I apologize for the lengthy post but here is a summary of the trip I took a few weeks ago riding the NWOSTA Wilderness Loop. The trip was Tuesday through Sunday with those days being travel days and riding Wednesday through Saturday. We were originally planning on starting this trip from...

UPDATE: Just got the sled back from the dealer this weekend. The culprit was loose terminals for the main relay. They were able to get it started and then wiggled the relay causing the sled to shut off. They replaced the terminals in the fuse box and problem was fixed. I took the sled...

Thanks for all the info. I didn’t want to waste anymore time on a short trip messing with it so i ended up renting a sled and was able save the weekend with the kids. Local dealer load tested the battery when I picked up my rental and it was good. That was about the extent of...

Thanks for the info, we are good to go. He's been a passenger for years and only driven in the fields and on lakes but never the trail and never in Illinois. Probably going to drop early tomorrow morning around Rockdale and head west towards Morris. I'm hoping the we can navigate around the...

Thanks.

Anyone know what the big stakes and roped off section on buckskin lake is all about? It was on the north side near where the trail meets the lake.

Nevermind. Just ran it. Not marked but a ton of tracks across it

Anyone know if Tomahawk or Katherine are marked yet?

Has anyone ever been sledding around Vail, CO? I am going out there next week for my wife's work conference and have some free time. I am looking to do some riding with another guy in the group. I found a place called Nova guides that rents out of the area (Polaris RMK600). Just looking for...
