    What are you most excited for?

    Tend to agree with Indy. Lots of brand-new or almost new stuff to try out this year which is always exciting. Before last winter I downsized trailers to an almost new Mission Crossover trailer. Never got to see how it towed last year as all our UP trips got cancelled. I also bought a...

    Happy B-Day Kip! I still remember the one year my Dad bought u a cake but he was off by at least a week on the date. It was the thought that counts.

    1-19-24 New snow

    Wife & I took off last 2 afternoons from work & I must admit it is the best riding I have seen in a long time here in IA. Gonna ride some more this weekend. Gotta love it! No trailering. Just leave straight from house.

    You are correct Indy. Not last year but the year before we got quite a bit of snow for Iowa standards. Last year Minnesota got hammered pretty good. When we get snow you have to get out & ride because like IOWASLEDDER said the trails will be garbage quickly due to traffic & many times warm...

    Put on a few miles riding here in Iowa yesterday afternoon/evening. I wish they wouldn't plow everything down so darn much but once you got outside of town the trails were pretty nice. Rode over to Sutliff & back from Ely. Shueyville is maybe 5-6 miles by sled for me. Small world. Who would...

    Yup, your stats are spot on. I am located in Ely just north of you. The wind is blowing so hard I can hardly see the house across the street.

    Favorite stops from back in the day..

    Many years ago while riding in Northern WI we took a "wrong turn" & ended up @ Bent's Camp outside Lando. What a cool place on the water. Just don't make it down there much since we mostly ride the UP these days.

    If Your Dog Could Talk...

    That really hits home as we got a silver lab just over a year ago. We had taken a break for a few years after losing our last yellow lab. They sure are loyal companions no matter what the circumstances are.

    John Dee

    If it weren’t for John I wouldn’t consider myself a part-time Yooper. As others have stated, he touched so many peoples’ lives. We definitely owe him a debt of gratitude. Such sad news. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

    Advice for using Marketplace

    My advice is pretty simple. Take good pictures of the item you are selling after making sure it is cleaned up & presentable. I see some people selling things with horrible pictures of dirty unmaintained looking items. Also, be detailed in listing out everything about said item so as to avoid...

    Pictures of National Puppy Day

    Here is our silver lab Rev. We picked him up just before Thanksgiving. He was around 9 months old when we got him. He loves to play fetch, go for rides in the truck & play in the snow. Pretty soon we will see what kind of swimmer he is. Never had a lab that didn't do well at that.

    Polaris Sled Recall...230,000 units

    Just had my sled in for pre-season service work & my dealer had not received any recall kits for a sled like mine which is a 2021 Switchback Assault 850. In general I don't think they had received hardly any to date for any sleds. Probably coming soon but doesn't seem like Polaris is quite...

    Highway 51 Construction South of Merrill

    I am looking for an update on the construction south of Merrill, WI on H51. Over Memorial Day weekend we hit stop & go traffic for an hour because they pinched things down to 1 lane on each side. Not fun & delayed us big time. Is this still in place or are things good now from Wausau to...
