Name is Bob Walton. I live on Schoodic. Just below Deadman's Rock. Naw, I usually don't do the Derby. Too crowded. I fish during the week as I'm retired, when I'm not riding. Mostly ride by myself or with Garvin Graves, the Philbrooks or once in awhile Louie Brown and his son's.

My visit
I got up to "The County" last Feb.. Plan was to ride north from Presque Isle, place we were at was 3 blocks from the trail. Not enough snow so we took off from the rental place which was north of Caribou, Ray's or something I think was the name of the shop. Anyway, I had a Vector lined up, the other 3 where Pol's. I was riding with a couple of rookies and another that hadn't ridden anything since our '72 338's when we were kids.
The area was very senic and a lot more variety than MI trails, UP or LP. We rode to St. Agatha, Van Buren and back down through Stockholm. We had a local couple that led the way, which was great, until he took a buried railroad marker with a ski and had to side saddle the last 30 miles.
I didn't care for the signing, somewhat confusing, never thought I could get separated from a group on basically a railroad grade, ha.
Powerlines we ran were fairly rough, but wouldn't have been bad on a decent sled, the Vector I was on must have been tired cause the suspension couldn'[t keep up with the big rollers, bottomed constantly even on the stiff setting. The Pol's were worse and I had to trade with the ladies or not hear the end of the complaining.
I would love to get out for another ride and play in some more off trail areas, not much powder, fields of play were crusted over for the most part which isn't good for carving and such, not that we had the machines for it, but still.
In fact I would contemplate going to Maine instead of West since I enjoy trial riding.
Not sure what the name was of the restaurant on the lake that we stopped at for a burger, but it sure was snowmobiler friendly and was one of a few I would frequent out there if a local!
As for ME vs. MI, they both have their plus and minuses, I didn't think traffic in popular areas was that different compared to the UP but better than Grayling/Gaylord areas.
Definitely worth the ride. Wish I had more pictures but we wasted those down in Bar Harbor.

Sounds like the place you ate was on Long Lake. The very instant you described it, i thought of the place i went when we rode up to Ft. Kent. I forget the name of the joint, but it was right off the lake, up a little hill. The food was awesome and they even had Slednecks on the big screen!

i was in once since matt f took it over, muchhhhhh cleaner.
maybe i have seen you there before at at the lake, i would have had a black srx or a black viper.
lake view resturant is the place, great food and dick always seem to descriminate on the waitresses if you know what i mean.
the sporting club is a rip off, dont eat there.
