    northern white birch

    I have been wondering about this for years and thought maybe someone on here had experience and/or knowledge on this subject. The north woods have had a dramatic drop in the levels of Northern White Paper Birch. A few people I have spoken with blame the Bronze birch borer beetle. I remember so...

    Trail Report for Trail 2 from Florence To Iron River, MI

    for those of you interested in this area I went out tonight to check the trail conditions. I plan on riding tomorrow in this area and wanted to know first hand how it was.

    Big bay trail conditions

    Can anyone confirm this report from the 550 snowmobile club from Big Bay? I would have thought the trails would be in better shape than what they are reporting. I have noticed in the past they have tended to lower the rating as apposed to rating the trails better than they really are, which...

    Canadian section of the site

    Hey John, Have you ever considered incorporating a section for Eastern Canada (Ontario & Quebec)? I realize most users are from the U.S. and primarily the Midwest but was thinking if it caught on with Canadian riders it would also help us mid westerners find out more info about trails in the...

    I thought about this while reading the thread "how this winter is shaping up". I would like to hear all the relationships that have started as a result of visiting this site. I have ridden with a couple guys that found me on this site due to my location (Florence, WI area) and they contacted...

    lost GoPro on trails 109 or 8/15

    Hello everyone, I lost my GoPro camera last night while on trail 109 or on the 8/15 section down to Sidnaw. We stopped at the Sturgeon River Falls overlook and I had it then. By the time we came down 109 to 8/15 to Sidnaw Gas station it was gone. If anyone finds it on the trail can you contact...

    New truck ride 1/2 ton vs. 3/4 ton

    I'm considering buying my first pickup ever. I've got my eye on a 3/4 ton but would like to hear comments regarding the ride compared to the 1/2 ton. Of course, I realize the 3/4 ton will be stiffer...I'm trying to see if it's so dramatic that I should consider a 1/2 ton. I'm assuming the brand...

    Trail 5 to Big Bay

    Rode Trail 5 from the trail 5/trail 8 junction. Definitely had enough snow, perhaps a few more runs from the groomer would be helpful. Aside from the area that had recently been logged which was about 10 miles north of the junction I thought the trail was in better shape than I expected. I...

    Warning Trail 2 west of Florence

    CAUTION: I rode this trail yesterday. West of the 2/113 junction ON trail 2 there is a washout where water has been flowing across the trail and didn't freeze. some could be riding fast in this section of trail and you don't see it until you are on top of it.

    Trail 15

    Rode trail 15 from trail 2 north about 10-15 miles. Horrible. Had to turn around. Couldn't take it any more. Should have been on an ATV. The first couple of miles coming off of trail 2 (heading north) weren't too bad. Once you hit the deep woods and low areas it was thin snow and bumps. Hard bumps.

    Trail 2 from Florence to Watersmeet

    Rode 2 from Florence, WI west to Watersmeet today. Florence trails were surprisingly good. Not many rocks/gravel. For some reason, once you cross the bridge into Michigan the trail seems like it has less snow on it and has a lot of gravel mixed in. This is the case all the way to Iron River...

    Delorme Inreach SE or spot gen 3

    I am finding myself riding alone or riding with my wife on a two up without anyone riding with us much more often than I have in the past. Because of this I'm considering one of the two GPS tracking devices and I"m leaning towards the Inreach due to the two way communication option as well as...
