So making a purchase at the end of the season.... although my HJC CL-14 with deflector & snowmobile shield has been doing quite well - it's time to get a proper helmet. I have tried both on and they both seem to fit fine. They both also have what I am looking for - exhaust vent & sealed mask...

Seems to be a trend.... so here we go. Drove up from Chicago on Friday night, picked up 24hr rentals from MPS in Marquette and put on about 225 miles :) SPOT Tracker: https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=88d552cc94378ae72 MPS to Crossroads for brunch, then Mount Marquette, a dozen sled-dog...

Without pissing off residents (trespassing) or running down bare roads or with difficult bank riding (I will have newbies in tow) - is there a relatively easy way to access the Eben Ice Caves by sled? Looks like 8 @ Eben Junction & heading north along Eben Road is the most direct route - but...

Greetings all - almost time for my annual trip bringing fellow Chicagoland motorcyclists to the UP for some sanity. Have several repeat attendees this year - so I am wanting to change things up from our regular MQT-KI-PR-MUN-MQT loop, and want to make sure I have some bases covered. 1> Fuel...

I'm leading a group up there next weekend, and it's been a few years - but if memory (and looking at trail and street maps) serve - I can take 8 to Sundell Road and head north from there, crossing 94. Is there any signage on the trail at/near Sundell, pointing to the Falls? Thanks!

Greetings, Planning stages for my annual group sled trip to the UP and have a question. With the Red Fox Inn being closed as well as Tailwinds - and no real other business draw to the base for sledders - is the spur that heads north off trail 8 and comes up behind Tailwinds still going to be...

Double whammy this year - first Red Fox Inn closes, now Midway has stopped doing sled rentals. I do an annual trip with friends from here in Chicago... and am now in need of a source. Anyone? Thanks in advance!

So I was up in Gwinn visiting dad over Xmas and decided to rent a sled on Dec 27th. After putting on 200 miles during the day (mqt-gwinn-ki-munising-pictured rocks-munising-christmas-marquette-heading to ki) I am heading south on 8 at about 10pm and rounding the two 90 degree turns near the...

Didn't make the entire loop around because someone got sick and went back to the hotel for a few hours, then felt better and we doubled back to get them - but we still managed to put on 250 miles in 24 hours, which is pretty good for most of them being first-time riders. Everyone had a blast...

Some of you guys might recall on the old board when I was posting up info and questions regarding bringing some motorcycle friends from Chicago up to my old stomping grounds around KI/Gwinn/Mqt for their first sled trip... here is a post about it I made to our motorcycle forum - so excuse some...
