If you were a top Coburn mountain today, this is what you would see.
Month: February 2011
Presidents Day 2011
Another beautiful day in Jackman…a day to celebrate Abe Lincoln and George Washington. In their honor and to freshen your knowledge of history, I had to share this poem with you.
PRESIDENTS DAY
Back in Seventeen ninety-six
Is when this Holiday began
For the birthday of ol George
At least that was the plan.
It was his last full year
Of his Presidency
Born February twenty-second
Or the Eleventh, cause you see
The old calendar was different
Than the one we use today
And some celebrated one
Some people on the other day.
By the early Nineteenth Century
Celebrated every year
Birthnight Balls were held
Taverns reveled in good cheer.
Public figures gave their speeches
And Receptions given by a few
Then along came ol Abe Lincoln
His Birthday in February too.
In Eighteen and sixty-five
The year after Booths fatal shot
Both Houses of Congress gathered
For a Memorial and solemn thought.
Not a Federal Holiday like Georges
But legal in more than one State
And then a Resolution was enacted
Back in Nineteen sixty-eight.
They made the third Monday of the month
To make for a three day weekend
To honor Washington and Lincoln
And this story comes to its end.
~Del “Abe” Jones~

Jackman Snowmobile Trails 2011
This is a picture taken from the inside one of our trail groomers.
The rain yesterday has not affected our trails much at all. It is snowing again today.
All trails seems to still be in great shape. Some have complained to trails south of Coburn Mtn not as pristine but otherwise, our guests are having a great time and say the trail riding is excellent 😀
Jackman Maine Weather
We had some rain this morning but it seems to be cooling off this afternoon. The weather forecast is just that…lower temperatures, wind and snow again tomorrow.
SO no fear ❗ Riding will still be great here ❗
As for the trails…as of yesterday, reports are that the trails are excellent ❗ Most told us that some of the trails around the Forks though have not been groomed. The Long Pond Loop was fun and Coburn Mountain was a challenge but good. Otherwise, they recommend staying north of town. A popular destination this year is to ride to the “Old Trains” off Eagle Lake. It is about a 300 mile round trip.
SO we will see you soon! THINK SNOW! As riding should be good through March.
Play in the snow this winter
Yes it is true. There is so much more to do in Jackman in the winter then snowmobile or ice fish. Pull out those cross country skis and make tracks.
Did you get a new snowboard this year? What better way to learn without paying extra at a ski resort?
Bring the kids up and just play outside. Remember when we were kids…what fun it was to build an igloo, or throw snowballs.
Even if you are not an outdoor person, you have to appreciate the beauty of a snowy field as you drive along a road,
the glistening of snow as the sun shines on it, or simply, enjoy a game of monopoly with the family or your friends in a warm cabin.
Just getting away from your daily hustle and bustle to beat the winter humdrum is so worth the trip. So come on up to Cozy Cove Cabins, be a kid again and enjoy the fun parts of winter (when you are not the one who has to do the shoveling:lol: )
Winter fun without a snowmobile

Happy Valentine Weekend
We hope that you and your special valentine are spending a wonderful weekend together.
Superbowl Sunday SNOW day
We woke this morning to over a foot of snow. Another beautiful morning in Jackman but hurry…move that snow as there is a game to watch tonight 😉
Good day for Ice Fishing
Rob and friends came for a weekend of Ice Fishing and had a great time!
The winter beauty of Jackman Maine
We woke to over a foot of fresh fluffy snow in Jackman this morning. And OH MY GOODNESS! It is simply beautiful today.
Although I did not capture what I saw this morning on the above image, let me tell you, it was magical: the sun was hitting the fresh white snow on the pond and glistening off the ice shacks, with a light mist hovering over the river… all with a blue sky background and white in the trees and on the mountains.
I wish you were here to really see it.
