    What about 2 season old fuel?

    I would probably try to pump it out. Peace of mind. I use the stabil marine before storage. I normally try to pump out as much as possible in the fall though. Never had any issues.

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    Sounds like my wife. She's a dental hygienist, so very hard for her to get off. I can pretty much take off at any time. Definitely hard when you try to plan trips earlier and later in the season when you do not have guaranteed snow. Hotel prices are pretty reasonable out there. We went in early...

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    @indy_500 I'm contemplating West yellowstone. I haven't been there since '09, and a good year to do it. I checked snowest for conditions and looks like you are thinking the same!:) I do not even have a mile on my truck/trailer this season. Not bad considering I have 600 miles in this season...

    Snowmobile GPS thoughts?

    I've been using the Garmin Drive with VV mapping. I'm on my 2nd one. The power connection got loose over time, and would not power on. I expected that just with the beating on the sled. Worked well for 3 years though. $60 for used ones, so not too bad! I did silicone the edges as others have...

    WI DOT is ending the frozen road declaration for the entire state tomorrow. Craziness.

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    I believe you're talking about the Dane/Sauk bridge over the WI River. It appears they put $500K in this year, and $250K in the next 2 years. They still approved a lot of other bridge rehab projects though. It appears they approved 336 new miles of funded trails. There wasn't anything added...

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    Looks like 20 bridge rehab projects? $1.1 Mil. Nothing new for bridges though. Was your club's bridge new or rehab? It does show some comments on the rehab requests, A good snow season brings in a need of extra Supplemental funding. Plus add some storm damage also...

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    Speaking for WI, all that money goes into the segregated snowmobile trail aids fund. Fall tasks involving brushing and signing still happened and get paid out. There was a good amount of grooming going on in S. WI for the 10 days. Nowhere near the rate of clubs grooming in a normal N. WI winter...

    looking at ski doos, need advise

    Correct. The new 800 HO they introduced in 2015 has been very reliable and proven engine. Cooling updates in 2018. My '18 800 XCR runs 20F cooler then my '17. 7K mileage on my '18, never been opened up and trouble free. 8.5K on my '17. New top end at 7K to play it safe during covid.

    Great trip up nor… I mean down south!

    I've ate at the Dump twice since trails opened. Fast and excellent food! You drove past my house on the trail. I live 1/4 mile down from Coopers. I saw 2 sleds go past around 7ish. Possibly you!

    Great trip up nor… I mean down south!

    Nice you guys got down this way!! Especially with it really only being the good snow in the midwest. Fun while it lasted... Crazy you can see the power plant from miles away. I believe that will be shutdown within a year or two. That second to last picture Indy took is just outside Lodi. I got...

    Nice. That was the Endeavor crew(Dan, Bill, or John). Yes, they are putting on a Chili dump at the warming shack starting at 11am. Everyone's welcome!

    Waushara County

    Glad you got some miles on! Westfield down to Endeavor has some good twisty trails. Watch those drainage ditches. I've seen people put their sleds in there..:oops: Foxy's always has good food. We've had various county meetings at the bar, and a good supporter of the clubs. Took a pic around the...

    Storm Central: Friday 1-12-24

    Just stay west of highway 12. Northern Dane is mostly all open fields. I got some more riding the last 2 days. I rode Marquette and Columbia county on Monday. My boy(4 1/2) did awesome with the cold temps. We bought him heated gloves, which really helped. I rode mostly Columbia county and a...

    Waushara County

    You'll be around my area. We rode them on Monday. Nothing groomed, but plenty of good snow and trails! Northern Columbia county was groomed. That is a nice section of wooded areas. Back to work today. but racked up 350 miles of local riding the last couple days.

    Now can the Pack please beat Dallas?

    That was a fun one! Love played outstanding! They played loose all game. Life's good! My weekend isn't over. I'm keeping my boy out of school tomorrow to go riding. Teacher asks if due to cold temps. I respond yes🤣

    Storm Central: Friday 1-12-24

    Sleds were out yesterday! We rode in Columbia county. Lot of families out yesterday. Lot of smiles talking to riders at stops. Surprisingly there wasn't too many wet spots that we encountered. Winter finally arrived here😁 sorry for the others that didn't get the predicted snow. At least there...

    Storm Central: Friday 1-12-24

    Probably another 7" in North Columbia county. My boy already has 15-20 miles on the 120 today. Deep in the field! Trails opened at 3! Various S, WI counties are starting to open.

    Trailer padlocks

    I've had the same trimax hockey puck locks for 13 years. I have 3 keyed alike. They've been trouble free! Never have seen salt either.

    Storm Central for Tuesday

    Buddy in Middleton said 6" so far. Portage is 5" right now, and it's coming down. It really picked up the last 2 hours. :)
