Jan 2 is the big day so lets hope we get a ton of snow this winter. Looking forward to some of that mid week riding people brag...

    Memorial Day weekend photos

    So we had a beautiful weekend on the North Shore. 60 degrees and blue skies every day. The fires up here got under control so no more worries about that and my wife and I got out for a couple of hikes. On Sunday we went to Crosby Manitou State Park and hiked back into the falls. About 3 miles...

    2025 NFL Draft

    We made the journey to GB for the draft. Busy but lots of fun. Not sure if I'd do it again but glad we did it this time. The crowd appreciated Clay Matthews opening statements "the Bears still suck" and Mark Murphy did a good job getting the crowd excited for the Packers first pick. I even had a...

    One more ride

    Got out for another ride on the north shore after last weeks snowstorm. And it may be sacrilege on this site but I really hope it’s the last one. Rode 90+ miles, mostly forest roads but some trails. Snow was good near Finland and along an area about 15 miles inland from Lake Superior. We got a...

    ordered my new ride

    Not a sled but really looking forward to it. Told myself I'd get another new bike at 55 and then a e bike at 60. Well, I never got the one at 55 so I compromised and got this one at 57 1/2.

    WY trip report

    Just returned from Crooked Creek guest ranch near Dubois WY. Snow was excellent, bottomless in areas, and we had a great time. Our guide and others said it was a little weird as the last storms it blew so hard that the upper elevations had the snow blown off and it was down in the valleys and...

    Finally, a garage

    Well, since we moved fulltime to the cabin one of my plans was to build a garage. Started clearing the spot in July but due to permit issues couldn't actually get the guy in to do the site prep until early Sept and then had concrete poured mid Sept and had the material delivered late Sept. Six...

    Homeless finally!

    Spent the weekend cleaning and moving the last items out and then closed with the buyers today. I said we may have gotten a big check but now we are homeless. Thankfully we aren't cabin-less. Trying to empty out a 3000 sq ft house that we'd lived in for 17 yrs and move full time into a 1200 sq...

    11 yrs ago today with XCR440

    Kevin, remember this ride? I burned so much gas this day, breaking trail for 90 miles in about 2' of fresh. Up by our cabin we got close to 70" of snow in April that year, 2013.

    Avid Extrovert Drivers

We have a group of 3-4 campers that have camped together for...

Started in Bozeman, drove to Couer D' Alene for a night, then to Sandpoint ID for a night and then back to Whitefish, MT and GNP for the next...

    Waterfall tour

    We've been up to the cabin the last two weekends and have taken advantage of the melting snow to visit some waterfalls. We've hit Gooseberry, Baptism River, Cross River, Temperance River, and the Cascade river. The water has been running good and will just get better as it warms up this week.

    One more ride

    Had to run up to the cabin to do a little work on Saturday and decided I'd better bring the sled with me. It was looking a little bleak as I head up Hwy 61 up the shore but I knew there's be snow up top. Got about 50 miles in, mostly forest roads but also some of the NSST. Latest I've rode so...
