    John Dee

    Really hurts to hear this news. Snowmobiling will be different going forward. It’s hard to explain but, John‘s iconic forecast maps were a huge piece of our family’s winter fun—a part of our vocabulary. It’s always exciting to head “up north” to snowmobile. But if there was a John Dee graphic...

    Chippewa Flowage area, Sawyer, Washburn counties

    Thanks for your hard work! I agree…in 40 years coming up here, I can’t recall it being this bad. However, progress is being made. My daughter and I went out and “bonded” by clearing some areas. Here’s the area from the first photo now:

    Chippewa Flowage area, Sawyer, Washburn counties

    If you’re heading to this area, bring a chainsaw and a strong back. The trials are mostly blocked by downed trees. As far as getting groomers out…in some sections it’d be almost like trying to drive a snow plow through a forest. Here’s the Tuscobia yesterday near Yarnell: It’s like this all...

    Hayward Lakes Area-Sawyer County Trail Conditions

    Thank you for the latest info and thanks to all the volunteers! We had a nice ride today are very grateful for your efforts. I’d like to comment on the last paragraph of the update (about the “Tuscobia Winter Ultra.”) To be blunt, I’d like to see this kind of use stop or be restricted to much...

    GPS mount & elec advice

    I have a Lowrance XOG...got the maps from GPSsledmaps, but I need some advice: 1) what mounting bracket have you used for this unit? 2) I'm running an old Yamaha Exciter (no battery) and I saw a thread last year showing how to hook up a cig adapter to the to the electrical system so that you...
