Off the top of my head, I cannot remember the last time the Vilas trails made it until the 31st. Next trip north I will have to look at the cabin journals and see if I noted it in any of the years since 1997 when we bought up there. Great season and thank you to any groomers out there that might...

I am looking for any information or ideas on what everyone out there does for insurance on your sleds. Now that the season is over for me, it aggravates me to pay for liability insurance for 7 snowmobiles that will sit in the garage and not move for 9 months. Is there a carrier out there that...

About 1000 miles for us. Based out of Presque Isle and primarily rode Vilas, Iron, and Gogebic Counties. Rode 22 days/different trips for the season. Most of it on weekdays to avoid the crowds and when the trails were in great condition. Left the Northwoods yesterday for the trip back to the...

I admire their ambition but that does not look like fun to me.

6"+ yesterday in Presque Isle, 3-4" overnight and coming down hard right now even though weather channel and accuweather says nothing is happening here. Lake effect??

2-3 inches in Presque Isle and snowing all day.

We lost one of our Presque Isle/Winchester Sno-Bunnies family on Wednesday night on the border of Presque Isle/Marenisco. A 60-year-old lone female rider was killed when her sled left the trail, hit a snowbank and then several trees. MSP, Gogebic County Sheriff, and MI. DNR investigating. I had...

It has been interesting sparring with you ICT but I think I am done and need to focus on other issues. I have to renew my yearly membership for the Illinois "God-forsaken, corrupt, law enforcement association", retired of course, and I have been asked to write new by-laws for the "super-special...

I'm seeing an underlying agenda with your posts ICT. Tried and didn't make the cut for a position with local, county, or state law enforcement? Maybe the military or feds told you thanks but no thanks? Whatever the case may be, I can hear your position on the "brothers" and "sisters" in blue...

I almost feel a little sorry for you and whatever world you live in. Worst of human history? I have seen the worst of what people can and will do to each other. I also have been a part of the good that people can and will do for each other. Law Enforcement as a necessary evil? Good luck with...

I know people that should have been on that one on the way to school.

Laugh away. As I said, what they did was wrong. I am very aware of what the leading contributors of snowmobile related deaths are. There was no crash, personal injury, or death relating to these two individuals. Your idea of their punishment does not fit the crime. As far as your idea of the...

Not a chance.

Yes, refers to credibility of a witness. In the case with these two officers, one is an investigator and the other is a Lieutenant. I'm not making an excuse for their actions/behavior, because it was wrong, but it is unlikely either is out making DUI/OWI arrests so therefor court credibility...

From what I know, that sounds about right for fair and just discipline.

Must be nice to be as perfect as you. If these two were plumbers or electricians would anybody give a crap? Would it make the news and have every sanctimonious do-gooder condemning them? They were NOT on duty. Cops have personal lives and yes, they make mistakes. I get it that cops are held to a...

Glad you are ok and here to still talk about it. And I agree with you that this a bad year for accidents and fatalities. I am in no way clairvoyant or psychic, but we rode last weekend in NW Vilas and I told my wife and friends riding with us that I was really not going to be surprised when I...

Sad. From what I remember was a very nice trail system.

Thank you to everyone that replied. Placed my order this morning for the new Grand Touring and went with the 900 ACE. As hybrid said, there is no replacement for displacement and even though my "go fast" days are behind me, I felt the 600 ACE would be a little under-powered for that sled with...

Saw riders out in Westfield on my way back to Chicago from the Northwoods on Sunday. Been a long time since I saw people out on those trails. First trail rides for me in that area back in the early/mid 70s.
