    Something You Don't See Everyday

    My daughter's boyfriend is in Mexico on a hunting trip and shot a mountain lion 2 days ago. I don't know what town/area he is in but has a local guide that speaks no English. The guide scoped it and all he could say was Puma, Puma, and some utterance of shoot it. He was told that the mountain...

    MI DNR Offer

    I can see both sides of this being that the back of my Wisconsin property touches the Ottawa in Gogebic/Michigan. Normally our riding is primarily done in Wisconsin but this year my wife wanted to ride Michigan trails again. It has been several years since I bought Michigan trail passes but I...

    Cell service Northern WI and UP

    Thanks old abe. I will see him tomorrow and relay the advice. Verizon is actually the ones that approached him after some sort of study to figure out best placement for coverage. Right now, they are haggling over monthly compensation. I was amazed at what they are willing to pay. I don't...

    Cell service Northern WI and UP

    I have Verizon and split my time between Chicago and Presque Isle. In Chicago there is no problem but this trip to PI the service has been horrible. If my calls are not broken up, they drop and this has been an everyday thing. Good news for us up here is that Verizon is negotiating with a friend...

    NW Vilas 1/16

    31 degrees and rain in Presque Isle at 9am. Snow starting to slide off of the metal roof with additional rain weight. Short ride yesterday on Presque Isle/Winchester trails. Surprised to see how nice the trails were after the heavy weekend traffic.

    Vilas and Iron Update 1/7/23

    I have to give credit where credit is due since I ripped on MW trail 6 about a week ago and someone's panties got bunched up. Rode Presque Isle, Manitowish Waters, Mercer trails the past two days. Absolutely incredible on Thursday. Left PI on trail 6W. Jumped on 14 and took that to 19 in Iron...

    Snowmobile Jackets

    Thanks for the advice and opinions. Can't stop laughing about the exchange between Gary and Garageguy. The wife thinks I'm nuts sitting here laughing at the screen. You guys made my day.

    Snowmobile Jackets

    I am looking for some input on snowmobile jackets. The one I have now was a gift several years ago and I don't like it. It is a Skidoo brand. Too big and bulky and I feel like the Michelin tire man. Just curious what anybody out there is wearing and pros/cons of what you like. Thanks in advance...

    Polaris Mutt Mod

    That is going to be a work of art when you are done and something I would be really proud of. Can't wait to see the continued progress and completed project.

    BRP Exome Radiant Helmet

    So its been a week of riding with the new Exome helmet I bought for myself. I also bought one for my daughter-in-law. With mine, I get a fog spot every ride in the middle of the shield about eye level. Cracking shield open clears it but still annoying and open shield defeats purpose. As far as...

    Manitowish Area Update 12/30/22

    We have been out every day since Tuesday and for early season riding trails are great. 2 rides north from Presque Isle up trail 1 to trail 2 in Marenisco. Not a lot of traffic. Yesterday took trail 6W out of PI and hit the reroute for Manitowish Waters. Trail 14 northwest towards Mercer was...

    Manitowish Club Groomer is down

    6W out of Presque Isle into Manitowish Waters behind 30 Point along County W was the worst stretch of trail I have ever been on in nearly 50 years of riding. Tried to reach Pea Patch or Shillelagh yesterday but my tailbone and back would not have it. I hope you guys get that groomer up soon.

    Mercer Trails to Open on Friday?

    I think they were uncomfortable when I told them it was our club party and we were not able to ride yet because the trails were closed. I do believe that they really did not know they were in Wisconsin.

    BRP Exome Radiant Helmet

    Bought the Exome a couple of weeks ago but have not used it yet because our trails are still closed. I'm wondering how long before the deflector thing breaks when it falls off of my sled while sitting on the side of the trail or when we stop somewhere. I may just remove it before first ride to...

    Mercer Trails to Open on Friday?

    Riders out again last night in Presque Isle. We attended the Sno-Bunnies Christmas party at the Outpost and a couple came in on sleds. They were not members of our club and were not sure which state they were in.?? I told them they were a couple of hundred yards into Wisconsin and they said they...

    Mercer Trails to Open on Friday?

    I was in the Retreat Bar in Presque Isle last night and 3 riders came in. Everyone looked a little shocked that they were out. I asked where they had come from because our trails are still closed. They said they rode down from Hurley. Trails were great. I asked about closed gates and then they...
