile Snow Safari Forum

I was riding south on LMT 7 Monday morning around 10 AM in the 3/4 mile stretch I call "camel back" about 5 or 6 miles south of Laona.
As I crested the 3rd hill I almost filled my drawers at what could have been a disaster as I saw freshly cut log sections laying parallel on each side of the trail with some boughs still on the trail and it definately looked as if the trees may have been laying across the trail earlier that morning.
I saw a gator off the trail but didn't see who was doing the cutting....I don't think it was a logging operation due to the smaller size and quantity of the trees being cut down....don't get me wrong,....they were plenty big enough to cause a bad wreck!.
I know that its up to each of us to use caution when going over blind hills like these, but the fact is this stretch of trail is somewhat of a "catch some air" trail....

FWIW keep this in mind next time through there...until you go over that hill you have no clue that any kind on logging is being done in the area,....no signs , caution tape etc.

Good tip- I ride that stretch pretty frequently and in fact my hit it later today. Are you talking about that section that runs along the pipeline, over and thru the whoopdies?

That is one of my favorite sections of trail! :sledder:

That guy was up there 3 weeks ago...I had the same thing when I was going through the section. It was one man, I didn't stop to talk to him but I did see him.

Snoway, Thanks for the heads up, Bob the groomer driver put Caution signs up today! I will be out with the tractor wendsday, :hi: woodyboatguy

whoopdies,...LOL....yea,...thats the spot!
Thanks woodyboatguy.....BTW the boat you have pictured in your profile is awesome,....my FIL restored one like that 20 years ago,....hasn't seen the water since that summer. He still has it under cover.

Hi to all interested, WE moved our wood boat shop from Oconomowoc to Crandon 4 years ago. We specialize in restoring Chris Craft , Garwood, Hacker and Century, runabout and utility wood boats. My favorate are prewar Chris Crafts, Snoway I wood love to see a picture of your family boat, thanks, steve, aka, woodyboatguy :hi:

I was at the boat show in Milwaukee last night...they had a few COOL redone wood boats there:thumbup: They had one little 11 footer made in the early 50's called a Little??? Never saw a small wooden hydroplane style boat.

that's a nice boat! but that's not as impressive as the shop its in!:thumbup: i bet i could fit all my toys in there!:lol:

.... another heads up on LMT7 heading south....after the whoopdie whoop section, between Laona and Wabeno....south of the next stop there is a logging operation starting up,....we came up on a skidder and plow truck clearing off about 200 yards of the trail ...not sure of the extent they were plowing of, but just thought I'd post it up.
