A PUPPY CAM! Got word that Maia, one of the mascots of the Ash Trail Lodge in the boundary waters of MN is getting ready to have pups- at least 14 of them! Tom from the lodge has moved one of the cams to capture everything. I just checked and things are pretty dark right now, but hoping for...

Just got back from my morning walk with the pups. Got caught in some lake effect rain. About halfway through that first rain shower, I saw the precip bounce off my jacket, so I held out my hand to catch some and sure enough graupel (ice pellets)! The second shower was even more intense and tried...

Helping out the good folks in Copper Harbor with this. Not that one needs a reason to hop on the hog and head to the Harbor, but here is a good one! -John

First, congrats to the good folks of central MN, northern WI and the far southern UP that have been shellacked with snow overnight! Should make for a fantastic weekend of riding! Secondly, I received the reimbursement check from the Ride-In Registration the other day and was able to come up...

Been happening for about 30 minutes now. Not exactly sure what it is. I will dig out some of my old text books to see if I can figure it out. Any ideas? -John
