    They did the same with DNR about 10 years ago for snowmobiling. The so called safety team would set up dragnets stop every sledder shake them down for paper registration ask dumb questions and let you thru. If you were visiting a town restaurant you got shaken down in and out a total pita. The...

    Kalesafe clothing pop up add on JD site

    Yeah I’m the proud owner of this chain saw sharpener that doesn’t work. Straight off FB ad. Learned my lesson regarding pop up ads and videos and never buy from Chinese.

    I’m known for making the best of bad things that happen in life. Believe me I would rather be back in Vilas but my family needed me here in Waterford so here Iam. Ironically my best riding Bud moved back to IL for family issues too. So now we are snow chasers longing for the UP and Vilas county...

    Overnight trip from Phelps/Conover, where to?

    First of all get some maps. Generally ride east and south of Phelps on the weekends less traffic greater chance of good groom. If friends from Conover meet at Great Escape or the Convenience Center. Since you like the UP you can back door Iron River from WI 6e to 15 take MI trail 2 west lunch...

    Respect exists here in Waterford on the Fox River plus Tichigan and Buena Lakes. Lots of close running but no fist shaking or fingers from the shoreline that I experienced in Vilas. This area is extremely mellow just people having fun on the water. I was surprised how easy going and tolerate...

    Overnight trip from Phelps/Conover, where to?

    I would suggest your first timers stay at the Lakeview Motel in Phelps since they have rooms packaged with snowmobile rentals. Since you are on North Twin just the lake between you and your friends and the ice is marked but safe everywhere in that area. From Phelps ride north south east or west...

    I don’t have a different opinion of wake boats and I had 100 feet of floe dock on a sand bar on Spectacle Lake and wakes came rolling in with any boat. Boat type restrictions lead to many other water use restrictions like engine size , boat size and the next irritation which would PWCs. I’m a...

    Goofy has it exactly correct. Snowmobiling in NW Vilas has never been an issue has been embraced for as long as I can remember. I’m sure there are residents that hate snowmobiles but that ship has sailed. It’s lake use and shoreline development that has paired the DNR and greenies to a cult like...

    Anybody gearing up for the opener?

    Looked like the track moved further west which allows more warm air in south of the low track. Luckily we have plentiful of time

    That’s super good Presque Isle used to be one of the worst ever! I just couldn’t take those people and their views. If it had an engine or made noise they would hang you in the town square like a trophy buck. Lol.

    Quality Turtleneck Shirts

    Thanks I saw that but decided to go with Duluth sale on mock turtlenecks since I know how they fit with poly base underneath. Hopefully quality is there since Duluth has been cheapening up their line.

    Extreme northwest Vilas has always been full of tree hugger greenies that hate chain saws and leaf blowers it disturbs their serenity now emotions. Lol. I was apparently well advised to not purchase real estate in that area. DNR loves those folks and the DNR in Vilas always in bed with liberals...

    POLARIS FACTORY PRODUCTION

    That works in the now but unsure how long Polaris can maintain that attitude. As much as sleds cost now days I want what I want and if I can’t get it I’m not buying. Said by a guy who has what he wants from skidoo only change if Yamaha comes up with a new 150 hp 4s sled with eps. Would I...
