-went to Tavern for a drink and to warm up, met a couple from Williamson (optical engineers)

Headed up Uncas Rd... very flat... including the trolly bed... had a little laugh in my helmet about the Uncas Rd pile up last year and Vinnie missing the end of the trolley bed trail.
-Burgers at the Tap Room, Firtherr gets dbl cheeseburger
-Rooms available
-No Smoking in Tap Room, they were busted in June

Back down Uncas to Inlet, then Old Barn
-Irish Coffee with Bush Hill Whiskey was OK
-No Bird Seed yet...

Leaving the Old Barn we headed to the Big T with a stop at Sharon's Dare Devil Pit. Trail was bumpy... go figure

On the way back jumped on FX Matts (stopped at the Big-D in the Ditch site), headed over to South Shore Rd and the Saylor Camp. All is well down by Gull Rock.

Riding South Shore to Inlet, spotted some deer crossing the road. Stopped at Woods Inn.
-No Tracks jumping on lake
-Does Kelly have new big ideas?
-Had to leave quickly do to a plumbing issue

Left Woods Inn and headed to Glenmore via 5-9-2 then down Big Moose Rd. Yes you guessed it.... another Irish Coffee. College Bartenders were in :-) On the way... I was thinking about what Kelly said.....
-"Your body has to get use to the cold" hmmmm is this true... Of Course it is because A) I was feeling much warmer B) Kelly is smart and C) She is a bartender for Christ sakes

Took Big Moose Rd to 5 then stopped at North Woods Inn... Bartender is a 'Cuse fan. Learned about the Adirondack Ice Bowl & studied the map.

Took 5 all the way into Old Forge... very smooth and fast...

Loaded up and hit the road... Last 3 stops, Byrne Dairy (coffee), Hieds (dogs) Mulconrys (scotch)

Weird stuff
-dumb - guy driving a power wheel chair thru the snow on rt 365
-dumber - cross country skier on trail 9

.....A Little Didy.....

Traveling up we drove big blue

Fired up our mighty ski-doo

What trail to ride 3, 5 or 2?
