Trail report March 2023

WE HAVE THE SNOW!

I got a call yesterday from a guest in Massachusetts and said she saw that we have snow!   Really?  Does everyone south of Maine not realize that Jackman has snow for riding and ice for fishing until at least the end of March?

Yes the past few years have been sketchy but it seems we are back to olur normal now.   So riding should be good the rest of the season.  The BRC will continue to groom until there is no riding options.

Right now, our trails as well as surrounding club trails are in fantastic condition. You can find their trail reports on facebook.  We had a couple small storms this week, about 3-5 inches in town. Higher elevations usually get more.   Another small storm today and the forecast is for another snow event next weekend.

It’s OK if you do not ice fish, or snowmobile…bring the kids and go sledding or just enjoy some quiet time.  March is typically snowy but not as blustery as January or February.

We still have a couple cabins open in March for the weekends. Plus don’t forget about our mid week discount.

Everyone had an incredible holiday weekend here at Cozy Cove Cabins.   The trails are not pristine yet but the ice on Big Wood is solid. I do not have a camera with a wide enough angle to capture all the activity out there. Lots of folks out there.

Then we have a young one racing dad on the little racetrack by the shore.                               I think the 5 year old won.

 

Great weather for fishing, relaxing or socializing around a campfire .

Get out there and enjoy the day.

CP Railroad Holiday train stopped in Jackman today. Many locals had the chance to see it all lit up when it arrived around 5am.What an incredible site.

But here is a photo from above (Thanks Bill) during the 30 minute concert.

Hot chocolate, coffee and cookies were free to all. Food and monetary donations made to support the Jackman Food bank. Special shout out to Missy Newman for organizing this. Good job to all that helped and to all that donated!

 

 

Hello March 2022

All in all, the winter season has been almost back to normal.  Yes we have these crazy warm days then it gets cold again.  We had rain yesterday and now it is snowing again. The forecast is for 2 inches or so.  Luckily we have a good base so they are still riding.  Just watch out for those icy corners.

If you are coming up this weekend, be sure to stop in at the Northland for the Border Riders Club auction.  It is always  lot of fun.

For the rest of the month, anyone who stays with us,if you pay in cash or check you get a free Cozy Cove Cabins grocery bag.  Just the perfect sine to pop over to the market for the milk, bread and deserts you may have forgotten.

Another snowy week.

The snow has been falling off and on all week.  This made for a pretty photo the pother night.  Thanks Kelly for sharing this.  If the snow keeps up our friend, Ralph the Moose is not going to be seen from the road anymore.

Winter fun in Jackman

The new year started out with not enough snow to ride but there are other things to do if you need a get away.

The first thought is Ice Fishing!  Big wood has at least 7 inches.  There was so much activity out there on the 1st, you would think it was party time!

How about snow shoeing or cross country skiing? There is enough snow on the ice to do this or utilize the trails at Sky Lodge.  If you do not have your own, you can rent them at Unity College: Sky Lodge.

Or maybe build a snowman or have a snowball fight?    Just get outside and enjoy some fresh air.

 

The pandemic continues

Posted by tami cozycove on in Cozy Cove Cabins News, Winter Fun

It seems every state in the country have seen more and more positive tests.  In some areas, it is hard to comprehend the magnitude of this pandemic. Smaller and rural communities keep to themselves for the most part so the spread is minimal.  But it is happening out there.

SO in the upcoming months., if you plan to visit our small community, this is what the current Maine guidelines from our Governor say:

Maine has three options for visitors to or from other states: 1) getting a recent negative COVID-19 test (further defined below);  2) maintaining compliance with a 10-day quarantine upon arrival in Maine; 3) being exempted from the testing or quarantine requirement if you are a resident of the following states: New Hampshire, Vermont.   Face coverings are REQUIRED by all in any indoor setting.    Thee seems to be multiple options to get tested prior to leaving your state or on arrival.                                                                                       This is what is posted on The Maine Tourism site :
” We urge visitors to “Know Before You Go.” That means getting tested for COVID-19 and receiving results in your home state before traveling to Maine. If you cannot or choose not to get tested in your own state, you can get tested upon arrival. Maine now has Swab and Send PCR test sites available without physician referral in over 30 locations statewide, including the Portland Jetport—where HR Rapid Testing is available for only $25. Be sure to make an appointment in advance so you can travel with confidence.”                                                           More details of Maine guidelines can be found here: www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/epi/airborne/documents/frequently-asked-questions.pdf
  

As with this summer guests, people traveled to stay here and in sporting camps all over Maine.  They respected the communities, wore face coverings, brought their own supplies as much as possible. They went fishing, ATVing, boating, and hiking with those in their group. On one weekend this summer, I had 4 or 5 different groups down near the water and all kept their distance, played in the water, but separate from others and yet talked, shared experiences and concerns even,  but simply, they wanted to just enjoy the outdoors.

Winter ice fishing and snowmobilers can do the same thing.

So to make it easiest for those out of state visitors to Maine, get a test, be sure and enjoy the outdoors.

Guest Journal entry March 2020

Posted by tami cozycove on in Guest Journal Entries, Winter Fun

A journal entry from a family who stayed with us this weekend.

“A wonderful family getaway to escape the world and craziness of the covid-19 pandemic. Nothing like the great outdoors of Northern Maine to relax and refresh the soul.

We rode snowmobiles, ice-fished (caught 2 trout), saw 12 deer, sled, ate, drank, smiled a lot, completed the puzzle here in Cabin 4 (took 4 days) and very much enjoyed the sunsets from the Eagle’s Nest.

Just love the good ol’ fashioned Maine hospitality here at Cozy Cove Cabins.

Thanks Steve and Tami!! Be back real soon! Peace and love”
