You can definitely access UP trail 2 on FRs from Phelps we did it 100 times if not more. Idk if this is a good year to venture out on unplowed FRs you will have to clear trees first. Venturenorth and I kept FRs clear for years and it was a job and half but worth it for us. Probably a lot of...

Calling the parking lot “shed the sled “walk to downtown biz. I remember being able to access downtown biz from the back doors some years ago. I guess can’t do that anymore.

Yes I didn’t think Forest was open yet but still early. I was surprised 3 lakes local trail access was shut down to designated parking area and walk in. When did they start that and is there a trail to the Shell Station?

Yep that is the trend clubs are warning little interest in running existing clubs and fewer and fewer to do the work so don’t be surprised if we fold next season. The writing is on the wall that the current system is not working. I don’t have any answers other than younger members need to step...

Gary I appreciate all your efforts and completely understand the root of your frustration. No biz can stay on top of its game without improvement and changes. Please keep on keeping on it would not be good for any of us if you left. I too hope changes and improvements are in the wind and will...

Hopefully we will start seeing ride reports for Northwoods including Three Lakes , Forest , Vilas and UPMI Big Snow Country. For me I like to string multiple locations together to have a least 150 mile RT. I don’t care to ride an island but that’s me to each his own.

So how would that work pay to play can’t get in unless you’re a paid member? Just the discussion board or entire website?

I think we set a new record for discussion board downtime. I’m not convinced it’s corrected and has to do with traffic. Not good for loyal members so make sure you have alternate methods to contact friends.

Yep been hit or miss all week completely down Friday. Gary says ownership is aware pop ups on top of pop ups. 🤷‍♂️

Club opening date was discussed at recent meetings but no public online release that I can find either. Who knows why?

Yes Vilas Clubs can open without all or nothing vote. Lando has been good to go for awhile but didn’t want to be a trail island no where to go north , south , east or west. Lando always been known as the Gateway to the UP but Watersmeet and Iron Range technically were open but you couldn’t ride...

Thanks Hermie👍

Best to tell members it’s a cat crosstour 1100 4s for spare relays not a Yamaha or doo engine. Polaris very limited in 4s models most discontinued so I wouldn’t expect them to be much help.

Ken and I always carried jumpers for our apex only jumped once sled to sled when his stator went out. We got his going jumped from mine but stator was catastrophic failure but got him home. That gave me religion purchased a power pak always carry now just incase. I would say at minimum carry...

Thanks for all you do Jim. Better to do a good job now clearing debris than leave nasty surprises under the snow or side of trail that will cause problems later. Rather be safe than sorry 👍👍👍
