    What is your favorite UP ghost story or "haunted" location?

    Hey matti, I just found a new ghost story/haunted location/eerie circumstance. It stretches from Park Ridge Illinois all the way up to Presque Isle Wisconsin. I looked at my investments, i.e. stocks, IRA's, deferred compensation plan, and other banking and interest statements. Seems a lot has...

    What is your favorite UP ghost story or "haunted" location?

    You were in the house before it burned? Like matti, I dont want to even go near it. I am not a believer in ghosts or spooks but there are a lot of things that cannot be explained by science or logic and I see no reason to tempt fate. My son and a friend of mine went there years ago to explore...

    What is your favorite UP ghost story or "haunted" location?

    Summerwind on the Cisco chain. A lot of unexplained stuff happened at that house that mysteriously burned down. None of the older locals want to talk about it and deny any knowledge of where it was. Ruins still remain but nature has pretty much taken it back.

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    Keep in mind that this statement was put out by Snowriver. We might hear a different perspective when we hear from the Gogebic Range Trail Authority. Just saying...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    I will amend my negative internet, bar, restaurant noise about them. Its already happening and we don't have to do it because they did it to themselves.

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    Call it what you will. I agree that the landowner rights are sacred but like Hoosier said, to pull this in mid-September is not what every other area business supported by snowmobile dollars would consider to be a good neighbor. My daughter lives in Bessemer and when I talked to her yesterday...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    So if I understand this correctly, a small portion of easement that runs through Big Snow property is going to affect E/W snowmobile traffic on trail 2 from Marenisco, to Wakefield, Bessemer, and Ironwood. If that's the case, there will be a huge impact on all of those small-town local...

    SnowTech Editorial Scary Snowmobiling Future

    Moose and blkhwkbob. I just want to provide a little clarification. I was a cop. Went on at 21 and retired at 51. Pension was maxxed at 75 percent of my salary after 30 years so in my opinion, it did not make fiscal sense to stay any longer. It really was not an early retirement. Also, in law...

    9/11/01 Where were you?

    Gender issues, inclusion, pronouns, critical race theory, and a lot of other crap that teaches you nothing more than to be dependent on the government and think how they want you to. Glad my kids are grown and I don't have to fight some liberal school curriculum.

    9/11/01 Where were you?

    I had just gone to bed after working midnight shift. The wife got the kids up and off to school. I heard phone start ringing around 9am. Machine picked it up. Ringing again and again and again. Machine kept getting it. Now I was up and figured somebody really needed to wake me. Answered it on...

    Rising fuel costs hinder planned trips?

    To answer euphoric1 question, no. I will not let the cost of gas prevent travel and riding enjoyment that I worked 30 years to get to but I will find other ways to offset it a little. This summer friends of mine opened a breakfast food truck in Presque Isle called Tip Ups Takeaways. They have...

    Epi Pens

    Sorry to hear about your bite pclark. I have noticed that the bees up there have been brutal this summer. I was stung twice in Presque Isle two weeks ago. Once in head on shore and once in thigh out on lake. I am somewhat allergic to them as I swelled and itched but nowhere near what you...

    Gas

    The old fool that sits in the white house just doesn't get it. He is hurting America, republicans and democrats alike. I hope that anyone who voted for him or those that helped him cheat his way into the presidency are just as sick as the rest of us. It has to hurt the democrats wallets just as...

    Walleyes for Tomorrow

    I'm not a biologist or a math major but that ratio sounds pretty sad. Is that a normal mortality rate for the number of fish stocked or just an educated guess?

    Knee Replacement Surgery - Anyone?

    Glad to hear that it went well mezz. If you keep it iced you will find P/T a lot more tolerable. When I went through it I got an ice machine wrap and I looked forward to using it several times a day. It helped and I recommend renting one. I think it was a couple of hundred for about 4 weeks...

    Knee Replacement Surgery - Anyone?

    Hey mezz, the sleep comment was just in general. Its not a comfort thing because the knee is pretty much pain free. During follow up appointments, the surgeon asked about any problems or concerns. I said sleep was a problem and he said that it was his experience with 30 years of doing knee...

    Knee Replacement Surgery - Anyone?

    I had right knee (total) replaced in July 2020 after numerous minor scope surgeries to fix torn meniscus. Illinois Bone and Joint did the surgery. I walked/hobbled out of the outpatient surgery a few hours later. Rehab started the next day. Within 4 weeks I was back to a somewhat normal life. No...

    How I Spent My Tuesday

    Hey Gary in Neenah, thanks for the positive post and comments about law enforcement in todays society. I will rarely talk about what I did for a living to people that I meet which is kind of sad because once upon a time in 1985, I was a proud young police officer. I went on the job at 21 years...

    Vilas or Bayfield?

    Snow just starting to fly in Presque Isle at 11:00. Barely above zero. Hit the trails yesterday before all of the weekend warriors get up here and grab a handful of throttle. Presque Isle trails excellent except for a short stretch of 6W where they are logging near Carlin Club. Not pretty seeing...

    Michigan trail pass question

    I spoke with an Upper Peninsula Conservation Officer yesterday regarding the trail permit issue. She stated that the wardens have scanners to check the permits and the only information available to her would be who bought the permit, not the sled that it is attached to. She further stated that...
