CANTWELL 12/22/06

[BACKWOODSLODGE]

:D HELLO TO ALL!!

WELL, SOME SNOW HAS FINALLY HIT CANTWELL. WE HAVE 12" ON THE GROUND AT THE LODGE. CURRENT TEMP IS +3.

WE FEEL CERTAIN THAT THERE IS MORE SNOW IN THE HILLS. THERE HAVE BEEN MUSHERS ON THE DENALI, BEFORE THE LAST SNOW. THERE IS THE UNKNOWN OBSTACLE ON THE ROAD (I THINK THEY CALL THEM ROCKS). IF YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT THE DENALI AWAYS YOU MIGHT HAVE A GOOD SHOT A SOME POWDER RIDING. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OVERFLOWS IN AND AROUND CANTWELL ON THE JACK RIVER AND NENANA. CAUTION IS ADVISED.

THIS IS A QUOTE FROM THE DENALI NATIONAL PARK "DUE TO THE LACK OF ADEQUATE SNOW COVER, ALL AREAS OF THE 1980 ADDITIONS TO DENALI NATIONAL PARK AND PRESERVE REMAIN CLOSE TO THE USE OF SNOWMOBILES FOR TRADITIONAL ACTIVITIES. DETERMINATION TO OPEN AREAS FOR USE WILL BE MADE WHEN SNOW CONDITIONS ALLOW." THIS PRESS RELEASE WAS DATED 12/13/06. FOR MORE INFO YOU CAN CALL THE DNP @907-683-9583. "MAPS WITH GPS COORDINATES FOR THE PARK AND PRESERVE BOUNDARY ARE AVAILABLE ON THE PARK WEBSITE AT WWW.NPS.GOV/DENA "

THERE HAS BEEN SOME LOCAL RIDING DURING THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT NO REPORTS OF CONDITIONS FURTHER OUT OF TOWN.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
