That's a good one. It is rather amazing how some people who are so adamant about defending their personal freedoms, how willing these same people are about taking other peoples freedom away. I don't know how snow motorcycles fit in, but one of the largest corporate landowners in Keweenaw County...

Nice pup! Yours? That is a Goldie (Golden Retriever), isn't it? She's actually a yellow lab, and is my neighbor's dog. I take care of her from time to time and occasionally take her on adventures in the woods or in the yard. She is in my house this morning for her breakfast treats and patiently...

A little over 800 miles on the cross-country skis this season since Oct 17, at various locations between Copper Harbor and Twin Lakes. (Its nice to be retired).

There are a number of excellent locally brewed beers that come in cans. In my opinion, Bud Lite would taste like fish piss by comparison to any of these beers no matter what it comes in. On a totally unrelated subject, its good to hear that you are no longer "getting it in the can". And on...

Colors this afternoon at Lac La Belle.

Nice fall day at Lac La Belle.

Another favorite UP waterfall that is easily accessible is Hungarian Falls. This is a series of waterfalls on the Keweenaw Fault, each with its own unique character. There are interpretive signs to help visitors to understand the geology of the area. These falls are especially nice in the spring...

Mountain Stream Falls in the Huron Mountain Club is one of my personal favorites in Upper Michigan. I've only been there a few times when I was working in that neck of the woods, and you need permission to get in there.

Colors just starting in this photo a few days ago, now beginning to show in Keweenaw County.

The last couple of days have been real nice. Not so today, with North wind and rain. Like the Lake Superior ship captain once said, "This is what I call living, none of your monotonous blue skies around here!"

I would come up here now if you want great weather and some awesome colors. If you wait for the so-called color peak, you will more likely have colder temps, wind, rain, or snow to deal with. It's Indian summer here right now!

Dusting of snow on summit of Mt. Bohemia on October 10, 2009. But since that date is already taken, I will go with unlucky November 13. Groomed skiing at Michigan Tech on November 13, 2012. An interesting wager, since oftentimes Mohawk can be a bit of an early season banana belt with places...

Just enough open water off my dock on Lac La Belle to cool off after taking sauna this afternoon. Gratiot Lake still looked completely frozen from the summit of Mt. Horace Greeley when I skied up there yesterday, and from the summit of Gratiot Mountain on April 23rd when I skied up there last...

More photos from today's trip up to Brockway.

Crust biking! What will they think of next. I've been crust cruising on skating skis for 30 years now in the Keweenaw. Today the off trail skate skiing was closed out because of deep snow and breakable crust, so I skied the snowmachine trail from Resolute up to the summit of Brockway Mountain...

Food for thought: "if we expect others to slow down for us, we should be willing to slow down for others". I'm trying to practice this more and more as I get older. Like slowing down for snowmobile trail crossings instead of speeding up to make sure that no one pulls out in front of me. Also...

Hoohray! The snowmachiners were all courteous today and stayed off the ski tracks. Thank you. And it's a beautiful day (just like in the movie, "Fargo")! To go with warm, flat beer, otherwise known as ****?

Sounds like things are getting rather political for a supposed snow related website. I loathe politics and also those who profit from selling illegal weapons (e.g., politicians) and those who profit from selling hatred (e.g., talk radio). What also pisses me off is when I drive to Swedetown to...

Sorry to offend, but I'm guessing that you guys can take it. Opinions will always vary, but it never hurts to think about it. One opinion: "Know that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under 16 years of age should not be permitted to drive a snowmobile, and children...
