AWSC increased the DNR enforcement fund to $600K this year. Good to see! Last weekend, about 2 miles north of Bottoms Up Bar, I came out of the woods and there were 2 DNR agents with a couple pulled over. Not the best location to sit. They must have seen the guy and chased him down. My best...

My boy(6.5) outgrew his 120. I sold it earlier this year. My FIL had a '91 Arctic Cat 440 Jag. I ended up buying that. I thought it might be a little too big, but he's done really well! We did put a custom throttle stop on it. It does have e-start and handwarmers, so he loves those upgrades...

I was the first one parked on the road at 9:30am. Smooth trails heading out at that time. We got back around 4:30 from Lake Alice direction, & was amazed how far down that line was. A guy I talked to in the morning came up from Janesville for the day.

We came up yesterday. Most trails were smooth & flat! Had to watch the ice on some stretches like you mentioned. Especially on 17N, east of 51, south of 8. Every corner was iced up. Snow really improved north of 8 though! We stopped in at Holly's for the radar runs. Fun times & was able to...

Looking good! We'll be up riding Saturday. Signed.... The weekend warrior club;)

I must have just missed you guys! We ate lunch at Howling Dog around noon, and then stopped at Gooch's around 2. Wife and I were stopping to warm up and playing cribbage at every bar. The trails from Goochs to PI were flat and fast! One of the better sections of trail of my trip. We did have a...

That's awesome! My wife was chatting with one of the crew's wife for awhile. She was a RN for work, and they had a cabin down in St. Germain. Thanks for the TVs! Huge shutout to Matt, the owner! My diesel gelled up Tuesday morning, and let us hang all day in the room until I got it fixed. He...

Wow, I couldn't believe the Bears fans out in full force at Beaver Lodge on Saturday night. Probably 95% Bears fans. Like you said, where did they all come from? Popping out of the woodwork! Most were pretty good, and we were having some fun with them. I did get them to admit that was the...

Traffic was pretty light yesterday. We rode down to MW, up to PI & some other loops. PI trails were 10/10! First time stopping at Howling Dog. Nice place! Wife kept warm👍 Great couple days of riding. Currently -17F, so I couldn't talk my wife into 1 more quick ride this morning..Looks even...

We didn't get into Mercer untill 1:30 yesterday. Rode from Mercer to Gooch's, down to Sayner to meet some friends. Trails around BJ were pretty beat up, but the norm for Saturday evening. Trails were better heading down to Arbor, then made a bunch of loops around St. Germain. We didn't get back...

My wife and I are coming up tomorrow, staying until Tues. I tried not bringing up the temps for Monday, but she found out... I told her if we survived last year's MLK day in Houghton riding, Vilas trails will be warmer then the rails....:) Those negative temps are typical for that day! Gauntlets...

I've been running the OTTP ski mounted scratchers since 2019. This was on my '17 XCR and didn't want to drill into my rail. They work pretty well. I also put them on my '18 XCR and my '24 XC. A couple very small negatives. All these are uncoupled skids, so if you're jumping or picking the...

Trails have been excellent! I was on some of the same trails today👍 2 East from MW to BJ was a 10 before noon. Lunch at Boulder beer bar. Lot of traffic out, but everything held up really good. Surreal scenery with the sun hitting the snow covered trees. More fun tomorrow👍

Don't hate the player, hate the game:ROFLMAO: That's some commitment. Do you have winter games also? A co-worker's grandchild plays baseball for Middleton. It's the same deal. He's in a different city every weekend cheering him on. I have no idea how the kid can focus on anything else.

This!!! This is one of the top reasons. Our sports culture is toxic in the US. Everything from the professionals, college, and kids sports. I had this conversation with my Pastor. Another reason of low church attendance and volunteering there also we feel. Exactly! I played sports and I want my...
