Supposed to be a nice day on Sunday. Getting out of the house and heading to Madison with my family to celebrate my wife's 50th Birthday. Just a day of casual time downtown, going by the Capital, walking down State Street, plan to eat at Dottys and who knows where else we'll end up. Not doing...

Anyone have a place I could store a sled for about 9 months? I'll have a cover on it and won't need to get back to it until mid-January.

Looking to finish off the trailer this spring. 7X22 drive in/out with side door up front, roof vent and inside led lighting from the factory. Been thinking about the typical white ceiling and walls FRP with foam board insulation, but thinking I'd use it in the summer to camp with also. Been a...

Interesting to see the total number of users online as the site has been back up. It's jumped over 100 in about 10 minutes. Wonder if we'll get close to the all time high as people need to get their JD fix for the day.

Great time for 13 of us, even with a break down 75 miles from the cabin, and a rental into a tree :) Here's just a few shots but here is the link to the video of all the stills. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STt_L6Ss51c Thanks to our wives or girlfriends for not complaining too much when...

Similar to what we did but we started farther north in Toivola. Just remember 122 from Lake Linden to Gay is closed this year so you'll do some back tracking. Be sure to eat at Zik's in CH. This has become one of my new favorite spots this year. Easy to pull into a big place but don't miss...

Well had another great weekend in the Keweenaw. Started out at M&M on Friday and as usual Chad took care of me. Then met up with 12 other guys at D’s Base camp, and on Saturday rode the trails, got some stucks just off the trails, took a demo ride on some sleds at Pats, lunch at the Pit Stop...

Saw a number of comments in a different thread for boots about Klim socks and most people were saying they were the best socks they've ever had, only need one pair, never get cold etc. So I thought I'd pick up a pair and little did I know the range I'd be confronted with. Looks like they have...

I know this should probably be in the "Conditions and Info" section so if someone feels it's too out of place here you can move it. I just figured it would get more attention here. I've been hearing this section of the trail is closed all season for logging. Couldn't find anything official so...

Coming up Wednesday evening. Two of us will be riding Thursday through Saturday. Staying at the Super 8 and planning to ride down to Greenland and up to Copper Harbor during the trip. Anyone want to join up for trail riding or to do some exploring on some fire roads during the weekend?

Ok, so I'm sitting with my wife last night watching the news and the weather guy is doing the normal stat section of his 4 minute report, I'm not really paying attention then she blurts out "why do I care about the dew point when its 5 below outside!?!?" Then she looks at me with this look on...

Hey kip and friends at Pats, congratulations on the new banner ad on the home page! Looks great, and the redesigned web page a few weeks back is really nice too.

Looking at a mid layer pant and wondered if anyone has compared the Inferno and Everest pants from Klim. Only $10 difference so that's not an issue, it sounds like the Everest is warmer, wonder if its bulkier too. On the other hand wonder if the Inferno will be warm enough for trail riding all...

Hey John was on FB today and saw the promos Pats does telling people to share, vote and such, I know you had a link to the Make-a-wish/ride-in event on your last FB posting and I was thinking about "sharing" a post on my FB wall to try to get some other people involved. Problem is that last...

I've got a room at the Super 8 in Houghton for 3 nights next weekend (in on Fri the 17th, out on Mon the 20th) and it looks like I won't be coming up. I know they are sold out and I'm not sure about the rest of the area, but I figured I'd hold on to the reservation until Monday or Tuesday in...

Wondered when it would happen.

Finally finished the mods to the ZL we have. Cut back the existing seat base, got a Crossfire seat and built up the top of the tunnel to match the seat base, then wrapped it in stainless steel, painted it, got a Crossfire tail light, reshaped the frame and foam on the seat to fit as close as...

Went to the local Cat shop today to pick up something I had ordered and had to stand 3 deep at the counter with 4 people working it. While I was there 1 guy was picking up a sled he bought yesterday, another guy was writing up a new sled, there was a sled on the floor with a sold sign, and 2...

Nice Journal today John. Just put a good wrap on a busy week and it was nice to hear some of the great things going on in someone else's family this Christmas season. Congratulations on moving the office too!

For some reason I can't get photos to load up to the enlarged size. I see then inline in a post but when I click on them it acts like they are loading then they just stop without finishing. I've deleted my history and cookies but that didn't make any difference. Been happening for about 2...
