At home, I do the basic weed/feed and such for a descent lawn. It looks real nice but honestly I dont want to spend the extra money or time to make it really nice, I have too many summer hobbies for that. At our lakehouse, we do not use much, mostly sand. We really try to keep stuff (nitrates...

Although this has been a discussion for quite sometime it is always good getting opinions out there for the benefit of the sport. Just my opinion, I welcome the increase in trail passes, although it does seem steep. Conversley, have a small trail pass increase every year is the way to go, it...

That is great and maybe a model for others to consider...at least for the clubs that I am more aware of.

The demgraphics of sledding are definitely changing. Seems the younger generations are not as interested in sledding. My kids are not interested in sledding, they love to side by side and have chosen to spend their money there instead of chasing the white gold. As far as trespassing/online...

I've already golfed 3 rounds in northern Illinois. Probably done for the year sledding, had another good season. Not really in the mood to drag the sled back out and pay $5 a gallon in diesel costs after I got all my trips plus in this year. Cabin up north is shut down, won't open it back til...

This... The polaris 650 is an amazng sled and one that I am seriously considering. Ski doo could have matched or beat polaris in that market. I have a ski doo 850 mxz xrs, great sled and no complaints. But, I can rip a 650 in the trails almost as fast as my 850 ski doo, although the ski doo...

I didn't watch either but I don't let these political games by either side let me being a complainer and get me all riled up.. Its not worth the time or energy and I am a grown man and can make my own decisions and not be told what to think....pretty pathetic really.

This is basically why I like riding at night much better. I've always thought the Most dangerous hours of riding is between 4-7 PM when all these groups that have stopped for last beers before heading home.

This occurred quite a few years ago around the Cable area and the backlash against it was so loud that this so the first large deployment I have heard of since. It drove tourists away from that area and the business's complained en mass... As for me, like most said, I am not against...

My three boys tried and never really loved sledding. They like it and might take the sled for a spin but I don't see them buying one in the near future. Now SXS is different, they love that and ride a good amount when at the cabin in Hayward. I can see them purchasing an SXS in their future...or...

Problem is that people stopped drinking bud light,which I never liked and also gave me headaches, and switched to Busch Light.

Great news! Those side routes make riding north of mass worth it (just IMO cause I do not enjoy riding the grade) If 13 can every be re routed that would be amazing also, one of my favorite trails.

That was my group...we hung those TV's in the bar the day before and had a great convo with the owners so we came back to watch the game. Yeah it was good bantering and all is well. Nice new owners at Beavers.

Its the knucklehead few of every side that ruin it for the greater. We have a place in Hayward and its a big mix of pack, vikes and bears fans. Never had an issue but good ribbing. We were up in Mercer for the Bears/Pack playoff game and plenty of trash talking but we all laughed and shook hands...

you are correct on the college formal cap...I meant to say the overall amount they can get including thrid party revenues. Which is obviously extremely difficult to monitor and enforce. With so manu donors with big pockets its becoming unreal. My alumna mater UIUC had a athletic specific...
