    TRAIL 13 BERGLAND to ROCKLAND

    Rode the entire stretch last week. I know it was showing closed early in the week but can't confirm if the status changed on the app.

    Floor protection and pattern for inline trailer

    Been doing this method with some modifications. I cover the floor with BCX and use guides along the edges of the door ramps. I planned to use old tracks for traction up the middle of the doors. All I had laying around were too tall. I have used old hyfax that I cut down into about two foot...

    Overnight trip from Phelps/Conover, where to?

    Sounds like a fun trip. We ride most of the area from Watersmeet north on a regular basis. @mjw66 , We love the Copper Harbor ride, but I wouldn't recommend this one over a weekend and a "schedule". I think your group would miss some of the fun just trying to make the trip. I will also reiterate...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    The section west of the lake going north looks like part of the old trail. I'm not familiar with Ride Command. I'm curious which establishment has a trail going right to their door? It would be a real slap if that is one of the Snowriver locations.

    Building / Shop advice

    That is an interesting situation with the boat. Wood does change dimension when it changes humidity. It makes a bit of sense to keep the wood in a higher humidity environment. I have to admit that 60% is surprisingly high. You are getting into cigar storage range. Do the seams split...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    Nice work. I would like to thank the community and GRTA for all the work on this project. I am impressed by the team effort to overcome the issues created by the actions of a single outside land owner. I think we ran into some of the "new" trail last season. The section between Sunday Lake...

    What's New with You?

    Congrats @SHOOT2KILL , on the retirement. I did that a few years ago, but I wasn't very good at that job. I'm probably doing more now with "other" stuff. I guess the biggest difference is the ability to schedule down time. I just need to figure out how to quit filling the down time with...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    Dang tough timing. Running the shoulder of 2 certainly isn't an option although it would show big increases in a certain revenue stream. The new owner really played this one on the community. The changing stance and then ever increasing demands just kicked the can around until it was too late...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    Nightmare deal. That will put the last nail in quite a few businesses. Losing the old trail already hurt rider volume. The loss was significant. We used to play in sled traffic and worry about finding rooms. Anyone that has been a "before and after" rider knows how much volume has changed...

    not good news for Polaris sled owners

    Lawyers wouldn't want to play for sure. The good news if I'm reading it right, the issue seems to be long term storage and initial starts. I wouldn't be too concerned about actually riding. Overall, it's a bummer deal. That is a pretty good sized quantity of machines. It will take some...

    Electric vehicle

    There was a lot of resistance to replacing the horse and buggy. The early versions were less than stellar. People eventually got used to the idea and innovation helped. Then the blue oval guy came along and made them cheap. I completely agree on the point that @indy_500 made about apartment...

    Electric vehicle

    Getting past the gas and go lifestyle takes more planning. It takes a change in thinking to adopt electric vehicles. If you want convenient, you want a good charger at home. It takes quite a bit of power. There are plenty of homes and communities that can't serve that need if everyone wants...

    Arctic Cat - New Chassis

    It is new information as of today. Their release is a teaser with "some" information. The chassis will technically be their 2024 model. It is an interesting approach to announce a new model right as the current sleds are starting to show up at dealers. They are also letting consumers play...

    It's a Walmart thing....

    The original thinking behind self checkout was founded on time and money saving. I get the time factor with no waiting for people to move around and fill in for peak. The machines are always ready if you have enough of them. The money factor also makes sense when looking at station cost and...

    Trailers - Good news / Bad News

    It was surprising how fast pricing went up. I ordered one early in the summer of 2020 and it was delivered mid fall. Pricing had changed quite a bit in that short time. I was lucky to have the price locked. I was also lucky to get the trailer. I had nice offers to buy my trailer before it...

    Something to Think About

    We used to joke about how easy it was to reduce inventory. We just put in on a truck. I'd love to spec out vehicles. I'm sure we all love the idea. I wish it was easy. The process has further timeline extension because of the "truck" inventory. I emphasize that term because it covers the...

    How was your riding season ?

    Had a dang good season. The weather pattern worked well with those consistent refreshing snows to help the grooming. Thinking back, I believe it is the first season in about five years without a rain/mist ride. Trails near the lake were the best I've seen in a long time too. The little...

    The Price of Growing Crops

    I spend a little time in the fields. It's interesting what media reports vs. what is happening. Those little snippets of information are a portion. Current commodity price is actually dang good if you still have stuff to sell. Carryover inventory is still up in the air, but one of the major...

    Hope I never pass this crew

    I agree that works with small groups. I often ride with one other guy and we ride slightly staggered for visibility. Hard to describe, but diagonally off the bumper. It gets harder to do with more riders in the mix. We do have a general rule in the group. If you can't see, drop back, we'll...
