heya Ol Haus If you can get around the small loop a couple of times on your snowmobile, I should be able to groom and track on Saturday, and wouldn't need any help. But if I do...I know where to find ya.
Keith,
Going to take tomorrow off but will try to get out Thursday/Friday to shovel in some snow and hopefully get the sled in there to pack what isn¡¯t packed on the short loop.?
Will update. Also: I can get out Saturday if u want help that day. Ol Haus

the water has opened up holes in the snow....especially the drainage areas.

Finished the loop, all the way back to Engine Block. Big foot blazed the trail. Nothing major except that portion right after the snowmobiled section. A few bow saw can do and one or two downed trees to go around.?
Let me know your plans for tomorrow and I may join.?
? Ok...thanks!

there. Just let me know...I¡¯ll plan to be at trailhead 11am...Ann probably with me as well.?

This is Tom Love. Let me know what I need to bring and any particulars on meeting tomorrow. Not sure of my schedule the rest of the week.?
? Janet,?
I (and probably Ann) plan to get up on the north end trail Tuesday-Friday this week for a couple hours each day. Plan to snowshoe in and keep clearing what we can by hand. If interested, let me know and we could coordinate to meet at Burroughs trailhead
parking area. Greg
All,
Let me know when you¡¯re going out to work on North End trails. May be able to lend a hand!
Janet
Keith,
Think I could move as fast on snowshoes....small downed stuff everywhere...I¡¯d be stopping the sled every 10 feet. Hope to get it knocked out next week and then run the sled through there. Will update as to my adventures! Ol Haus

you won't try the snowmobile? Near as I can tell you have more than a mile of unpacked trail left. The good news is that it is in an area where there aren't a lot of conifers, and even the small maples shouldn't be too bad.
Wish we would get some really cold weather...for just a week or so mind you.
No one been in there to my knowledge.....hope to have the whole short loop snowshoed and cleared of small stuff this coming week (about a mile left I think)...also see what if any big deadfalls in there...doubt if I will get to Ruel Harmon outlet
next week. Ol Haus

you got the right guy involved there.?
So...has anyone been between Buffalo Lodge and Oconomowoc Junction? then between there and Ruehl Harmon? up and over to Sowl Trailhead and back to the Big Swamp?
Ken,
Went in on North End trail today with sleds & chainsaws. Ronnie Nelson along with me. Poked in at Kromroy path towards engine block. Cleared that deadfall on Kromroy outlet and the big monster tree beyond that. Bunch of small stuff as well. Then sledded in
to Big Swamp and turned around back out to Kromroy outlet. Burroughs trailhead to engine block looked dicey so didn¡¯t go in that way.
Then went to back to Burroughs trailhead and sledded in about 1.5 miles the other direction on the trail.
Wet conditions both ways but you can get in there on the sled. Middle mile of the short loop still an unknown...plan to get in there over the next week on ¡®shoes and see what¡¯s going on.
Owe Ronnie some beers!...he took down most of that big monster! Ann went in with us as well with clipper & machete and cleared more small stuff.
Now we just need some cold weather & fresh snow.
Will update after in there next.
