13acres Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hey PLL, Sent some guys from the D west trail your way on Saturday for lodging. I met up with them again on Sunday on the D101B and they raved about your place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLL Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thanks All. We are just so appreciative of all the OC support as we work through the growing pains of new ownership here. Yes, we will be looking at sponsorship on the site, just ironing out a few other 'issues' first...one being TIME! Days go by like fence posts on a country road around here We are super busy this weekend and I am spending a lot of time gearing up for that. Midweek riding is awesome. Looking to get a sign up at that junction, just need to get a sign made up since the ones we had on hand are all out there now. Live music in the Dining Room on Sunday night with the eclectic guitar stylings of local legend Johnny 'Hawk' Melanson. Very excited and tired...somebody call the Whaaa-mbulance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go ask him about it right now More to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarylarry Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hey Giddy-Up how were the trails today. the trails around Clear lake to Sprucedale and south towards Huntsville were brutle on Sat. It's AMAZING what groomers can do in 1 night! They were outstanding today! Rode the D thru Sprucedale up the 704 to 711 - these trails had been freshly groomed with a dusting of powder on top...they must have been groomed on Sunday night because they had set up really nice Then took the 706 to D123. The 706 had been freshly groomed - but was still rough in some spots....not bad though. The D123 had been groomed on Sunday night and was in great shape. Took D123 to Pickeral Lake Lodge for lunch...then 303 to Edgewater...then 302 to Kearney. An outstanding day on the trails! Mid-week riding is the best - I think you guys should take a couple of sick days and get out there! There certainly was a ton of traffic on the weekend - 1 fatality on the D near Sprucedale unfortunately as well I'll be there tonite. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLL Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Roger said there is a sign at that junction, but maybe it's not obvious enough. He assured me he is going to fix it. Groomer just stopped in for a soda and said he did the D123 from Burk's Falls to The Lookout and the Outhouse, which is from the D on 300 to the 304. Tommorrow he's finishing the D123 from the 300 to the 306 & D. He also says he has no idea which ones 'the other guys' are doing. Hope that helps!

PLL Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Whew! What a weekend! Busiest one yet, by far. On Saturday evening we only had one room in the whole place available! Sunday's Valentine's Day Special went over very well if all the compliments to the chef were any indication. And the live music from local guitarist Johnny 'Hawk' Melanson topped off a great night too. Thanks to all who stopped in and said Hi. Ted, it was nice to meet you. The trails are still pretty decent here, although our groomer friend says we could use a bit more snow. Guests and visitors are all happy for the most part. Anywho, more guests are inbound and the dining room keeps on churning out good eats. Sledders are great customers! Hope to see you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannomatic Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 He was one of the good guys.... My condolences to his family, friends and his community. They all will miss him I'm sure. Hi All, I just ran into your thread here as I was searching around online. I'm Danny Nedelko, Dusan's little brother. I just wanted to thank you all for your condolences and great things you've said about my brother. He and I were extremely close and I know how excited he was about PLL and the community around sledding. I stayed at PLL during the services and memorials for about a week, and I'm not sure but may have met a few of you. We're setting up the Dusan Nedelko Foundation - Enabling Youth Through Outdoor Activity. PLL will obviously be a big part of it and we'll be carrying on Dusan's love of the outdoors and mentoring youth in the community. I'll keep in touch with news and updates. Thanks a million everyone during a pretty rough time for the entire family. Dan Nedelko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
