There is no "official" opening or anyone who takes responsibility far the ice crossing to the island. I have been trying for years to get solid information about the status of the ice bridge and whether the Christmas Trees were up. The local club website is years out of date and their facebook...

Does anyone know if the Christmas trees are up on the ice bridge to Mackinac Island? I say the USCG report from two weeks ago that the waters between St. Ignace and the island were frozen over and were now closed for the winter. Without a ton of snow and the very frigid temps, I'd expect that...

I've just been checking the snowmobile laws published on the DNR websites for both Wisconsin and Michigan and I see no requirement to have insurance. Furthermore, neither state classifies snowmobiles as a "motor vehicle" requiring insurance (and evidence of insurance) as is required for cars...

Does anyone know how to access this hotel from the trail on the way in to Houghton from the south (Trail 3)? Is there an access trail up to the hotel?

Does anyone know if the barrels that mark the trail are out on Lake Minocqua?

Does anybody know if Trail 11S running from Winchester, WI going North into the UP and meeting up with Trail 2 West of Marinesco will be open this year? Its been closed for the last two seasons for logging.

My wife and I took the "ice bridge" to Mackinac Island last Saturday and spent the nght on the island at the Pontiac Lodge, returning to St. Ignace on Sunday morning. We rode the trails North of St. Ignace on Saturday morning and had a blast. It was cold and the trails were in mint condition...

More snow on our last day, which turned into enough of a storm that the road back to Jackson was closed. We grabbed the last two cabins at TML and had a blast with a lot of "stranded" sledders. We started a Texas Hold 'em tourney that lasted 6 hours. I barely made it back to town the next day...

Approaching sunset just above Togwotee:

More shots from later in the day.

The next day we reaped the rewards with clear skies and virtually endless untracked powder!

Just got back from Jackson Hole. We had a blast as usual. On our first day, we rode in one of the worst blizzards of the year to get back from one of our favorite play areas.

I have a great pair of Sorels (Glacier Boots). That is, they're great for trail riding in the midwest. However, the first time I rode them in deep powder out west, melting powder wicked through the uppers (the upper area between the rubber front and where my snow pants cover the boots). I...

We had another great trip out West. We took day trips out of Jackson each day and saw some amazing country. The one day we rode up to Togwotee from the Gros Ventre range got a little crowded and "tracked up" around and above TML, but we still had a nice ride there. Otherwise, we rode deep...

So... Our planned trip to Northern Ontario - scheduled for March 6 to 13, got cancelled at the last minute due to lack of snow and warm weather. Actually, the tour company/guide called us four days before we were scheduled to leave and offered to give us our money back. First time he's done...

Has anyone heard of this problem? If the engine has been running for a minute or two, if I shut it down it won't restart for about five to ten minutes. If the engine has been running for a while, it won't restart for about fifteen minutes. In the meantime, there's no spark. When it does...

Here are some shots from our recent tour of the "falls" - Bond Falls and Agate Falls in the Western UP. Temps were about 20 Deg F, even though it looked warmer. Bond Falls - standing on the ice shelf below the falls with water flowing (raging) under us: Bond Falls - tons of water...

Just a few shots from Lake of the Clouds last weekend. It was a little crowded, but the view was spectacular! The shots were taken with my iPhone - not bad for a little phone cam!
