Our snowmobile trip to Errol New Hampshire was great! One of the better snowmobile trips we have had this year. We stayed at a private camp on Millsfield Pond in Errol which was directly on the groomed trail system.

We arrived late Friday night (March 2) around 10:00pm and parked just off Rt.16 where we had a 7 mile ride just to get to the camp. We packed our stuff on a jet sled and headed in. When we got to the camp we dumped off our stuff and everyone was anxious to go riding, so we headed out around 11:00pm and found the trails in the areas were just groomed and were the most amazing trails I have ever been on. They were must smoother than the roads we just drove on to get there. The snowmobile club in Errol, The Umbagog Snowmobile Association did miracles with those trails.

We headed back to camp around 2:00am and planned a trip to the Sno-Deo at Coleman State Park in West Stewartstown, New Hampshire.

Saturday morning we headed out early and took snowmobile trail #5 to the Sno-Deo. We have never been there before, so didn't know what to expect. We soon realized that there were a lot more snowmobiles in the area than we thought. It looked like a Wal-Mart parking lot filled with sleds! There was not much to do there. We walked around and got a good look at everything. The antique snowmobiles were definitely the most interesting part of the day. And we also got to see the new line of snowmobiles for Artic Cat, Polaris and Ski Doo. The radar run looked like fun, but I must admit, I am not much of a snowmobile racer yet, maybe next year. We stayed for about an hour and headed out only to find NH Fish and Game handing out tickets to people. We must have passed the test as we came out ok.

Sunday was more quiet as everyone was sore from the 200 mile weekend and no one had the energy to get back out there. We packed up and got ready to go home. We did find the energy for just one more blast around the bog.

As we got back to the Rt. 16 parking lot and packed the trailers we were blessed with the pleasure of seeing the sweetest thing ever. A group of snowmobiles going by. One of them decided that we needed to be covered in snow so he spun his sled and nailed the gas, as he went by he not only missed us with the spray of snow, he also rolled his sled into the ditch. Once we knew he was ok, we tried to control our laughter but failed miserably. Who ever you were, you sure made our day... Thanks!!! LOL

Fast Facts About This Trip:
The Good:	Plenty of parking and businesses in the area cater to snowmobiles. The views are gorgeous! People who roll their sleds while trying to cover us in snow... still laughing about that one!!
The Bad:	The slush at the pond during the Sno-Deo. 2 feet of slush to be exact! Yuk! Next year will be better I hope.
The Ugly:	The dead moose we saw on the side of RT. 16 that got hit.
Tips to Remember:	Caution: A snowmobile trail groomer travels at an average speed of only 5-8 MPH. Snowmobile riders need to use "extreme caution" on the trails and always be on the lookout for groomers. Many of the grooming machines are exceptionally wide and long, so you as the snowmobile driver need to give the right-of-way, and always slow down when approaching a groomer. Most cell phones do not work in Errol, NH.
