    Southern wisconsin Camping with boating available too.

    Sorry, I didn't realize you were from Rapids! One lake to try is Lake Puckaway. Just west of Big Green lake. Just not a big recreational lake due to it being a little more shallow(part of Fox River), and getting overlooked by people going to Green Lake. There are numerous taverns to stop, and...

    Southern wisconsin Camping with boating available too.

    One nice spot is Adams County Castle Rock Park. On Castle Rock lake. Suprised shoot2kill didn't mention that one. They have a boat launch right in the campground. Nice beach area also. Castle Rock has good variety. Lot of bars to stop, and can run the WI river on the north end and utilize the...

    How was your riding season ?

    Indeed! The sled does not do well in deeper snow, only hardpack. This helped with him learning. When majority of the deeper stuff melted and most was hardpack, that got a little more nerve racking! It no longer kept him contained! He missed the turn and went flying towards my neighbor's driveway...

    How was your riding season ?

    It was just a tick below average year for me. 1100 miles. I had to travel for all my trips this year. We were consistently 2-4" away from our local trails opening many times. Disappointed all of our marking and brushing was for naught this season, but I look at that as my price to ride other...

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    Thanks. All part of life's up and downs. It was a pretty cruel to go through it though! I did not have them tied down. I know people have different opinions on this, and rules. I still do not tie them down. You could argue I wouldn't have any sled damage or missed riding time if they were tied...

    Not something you see too often. This was taken on Lake Waubesa, just south of Madison.

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    How many guys on here have rolled trailers? I did about 4 years ago. Pretty crazy story too. I purchased my first ever, brand new sled in Feb of '17. That was a shit year, and most trails were done by then. It was 60F in Feb when I bought it. Dec of '17 was also terrible. 2nd weekend of...

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    We had a '02 Chevy Suburban 3/4 ton with the 8100. That could pull anything, but with a cost-gas mileage.. It pulled our heavy steel deck over for many years.

    Holy Vilas Traffic!

    Madison vs Dane county is different! I've lived in downtown Madison and village of Dane. Still work in Middleton, but live in Portage. There are a lot of passionate people here who ride, and take pride in the trails. Dane county actually has a pretty good network of trails. Would we all prefer...

    Tomahawk area

    I rode Tomahawk on Saturday. We left from park and ride on 51/S. Road south, but then turned north/west at highway 64. Went up to Tim's Hill. Very good snow in those areas. Later in the days, noticed just a couple south facing hills low on snow. Since south and west, there might have been lower...

    stay on your side of the trail

    Unbelievable.. Glad they are ok. These are the same people that we share trails and roads with. Just clueless. I lead 95% of the time. I stand for the majority of my riding due to this. I see them first 95% of the time. I ride to expect traffic in every corner. I've been called a ricky racer...

    Snow Storm Feb 21 and 22

    10" is about what I've had for our entire season to date. I would take any of Mezz's leftovers he could send our way! The big snowstorms that all went south, have been predicted 4 days in advanced. None of those snow storms hardly moved in predictions. Spot on 4 days in advanced. Never works...

    Iron County Trails

    The newer Iron county maps actually show some of the road routes. https://whitethunderriders.files.wordpress.com/2021/12/2022_iron_cnty_snow_trial_map.pdf I would avoid: 9 south of Upson 9 and 9A South of Bear Chasers and routes around Island Lake 13 south of Montreal It's not marked, but...

    Tomahawk Wi. Area : Best trails and Pitstops : Couples trip 2/11-2/13

    I trailered up to the Park and Ride off 51/S Saturday. We left about 9am. We headed east on 16. Very scenic trails by Harrison! Lots of twisties there. I do not believe we met our fist sled till 50 miles in, right outside Summit Lake. There were about 5 sleds parked at Nutzees when we went past...

    stuff for sale - is everything on facebook now?

    The Social Dilemma is the Netflix program. If You Are Not Paying, You Are The Product! It was pretty well presented! Pretty scary. I'm 36 and have seen FB from the start with my age group. I have refused to sign up. One main issue I saw from the start, was the amount of time people would spend...

    The next Generation

    Awesome, thanks for sharing! I just bought a Polaris Dragon 120 for my boy. He'll be 3 in end of April. He just did his first longer trip with us. 110 mile trip. He did great. He didn't even fall asleep! Last year he did 2 separate, smaller trips and loved it! He learned how to ride his own...
