    3 Lines is Fine

    In MI 3 lines for one license is legal. You knew that right ? 6 lines between 2 fisherpersons plus add in blowing snow, wind, cold and a heated shanty. Sounds good to me.

    Michigan Trails

    Does each region or club make the decision to open trails and keep them open in MI or does the Dec 1 thru March 31 date apply statewide and leave it up to us if we want to ride in marginal snow areas ? I thought 4" was the number used but even that can be interpeted differently just a few miles...

    Another LES Question

    I watched a local "winter weather" show in MI. They claimed that the Grt. Lks LES bands can stretch out and carry snow and moisture and affect the weather as far south as Georgia and the Carolinas and everywhere in between which may be Hundreds, maybe a Thousand miles away and that it's not...
