Wonderful and amazing good wishes and blessings for you in the new year!!

 The week of the holidays has gone by very fast - a trip to Escanaba( *2.5 hours one way and it being Christmas eve and our daughter Amy's birthday! )to check out the furnace that wasn't running even though Randy though it was all set for winter travels

We acutually figured out the problem using the internet the day after!!

Lots of snow machines up her this last week - and of course the loggers plowing what we had planned was going to be part of the trail!

For us while training in the last week were three major snags!!  We were going down the 7 mile fire land and what to our wondering eyes should appear...........but a logging truck turning onto the same trail we were on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so luckily he backed up and we were able to go past him!!

And then 2 days later we get to the end of our across the road east trail at the parking lot before we cross the road to come home...........and there is a major size dump truck and a thing that was lifting this humongous snow plow onto the front of a major dump truck!  God bless Randy to decide to use the snowmahcine to train that day because he was able to stop them, I ran out ahead and made sure they had a path and have the follow me onto out trail across the road and home!!  When I first went up to see how it would be possible to ge get through I thought "pretty bad!!!

We think we are pretty ready for the race this weekend at Tahquamenn as good the trails are currently and expected sn0w  the end of the week
