Seen this camera set up a month ago while southbound on the trail. Thought for a second, is that the trail cam I’ve been watching? Turns out it was! Thanks for doing this. Nice to see it when I’m back home in NY wishing I was on my machine.
Hi Dave, glad you are enjoying the camera! Looks like the season is over, but we can dream snowy dreams until a hopefully snow filled December 1!
As a former Michigander now living in Florida, I love the cam! We have a vacation home in Lewiston and get up there once or twice each winter for some snowmobiling. This camera is great for checking the conditions, and getting fired up for some fun!
Glad you found the camera!
this is a bang up idea and really cool. hope to see it in person one day soon. it gives me joy to see actual wind blowing and sleds passing by.thanks again Ken from millington,mi.
You’re welcome! It has been a nice addition to have an HD camera to see the snow detail. 🙂
just saw the groomer go by a moment ago, then a sled going the other way. this is sooo cool. I will be going by there myself tomorrow. awsome, thanks again Ken
Groomer sightings are the best! Check out this up close video from the end of January! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1712081215788682&id=101929179845076
OMG I LOVE IT!! Found by accident. It’s so cool hearing the birds, dogs, and sleds lol. I wish they would put these up all over the lower and upper, just in key places. Then us poor slobs in Ohio would know weather its worth making the trip or not. I can’t stop watching…even think I cried a little knowing I’m sitting here, not up there. It’s really awesome thanks to all that put forth the effort.
You’re welcome! Hoping in the summer we get a 2nd camera facing north. Yes, I would agree with the “poor slobs in Ohio” comment but not because you are not up here snowmobiling. There is a certain university that we don’t like very much from ohio. 😉
LOL thx for the Ohio, Michigan banter
All in good fun! We snowmobile crazies stick together regardless of location!
looking at the new snow today makes me wish this was Dec 1st, Not March 1st!
Thanks for the New Cam
Yes! Could still get out riding though! Let’s hope for a full winter March!
What kind of Camera are you using? Wouldn’t mind seeing if I could get one setup on Trail 30 near Farwell.
Hi, it is a Ubuiqiti Unifi G3 https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-UVC-G3-Unifi-Camera-G3perp/dp/B01EZYTYLC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488471188&sr=8-1&keywords=ubiquiti+g3 with a board on top of the pole to protect it from direct weather as it is not “IP66” (full weatherproof) rated. So far so good though!
awesome camera view, thank you very !
Glad you like it!
Nothing like a live trail report!!! Excellent good can’t wait for the other (old) camera. Will the old one still move when you get it up next year? Thanks again!!!
Hi John, we hope to put up the old camera, or a new camera, with or without movement. There is a significant cost difference once you add the movement, so we will see. The old camera works, but needs some TLC!
Any other cams you like??
I have not found any other live cams on snow trails.
This is awesome, I actually found this on my firestick tv through a kodi app the other night, thought it was In a different country so I got on the internet and did a search and found that it is in the Gaylord area on trail 7, as we try to ride that area once a year. some times I just leave it on all day so I can here the sleds fly by and wish I was up there riding being We have had no snow this year here in northern Indiana. This also gives us a good idea of how the trails are up there as well. I am sitting here watching this right now 2pm 2/12/2017 and you guys are getting some good snowfall heavy wind and I am setting here looking out my window at sunshine 50 degrees and green grass grinding my teeth. Wish there was one of these live cams with sound on trail 8 between Paradise and Pine stump as we like to ride that area as well. We Love riding up north.
Thanks for the live cam.
I can’t ride this year and your cam has allowed me ‘to be out there’ when my loved ones fly by. AWESOME CAM!! You have done a great job!!! Love the sound!!
Thanks! Glad you are able to enjoy it!
Awesome cam! Great location too which is rare . It’s hilarious when people know the camera is there, and they make all kinds of gestures driving past….Including myself.
Ha! It’s fun to watch people who see the camera.
Awesome smitty, I have a place in houghton lake but I like to see snowfall totals there too.. love the cam and audio
very cool! I will be there with the family on Feb 18th
Hoping the snow stays for a while longer!
Nice! I’d like to see one of these in Lakes of the North
That would be great!
wish there were more of these
That would be great! Mostly the issue is location. It just happens to work for where this camera is.
Thanks for having this! Sure is giving me the sledding fever! Heading back up from IN tomorrow!
You’re welcome! It’s been a decent year at least in Gaylord!
Great idea, thanks!
Thank you for visiting!
Great idea! Very cool
Love the Cam were about is this on trail #7 looks like Vanderbilt ?
It is just about 3.5 miles north of M-32 in Gaylord on Trail 7. At night you will see a light on. (most of the time)
thank you so much for keeping this going… it is nice to sit and watch it and imagine being there when you cant be…. lol thank you
I agree! Some people look at me oddly when I show them the camera. They say “so that’s it?” They just don’t get it and probably never will. #snowmobileblood
Awesome cam!
Thank you!
Great!!! Thank you
Kool…
Please let me know when “steve” is on the trails. I will stay home. Drinking and driving isn’t acceptable in our society. Ride all day have fun and drink when your sled is parked for the night. Love the open mic with the cam.
Awesome camera day or night. Need more through out the trails. Great job!!
Thanks! We hope to have the old camera setup this summer in the same location but facing north.
What kind of rules or Laws are they on trails about drinking etc.? Also what kind of emergency help like rescue squads on snowmobiles in case a ” serious” accident would occur are you required to have a registration so that you would be known that your out on a trail and check out when done using?
Hi Steve. Many of the rules are the same as for cars. The blood alcohol limit is the same. If you cannot drive a car, you are not allowed to drive a snowmobile. In terms of help on the trails, there is not a system to know who is out on the trail and where. Typically it is not advised to snowmobile alone for this reason. It is always best to have a riding buddy! And who wouldn’t want to go riding!? 🙂
This is so coll I love snow.
Thanks! Hope you can get out to ride the trails some time!
love the new cam thank you so very much
Thanks! It is much better image and having it stream through youtube makes it much more accessible! Glad you like it!
