    Duluth SnoCross pics

    Took my son to the snocross yesterday. We had a good time but it is a spendy event. $45 for the two of us to get in plus $10 for parking. Ouch!!! At least the beer and food was reasonable! Spent a lot of time watching them groom the track though. Kind of boring. They did have a flyover with 2...

    Track Change

    Just got done putting a new track on my wifes 500SS GTX. The track on it had 4800 miles on it and was pretty much worn smooth so I put a 1.25" on it now. Those Ski Doo track changes are a little more complicated than changing tracks on my Switchback. But it's done nowso my wife has no excuse for...

    Trail cam pics

    Got up to the cabin over the weekend and went out and grabbed my trail cameras. While I bow hunt up there sometimes I don't do any rifle hunting up there (maybe i should as our neighbors daughter shot a large 11 point about 200 yds behind our cabin.) So the camera pictures had 1 nice buck but...

    Flys, flys, and more flys.

    We have a fly problem in our cabin. Everytime we go up there ther are dozens of dead flys on the ground near the windows and dozens more buzzing around in the windows. How do we get rid of them? It's not an old drafty cabin or anything like that. Any ideas?

    Copper Falls state park

    Spent last weekend camping at Copper Falls State Park near Mellen, WI. Had a great time, weather was good, hiking was good. It's a very anti-dog park though. Dogs basically were not allowed anywhere other than campsites. Couldn't be in the picnic area, couldn't take them on the hiking trails...

    MN North Shore 4/4/09

    Got up for one more day of riding this weekend. We unloaded near Isabella and rode east and north from there. As you drive up there you would swear it's mid Jan, not early April. Huge snowbanks from last weeks snowfall. The spots we rode were mostly excellent. If you get straight north and even...
