    The Perfect Up North Property

    Well, I wish I could say I was that lottery winner a week or two ago but it wasn't me. But I have been saving. I'm definitely not buying some mansion but I don't need that either. 😂 Really though I'm pretty simple I don't mind doing a campsite style a lot. In fact I really kind of like sleeping...

    The Perfect Up North Property

    Thanks for the replies, lots of great thoughts & opinions are given here. For me, I think I'm leaning more towards something I can make my own. Start off more of a campsite. Or something with a large storage building then add a cabin in the future. Keeping the maintenance low is high on the...

    UP Fall Colors

    Here is my opinion, and you should know I have never been to the UP that time of year. But when I think of Fall colors I think of the wide panoramic vista overlooking a nice valley tree tops... Eastern side is nice but much flatter overall. There are still some great vista to lookout over for...

    The Perfect Up North Property

    Just what I was looking for... At few things I had not thought about either... Go Fast or Go Home - Random partiers is not something I had thought of. Spending a whole weekend cleaning up for other reason was a worry... m8man - Good points! toddspolaris - How do you like being right on the...

    The Perfect Up North Property

    I think everyone on here has either wanted, thought about, or is lucky enough to have a place up North. So what makes it that perfect place? How long of a drive from home is it for you? What would you do differently if you could change something about your place? What's on your must have...

    Snowmobile Hall of Fame Pictures

    Definitely a cool place to stop! Hooks to hang your gear on in the winter as well. I have stopped a few different times. They are always moving things around and adding stuff over time. The same goes for the Top of the Lake Snowmobile Museum in the UP. https://www.snowmobilemuseum.com/

    Colorado springs

    I was in Colorado Springs last June. Actually at the top of Pikes Peak 1 year ago to the day of the storm this year. I have a friend that lives in Colorado Springs and two weeks before we were there last year, Colorado Springs was hit with a snow storm. I think it was the last full week of May...

    The Season in Review with Pictures

    That is great for him! I've only seen two other guys, one over in Cadillac. The other was not on the trail but it was the full custom sled set up for Garrett Goodwin at the races in Lake Geneva. Yeah, I think I want to like every post!

    Conditions near Mercer, WI 3-25 & 26

    Yes, they are definitely big in person! And yes, we probably were there at the same time always funny how small the world it is... The bar was packed at that time too!

    Conditions near Mercer, WI 3-25 & 26

    Yes, the deer were everywhere! I came around a corner and one standing in the middle of the trail started running at me. About 200' before it got to me, it jumped in the woods. On the 11th I had a wolf that I crossed paths with by Sayner. Samething, I think I scared him out of the woods as I had...

    How many miles did you put on this season?

    That's too funny. Not sure how you would get a sled up there now. Other than the walking path but I think there are stairs if I remember correctly... Here is my son at the same spot on top of Brockway Mountain. Not sure why that would not post earlier... My first time up to Brockway...

    How many miles did you put on this season?

    Might want to look at the picture again... That is part of the trail. Also I do not know Snomoman or his group but I do know that area. As I've been there myself. That is the top of Brockway Mountain. Not one sign I remember but lots of tracks all over at the top. Giving you the benefit of the...

    Snowmobile Insurance

    I left SF in 2006 when my rates jumped up with no claims or other issues. Family had been with that agent for 3 generation... (That agent left SF shortly after and became independent.) But I always had the sleds with SF. I went with Indiana Farmers for the house but the sleds would go under a...
