    Young people for the most part don’t move to the Northwoods for employment primarily because there is so little opportunity. I’m sure a few may have come north but for the most part I only know younger folks who left due to little or no opportunities. They have done well in the Fox Cites and...

    I get it Mezz I always said don’t count your snowflakes until they hit the ground. Certainly we need a groomable base that can be packed , groomed and ridden in. Then we have something that gets better or worse depending on additional snow, traffic and temperature. As I said before think...

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    It’s catch as catch can without John’s forecast and then share here. Not a lot we can do about it but hope for a significant change in weather patterns get some grooming accomplished and build a base. Then we have something to talk about with trail reports. For me pull up a comfortable chair and...

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    I think there are different storm systems being discussed here. #1 this weekend is tracking thru the south then heading up the east coast. National weather channels and local Midwest tv not forecasting any snow for WI or MI over this weekend. #2 storm follows #1 but too far out in the Pacific to...

    Weather channel and Fox weather sees El Niño pattern holding for January. Both channels bullish on snow for east coast followed by a rain storm that might get interesting in Chicago. All this happens next week so way early in the forecast. 🤷‍♂️

    Hunter ceiling fan and light question

    Maybe if the connector plugs are the same. Just remember the longer the pole the chances of imbalance are probable and you will need to weight and balance. FJB has ceiling fans on his energy hit list and regulations so expect price increases.

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    Imo you have to be thinking November conditions, warm temps, ground not frozen and lakes are open along with swamps. Les snowbelts are best chance for snow but will be jammed with traffic so darn difficult to plan anything in these conditions. Imo make plans and reservations with places with...

    Lessons from John

    It’s an early November weather pattern waiting for the flip not closing in on January! We are way behind on a groomable trail base in the UP and trails in WI are routed thru swamps and over lakes. Realistically it will take some very cold weather then snow to get the groomers out. I don’t see it...

    Favorite stops from back in the day..

    The snow dust created on some of the road trails in Clark county by ATVs is incredible. Combining sleds and ATVs use on snow is like horse and buggy on the interstate with race cars. Crazy combination.

    Septic: Would this be a good move?

    Buddy used to put straw on his tank and field every winter. His cottage was never meant to be used year around but he never had a problem so straw sure can’t hurt.

    Favorite stops from back in the day..

    I don’t remember that and it’s been closed up for awhile now like most of Silver City but Foothills was a booming winter business in the 90s. It was the last restaurant before Silver Sands Motel and the Ski Hill.
