6W out of Presque Isle into Manitowish Waters behind 30 Point along County W was the worst stretch of trail I have ever been on in nearly 50 years of riding. Tried to reach Pea Patch or Shillelagh yesterday but my tailbone and back would not have it. I hope you guys get that groomer up soon.

Thank you for being out there.

I think they were uncomfortable when I told them it was our club party and we were not able to ride yet because the trails were closed. I do believe that they really did not know they were in Wisconsin.

Bought the Exome a couple of weeks ago but have not used it yet because our trails are still closed. I'm wondering how long before the deflector thing breaks when it falls off of my sled while sitting on the side of the trail or when we stop somewhere. I may just remove it before first ride to...

Riders out again last night in Presque Isle. We attended the Sno-Bunnies Christmas party at the Outpost and a couple came in on sleds. They were not members of our club and were not sure which state they were in.?? I told them they were a couple of hundred yards into Wisconsin and they said they...

I was in the Retreat Bar in Presque Isle last night and 3 riders came in. Everyone looked a little shocked that they were out. I asked where they had come from because our trails are still closed. They said they rode down from Hurley. Trails were great. I asked about closed gates and then they...

I know a little about her but have never had the displeasure of actually meeting her. What I do know is that years ago my daughter worked at Camp Jorn as a counselor, and this is when "she" was throwing a lot of money at the camp for granite steps to the lake, paved paths through the woods and...

Skyview also had an inside web camera facing the bar area. Strategic seating was a smart move in case the wife checked to see if I was there.

There was a landing ramp. One picture is Adam Johnson and the other with different coat/bibs was his brother Cal.

Living in Presque Isle for about 6 months a year, I have to defend it a little bit. I have been up there since 1989 and yes there were a lot of tree huggers that adamantly opposed ATV's. They lost that battle. The Presque Isle/Winchester Sno Bunnie snowmobile club is great. They have numerous...

Thirty point opens at 10 am. Closed on Tuesdays. They also close mid-February for about a week because they have a side gig working the R/V show in Chicago.

Thanks Gary for the info. After seeing your post, I bought an Exome helmet. Replacing my gen 1 modular that I bought when I bought my 2003 MXZ. Probably long overdue not to mention the hits it has taken from those trees and poles that jump in front of me on the trail. Buying a second one for my...

Thanks for the info ddhanna.

Skyview struggled over the last winter with new owners and closed in spring. It went up for sale late summer. They are asking more than a million for it, which IMO is insane. Sad because before we owned up there, we would always stay there starting back in the 80s when Adam Johnsons mom owned...

I had the itch last week after prepping the sleds with new plugs, gas, oil, and new batteries. Where I'm at in Presque Isle (WI) I can head out the back of my property and hit Ottawa forest roads in the U.P. which takes me up to Marenisco where I can catch the trails. I didn't go because I...

I remember years ago there was a regular crew on the site and I think the thread was John Dee Family. Skylar, Big Vin, 1000, and a girl from Prior Lake Minnesota, Rev it Up ?? Are they still out there?

I hate to do an about face on this issue because I was vocal about the ski hill not being a good neighbor but new information has me reconsidering. My daughter was a part of all of the meetings and discussions between the ski hill owners and GRTA. She told me that the whole issue revolves around...

Record high 75 degrees predicted in Chicago today. Already have every window in the house open. Good day to wash car in driveway.

When Gary in Neenah started the first sled thread it brought back a lot of funny memories from my youth on a snowmobile so I'm starting this one to hear other stories. In 1979 the Chicago area got hit with pretty big snowstorm that closed a lot down including schools, so I made the best of it...
