    Trailer padlocks

    You have that single grab handle in the center that pulls up and then unlocks the bar on the inside correct? The downfall is the suitcase size lock that locks the handle down. Two of my friend had their sleds taken from their NEO trailer. One sled was found other never was. I like Snoden's...

    I know that no one many really care about Indiana but, I thought the info would be nice to give a good picture of the entire area. I'll use Gary, IN because I'm sure everyone know where Gary is at... 1"-2" wind blown. However, farther East they received more in fact all the Indiana trails...

    Trailer padlocks

    Running short on time I did not read all the replies... (Sorry I will later I'm sure...) dfattack and others I had that same lock for years as well. I had them replaced by Masterlock more than once. Finally, they asked me what I was lubricating it with. WD-40 other oils that type of thing... I...

    Illinois Tolls Increase Again

    The Skyway Bridge, Cline Ave Bridge, and our Toll Road are why 80/94 is packed all the time. Everyone avoiding the charge if they can... I will take the Toll Road for about 5 miles if traffic is bad on 80/94 (which is all construction season, April through Nov it seemed like this year...) I...

    Site Issues

    Same for me today and yesterday. The first thing I thought was boy, is that not some luck... Finally some snow and now the site is down... Nora's going to have issues to deal with right off the bat at the peak traffic times (I'm sure the amount of user traffic picks up when snow is actually on...

    Illinois Tolls Increase Again

    The news report said that you wouldn't have to get a new sticker until your old transponder expired. I looked at mine today and apparently it expired in 2022... It's been working just fine... LOL As a side note be careful in New York. I was out in Buffalo and Niagara Falls a number of years ago...

    Illinois Tolls Increase Again

    Great! Wasn't the plan to only keep the tolls till the road was paid for? Yeah right... The only thing that you can trust that Communist State of IL to do is find more ways to rip everyone off! The roads still suck and you still have tons of slow or barely moving traffic. My last trip at the...

    Storm Central for Tuesday

    Gary would this a thread a per day thing? Might want a new category, it could get busy... Or under the area and conditions category. Maybe a couple sticky post at the top for State DOT sites or other useful sites of that nature. I know MI and WI both have descent camera networks. (I away have to...

    Michigan park and ride question

    Are you talking the "Carpool Lots"? If so I look in to this few years ago and found out it was not allowed. With that said It may depend on the area of what is enforced... Also, it looks like you and others have had success. Of course if it's one person here and there, probably not a big deal...

    Ice conditions

    I've always wondered how often do they check thickness during the season? If is cold with no major warm up, it's not necessary. but the way some of the last few years have been you do wonder at times? Do the clubs have a minimum thickness before they mark a lake? I know what standard thickness...

    inline trailer springs?

    Might want to call NEO for a price. When I bought my R&R trailer (used) I did a bunch of changes. A lot of the standard parts they stock for their trailers were cheaper than many online places. Even cheaper than the RV surplus stores just down the road from both of them. For instance I had a 20'...

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    I was defiantly one of these people that really enjoyed checking daily. The bad part about the weekend was that there was no weekend forecast. I completely understand why. So I was already missing the forecast for just the weekend... It's really felt now. Heck I liked when John even gave the...
