Arrived in Presque Isle yesterday afternoon and was shocked to still have the black flies/flying gnats. They are normally here for about a week in early to mid-May but they are still here. Mosquitoes are here but not too bad. I use the company Mosquito Authority to spray every 3 weeks and last...

Years ago, I took my nephews out fishing for muskies on our lake. I explained the solunar table to them and told them to figure out the major feeding period for the next day. We went out at the start of the major and both of them caught a musky within minutes of each other. Luck ? Maybe but I'm...

Its sad that some of the current and future leaders of this nation fail to understand what past generations, leaders, and soldiers did to ensure that we all breathe free air and are able to live life the way we want. Thank you to all of the people out there that continue to protect our nation...

Great pictures.

Didn't think I would be doing this again in mid-April. 15 inches in Presque Isle at 10 am and still coming down. Rain turned to snow last night around 9 pm. Drove up on Saturday from Chicago in shorts and a t-shirt because it was in mid 70s. Planned on summer prepping the snowmobiles but now I'm...

Completely understand. My neighbor was my insurance guy for the house and cars for many years. (Farmers Ins. Co.) No claims but they jacked my homeowners for "Bad Experience" throughout the nation with hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, etc. Not my problem. I told my neighbor that he was a good guy...

Gone two days in a row for me. Maybe he went to Daytona Beach for spring break. ?

March ordered a '24 Skidoo Grand Touring with the 900 ACE. I needed a 2-up at the cabin for guests and back-up sled. Parted with my '03 Skidoo MXZ 600 with the 1+1 seat that my wife rode with the kids on the back since new.

Just signed on. Aladdin is back. That was a one-day reprieve.

Signed on this morning and the unwanted guest was gone. How long will it last?

Beautiful pictures, if it was December or January or February. Looks a little tough to get to the snowblower on the deck to clean that stuff up.

Thanks for the morning laugh Gary! Every time I sign I wonder if he is still there. I almost think I will miss him when John and his tech guys finally give him the boot.

Just signed on John at 8:25 am central time. Creepy guy still there looking at me.

Johns forecast today shows some impressive snow hitting the Northwoods on Thursday/Friday and weather app on my phone shows Vilas County getting 10+ inches. Anybody left up there or those of you that live there full-time planning on one last ride? If I was there, I would be. Hope to read about...

Thank all of you for the great information here. Now that the season is over, I guess I have a lot of homework to do. To address a few of your comments regarding my situation: Mezz, all snowmobiles are kept/registered in Wisconsin. I have a 21 Renegade 600, wife and son have 17 MXZ 600s...

Off the top of my head, I cannot remember the last time the Vilas trails made it until the 31st. Next trip north I will have to look at the cabin journals and see if I noted it in any of the years since 1997 when we bought up there. Great season and thank you to any groomers out there that might...

I am looking for any information or ideas on what everyone out there does for insurance on your sleds. Now that the season is over for me, it aggravates me to pay for liability insurance for 7 snowmobiles that will sit in the garage and not move for 9 months. Is there a carrier out there that...

About 1000 miles for us. Based out of Presque Isle and primarily rode Vilas, Iron, and Gogebic Counties. Rode 22 days/different trips for the season. Most of it on weekdays to avoid the crowds and when the trails were in great condition. Left the Northwoods yesterday for the trip back to the...

I admire their ambition but that does not look like fun to me.

6"+ yesterday in Presque Isle, 3-4" overnight and coming down hard right now even though weather channel and accuweather says nothing is happening here. Lake effect??
