    My final sunrise

    Congrats on the retirement. I joined that club 10 years ago. Wake up in the morning, don't know what day it is and don't care because every day is a day off. Enjoy it.

    Met with one of our groomers on Sunday who told me that Presque Isle/Winchester trails passed inspection by the county last week and are near perfect. Also spoke with our club president today who told me that they are waiting until after the alliance meeting tomorrow night and Vilas county will...

    Sub-zero temps all day yesterday in Presque Isle. Supposed to warm to a balmy 11 degrees today. The Presque Isle/Winchester trail system has been inspected by the county and has passed. Web site says opening will occur soon. Groomers have been out the past few days and on my brief adventure out...

    Thank you for the clarification. I wish I could find some kind of update on that or press release. Can't find anything about it on AWSC website. Would be good for people to know what's open and what's not in Vilas. Either way, looks like this year with the recent snowfall it's a non-issue.

    I'm headed north tomorrow Hermie and will find out if the trails got inspected. Also, I will talk to our club president who is very active with the county administration regarding different clubs opening individually. I forgot about muzzle-loader season so maybe we will be riding at the...

    Great News for Ontario, Ca!

    Maybe in my young and dumb days but now, not a chance. I would be the guy doing a 3-point turn and going back the other way.

    I talked to a club member yesterday and we are hearing that the Presque Isle/Winchester trails will be inspected Friday the 12th and if it goes well the trails could open this weekend. I was also told that there was a change that would allow Vilas County club trails being opened individually...

    Snow Reports for 11-29 and the Weekend

    Just under a foot in Park Ridge IL. Another couple predicted for tomorrow and Wednesday. That should bring us close to last year's total for the season.

    Hey Chicago, Grab Your Wiener

    I have to agree with you. Don't ask for ketchup on your dog or you might get beat up. Superdawg on Milwaukee @ Devon a close second.

    Thanksgiving's Top 5 on the Side

    I'll go with the stuffing, green bean casserole and our family does pierogis as a side from the polish ancestors. Hard pass on sweet potatoes. My mom used to force me to eat that as a kid along with beets. Most of it wound up in my hoody pocket and pitched outside as soon as I could. Only...

    Maybe, just maybe……

    27"-41" in Ironwood????? Been a long time since we saw numbers like that from one storm. I guess that we can wait and see....and hope. That would be a great start for the season if it doesn't get warm and melt all of it.

    Bought our little seasonal cabin in Presque Isle in 1997. Bulldozed and built year-round home in 2000. Someone gave me a cabin logbook gift when we first bought. I figured it would probably be good to keep a record of when we came and left, fish caught and where, weather conditions when we were...
