I saw the soo and wawa groomers are starting to work towards each other. They had pretty decent snow coverage in that area but not much north of wawa until you get up towards hornepayne. What a weird year for sure. We're looking at the 2nd half of Feb now. Might look at Quebec too.

We decided not to go. Seemed like it was marginal last weekend, and that was when it was cold and there was snow elsewhere. Plus we all had some family stuff we were skipping out on. A couple of the days we would have been up there, the low is in the 30's. I assume crazy traffic and there's no...

Probably built like a tank and will keep going another 20.

I'm in the same boat but thinking of driving up Wednesday. Everything I'm seeing is early season marginal conditions and that is before the temps get into the 30s later this week. Starting to lean against going

Best I can tell the snow cover in the UP is spotty - good in a few pockets but kind of scattered. And there's some kind of storm coming through early next week that could be rain or snow depending on how far north. Was thinking about driving to Mass City Wednesday night and riding for a few...

Thanks for mentioning it's updated. It's strange how I miss reading John's updates on Sundays. Been a habit for decades now! I feel bad mentioning that given what his family has lost. Thanks for continuing to share your life with us. My oldest son is the same age as Grace and I just can't...

Me too. Happy to pay some kind of subscription. Geesh - I've relied on johndee.com for 20+ years and other than a make a wish contribution, I've never paid anything for all the info I get on here, both from John or from other members.

Same here - don't put the locks on while traveling. We haven't had issues since we quit doing that.

Don't think anyone would be surprised that those are the last of the procross chassis.

Sorry for your loss. You sound like a fantastic Papa getting all that ready for the grandbaby!

That looks nice. We had some of the best conditions the past couple seasons. Probably luck of the draw as to when we planned our trips but still. Tough year so far!

The timing is interesting since the last El Niño of this magnitude was in 97.

His forecast for this season is spot on so far unfortunately. On the bright side no one is worried about the January thaw...

Was going to take the kids up to Eagle River probably today. Oh well. We passed up 2 good opportunities last year due to their sports schedules...won't make that mistake again!

Merry Christmas!

I don't see how that will re-open anytime soon although I've seen some chatter from some people wanting to re-open it.

This super el nino isn't screwing around...

I broke a torsion spring on my fusion one trip up there. Didn't have much choice but I kept riding it and made sure I stood up if there were any bumps. It wasn't too bad on one spring. But on the last leg of the loop on the way back to the truck in Searchmont and about a mile from Halfway Haven...

For now yeah. There are a number of issues going on there but the biggest is that the seasonal road that is used to get gas to it has some significant wash outs so that you can't get gas to it. They've also had troubles finding operators and the building is in need of some TLC. It would probably...

Had some good times at the bar in Mass City the past few winters. It's hard not to be in a good mood when you are sitting there, whether you excited about the upcoming day's ride or rehashing the day you just finished. The pizza always hits the spot. Always liked the wawa motor inn too. And...
