Bergland Bay Bar

Weather: Colder.

Check out our Snowball Cancer Page.

25 degrees out right now, warmest it has been in 3 days. The Lake is frozen as far as the web cam can see. At least where my web cams are. It is going to be a while before it is ok to run the Lake though. Temps are warming back up for a few days. Riders have been heading north, seen picks from Twin Lakes. The Mosquito mush have had a few riders this weekend. Looks like we have a little warm up headed our way, with 39 and rain on Wednesday, sure would be nice if the temps dipped and snow fell instead. We will have to wait and see.

Since we have no snow, this is what I have been doing to entertain myself.

Weather: Colder.

6 degrees this morning but no snow. Actually that’s a good thing. We did need the cold first. Not what we wanted to see this morning, but it is for the best. I think the Keweenaw and over by Chassel got hit with Lake effect. Outside of a high Wednesday of 38 degrees the rest of the temps are below freezing, so we are making ice.

Weather: Colder and some snow.

Check out our Snowball Cancer Page.

Below freezing temps the next few days. And below freezing at night for a while. Bout time, now freeze up the Lake and the wet spots in the woods and then let the snow fall Mother Nature.

I don’t want anyone to get to antzy, this is only a start of what we desperately need. But temps are going in the right direction and we are seeing snow here and there in the forecast. I know everyone wants us to get dumped on but right now we need the cold weather first. Whatever you do, make sure you ask when you do come up about ice conditions on the Lake, it is getting to be late December and there is very little ice out there right now.

Weather: Below freezing for highs the next 3 days, and a little snow.

That’s right, 3 days in a row with below freezing temps for a high. Best news we have had in a while. There is even a little snow in our near future. We have a ways to go before the trails will be good enough to ride, but hopefully this is our start for this season. Don’t get your bags packed yet, we need more cold and snow.

Weather: Still sucks but getting better?

Terry Harms from Illinois is the rider the Bay Bar will be sponsoring on the Snowball Cancer 500 mile run on February 11th. One of Terry’s friends will also be taking the ride. I am putting up $500 of the $1000 needed for Terry and I will be taking donations for the other half of Terry’s donation and Terry’s friends donation. I also have another rider that may take the challenge, Matt Klug, we will be trying to help him out with donations also. Thank you guys, the Keller Family Community Foundation is a great cause. Now all we have to do is raise another $2500 to help these guys out.

With the help of Mike Peters the KFCF is working on a Snowmobile Cancer shirt. Click here  to add a name to the shirt to honor someone’s fight with cancer.

Here is a draft of the shirt, I’ll see what I can do to have them in the bar to sell. 

Sorry, no joke today.

Weather: Still sucks but getting better.

White stuff out the web cams once again. Although trails aren’t any good yet it is still refreshing to see they are the right color anyway. We probable got about 3-4 inches of Slush-snow. Temps are starting to go back down in the right direction for a few days and hopefully the long term will dip lower and lower. For right now all we can do is wait and hope. And pray.

Nick Keller (The Milage Man), the guy on the Yamaha that ride like Forest Gump runs stopped in yesterday. He has retired Mary Jane, (the sled he rode for 99,956 miles) and it is headed for St. Germain to go into the Snowmobile Hall of Fame and Museum . I took a pic of the sled on the trailer on back of his truck but I don’t have my phone cable here.

Nick told me he is doing a 500 mile ride on February 11th and inviting 20 people to tag along. A $1000 donation is asked for to ride along with him. Nick already has 14 riders committed to ride with him and we don’t even have snow yet. When we get snow these 6 slots will be gone. I told Nick that I will sponsor a sled, so all I need is a rider with some balls, or a lady without (one Lady is already in the group of 14 riders) to commit to ride 500 miles on the 11th.

I think We have our rider but Terry please email me back.

Weather: Mild temps STILL.

Usually when people have nothing to talk about they bring up the weather. But since the weather is not worth talking about I have to find something else to talk about. So…….

Nick also informed me that a Polaris has never made the 500 mile trip with him and he would like to see one join the group (Hey Polaris Dan, you reading this?)

If you are interested contact me and I will put you in contact with Nick.

I am going to put up $500 of the $1000, I will be taking donations for the other $500, If we raise more than $1000, the extra will go to the Keller Family Community Foundation also. (Don’t worry we will make the $1000).

So what do you say? Anyone up for the challenge?

Weather: Mild temps.

Temps for the next week are looking a little better. But what is a little better than sucks? Sips maybe?

Sorry people but I am having a hard time writing about stuff here, guess that is why it is hard to find anything on anyone’s trail report. But leave it to me to bring the bad news as well as the good news.

On a better note I had 3 snowmobilers in yesterday, they did not have snowmobiles but they came in while making their rounds anyway. Thanks Ralph, Curly and their buddy in orange who’s name I forgot.

Weather: Mild temps.

I think Scrooge is controlling the weather. Temps need to drop and Mother Nature is not cooperating.

I kind of got a big head this morning, a little too much whiskey last night.

Weather: Mild temps.

Forecasts for next weel keep changing, not for the better either I’m afraid. Gas is down, propane is down and snow is down. I wish I could say 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

I went to Duluth to pick up Mom yesterday. Found some cool candy cane lights I put out front of Mom’s house. I was looking at decorations and seen lighted signs to put in the windows. I looked all over to find the “Merry Christmas” one, but they were all out. They had plenty of “Happy Holidays” and “season Grettings” ones but no “Merry Christmas” ones. Instead of being pissed they were out I was happy. Screw all you people that don’t want to say Merry Christmas anymore. LOL
