    December 9th through the 12th - Western UP

    I'm going up to the UP after work on the 9th and coming back on the 12th... snow depth permitting. I'll have an extra spot in the trailer if someone needs a ride OR needs a sled transported. Leave work in Waukegan IL about 4pm. Going north up 94 to 894 to 41 to 45 into the UP. Plan to leave...

    Anyone have plans to ride for early December?

    Obviously there needs to be snow. I'm wondering who plans to go up either of the first weekends in December if you can ride. I have both Fridays off and am thinking of pulling the plug on the first because of the current conditions. Thoughts?

    Obama visits the Western UP.

    He stopped by Krupp's to participate in the trail clean up and posed for a photo on the Mass Bluff. I think he was around for the dinner but in disguise. I spoke with him briefly and he promised not to take away snowmobile trails and for a great winter. We'll see!

    Man vs. Wild - Canadian Rockies

    If you can catch this episode on Discovery Channel I highly suggest watching it. It doesn't compare to Mike's class but gives a new angle when you see the avalanche part. I also really liked the blizzard segment. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie"...

    Fall is in the air here in Northern IL

    Is is a brisk 57 degrees here with a nice wind. A few more boat rides and the boat comes out of the water and the sled gets to feel loved again. Hay Days in two weeks. I thought this time would never come.

    Tires

    My Firestone Destinations improved the ride noticeably from what was on the truck. I bought the e-rated tires and am now wondering what is the best PSI to run them at. They can handle up to 80psi which is nuts. I'm thinking 40-50psi for everyday driving and the best fuel economy. Here are...

    Over the hood POW

    Thanks to everyone who stayed out of a certain area this week. I wasn't expecting to ride over the hood powder with no crust underneath. It definitely made this trip and caused one guy who is riding with to extend his trip one more day. No camera but I'll try to get some VHoldr footage up on...

    People after sledding accidents in the Yoop?

    I have seen a few accidents during my years of riding in the UP and often wondered what happened to those people after the fact. There is one guy in particular that I often wonder about because I pass the area so often. It was in Feb. of 2008 just outside of Mass where the powerlines run next...

    Missing GPS north of Mass (in the woods)

    If anyone comes across a GPS in the woods to the north of Mass please let me know. I won't give the specific area but can tell whoever finds it where it is and the type of GPS it is. My buddy lost it on Friday when we were playing in the trees.
