Sorry for the delay. Now all I have to do is remember to do them! -John

Looks like they lost the portico for the front door. Tons of snow was on it. Hope no one got hurt. -John

An air traffic controller at Reno fell asleep on the job. Meanwhile an air ambulance had to circle the airport with a sick passenger while trying to wake up the controller. Pretty scary stuff. Evidently the current administration is reacting quickly to this and has put this man on the job to...

So I was thumbing through one of the snowmobile rags recently and saw a picture of someone racing and they were standing as far back on the running boards as possible and the front end of the sled was up off the ground. I have seen LOTS of racers ride that way in a drag race and my question is...

While trying to clean up some image posting attempts, I mistakenly deleted the entire thread. Here is a repost: snoluver1 writes :

Ok folks. Here we go. This is the way it works, guess the correct date (time of day does not count) that the Laurium Glacier will melt this spring. The first post with the correct date will win a free ThinkSnow shirt Persons guessing the correct date, but after someone else has already guessed...

How to Prepare for Snowmobiling 1. Go to your local snowmobile dealer, smile and give the first guy you see $200. This will get you used to spending money there on a regular basis. 2. Fill a 45-gallon barrel with sand. Lower it into a hole. Now lift it out. If you can, add water to the sand...

Well, I was actually planning on taking a spin on the sled to take come trail pics, but got busy with other things and had to settle for the "road crossing report", but I did bring a camera and took some pics. All pics were taken between 2 and 3 pm today, truck thermometer read 58 degrees, which...

So, among our prizes for this years silent auction for the Ride In, we have a football autographed by the entire 2010-11 Green Bay Packers Team. In the event that they win the Superbowl this Sunday, how much would that bugger be worth? -John

I just got back from the Bear Belly Bar and Grill at Lac La Belle and we raised $1000.00 today for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. My huge thanks to Troy, Cathy and Alex Wescott as well as Dave, Bud, Becka and the chef for all of their hard work today. Tom Katlalin for his musical entertainment and...

Lately there have been a few posts started that spoke of some bad experiences folks have had on trips. I would just like to remind everyone that the "NO BASHING" rule does not just apply to other posters of this site, it applies to everyone. Persons that are not members of this board...

I stepped foot in the Keweenaw for the first time in my life. My life has never been the same since. :D -John

Just a reminder that I will be up at the Bear Belly Bar tipping the bottles this Saturday the 22nd from around 11:30am to 6pm. I do more schmoozing that pouring, but the bartenders are gracious enough to donate all their tips while I am there to the Ride-In's fund raising efforts. Plus Troy...

I just finished updating the snowcover maps for today (sorry, a bit late today) and much of the Northwoods appears to be filling up with snow. Some good amounts in portions of northern lower MI yesterday and the cover across northern WI has been growing the past 5-6 days and MN and the UP just...

To Huck and Millie! Can't believe I forgot to mention it in the journal yesterday. They are 2 years and one day old! -John

Well, after tossing and turning in bed last night, it came to me the missing pics from Saturday's ride with Dave might be in the camera's internal memory and not on the memory card. Turns out, that's where they were. So for those that already read the journal, here they are: Dave wading through...

Was asked to post this. -John Your snowmobile riding opportunities in the Huron Manistee National Forest are in danger of being taken away! This is not a threat. It is a distinct possibility, following a lawsuit alleging that hunters and snowmobiler's receive preferential treatment...

Jordan from ArcticFX Graphics is offering a special. Purchase a graphics kit worth $245 or more during the month of January and receive $50 off your order. He will then donate $50 of that order to the Ride In. He has some great graphics kits. He did my Yamaha XTX 2 years ago and does the work...

Well, it is looking like the thaw is over for most areas in WI to the NW of a line from around LaCrosse to Rhinelander to Eagle River and then the UP from Watersmeet to Baraga. Temps have fallen into the 20's and look to stay there for the rest of the day. Some frozen precip, freezing drizzle...
