    Another trail closure

    What's hard to believe is the manufacturer of these cans are still making them so loud. Wide open Wisconsin gave away a silencer as one of there giveaways. It was a jaws can and they responded by saying do you want a trail race or rowdy can. Unbelievable that these things are still being made...

    Another trail closure

    Wow this is the main trail that everyone takes from Eagle River to Three lakes. This is a huge loss for the area and prevents a lot of nice loops you could take. I think I know of the horses that you are talking about. We always stop to admire the horses they are really nice horses. We saw...

    Where were you 21 years ago Today?

    I remember getting up getting ready to head to work at the small engine shop I was working at. I turned on the television to check out the news and the towers were on the news with smoke pouring out of them. I thought this must be some kind of movie so I changed the channel and had the same...

    Hay Days this year

    I use to really like the Milwaukee snow show but the last few years not enough vendors to justify the gate cost. The show I really miss is the Illinois snow show. They had a good swap and grass drags. I use to go to Hay Days every year just to browse the swap. Now it's a lot of walking between...

    Hay Days this year

    Hay days is an awesome event but not what it use to be to get parts and sleds. Seems like you need to get a spot in the swap now and most good stuff is sold Friday between swappers. Also seems like a lot of swappers are getting spaces with nothing to sell they are there just to party. I would...

    Almanac winter prediction out

    The farmers almanac looks good but,based on its looking like it could be a strong elnino this winter it will be hard for it to pan out like the farmers almanac is saying. Hopefully it will set up a little more south so some cold air can drop down. Like every year will take it one day at a time...

    the Story of Adam and Chris

    This is so true. I did a 5 year apprenticeship for being a sparky and sure was nice having no college debt. Is it hard work yeah but I make a good fair living, and going to have a nice pension when I retire. The biggest problem is the next generation doesn't want to work in the trades.

    The Perfect Up North Property

    I think sledtl has hit the nail on the head. We bought up in Saint Germain in 7 years ago looking to spend around $150k or less. We found a manufactured home with 2.5 acres for $130k. We are not on a Lake we are 1 lot of of found Lake. The prices of homes in Vilas has gone crazy. I don't think I...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    This is definitely not good news,but it does sound like Wakefield is willing to work with the club which is opposite of snowy river who was just doing PR damage when they claimed they would try to work with the club. Sounds like the biggest problem is there doesn't sound like there is another...

    Unfortunately I don't think it will be cold long enough to kill many these blood suckers.

    Kenton, Sidnaw, Bruce trail reroute needs your help

    Done the way it's going up there this year there will be no loops you can take anymore. Seems like a lot of trails with wash outs or bridges unsafe. Also makes it hard on the groomers to get around. Never good when it warms up too fast like it did in mid April.

    Sleepy River bridge on trail 13 washed away!

    Forest county in WI and iron county in MI are always nice with less traffic. When you take 2 out of watersmeet and head east you know the minute you pass 3 heading north,trail 2 is in better shape and smooth. 107 is always smoother than 3. I like trail 15 between iron river and trippler.

    One more ride

    I remember some years back they still had good snow in the Kee in early May and I was debating going up there to ride so I could say I rode in May. Trail 3 was still good. Wish I would of done it. I just couldn't justify the 7 hour ride but boy do I regret it now. We went up that year in mid...
