Completely agree. I am also the one who pulls over and lets a group pass. Most of our rides are with a group of 4 or 5 sleds. I will usually lead and my son takes the rear. Every time I see headlights behind him I just pull over. Numerous times this season he was all bent out of shape because...

Sad news out of Gogebic County for the last week. 2 fatalities. First one was a male on the Ramsay re-route around the ski hill property. Only details I know is that he fell off of his sled and was run over by his companion who then crashed and broke his leg. Second was last night in Marenisco...

Correct Tim. Just talked with a Michigan DNR officer. 17 years old, no snowmobile safety certificate required.

Not looking to spar with you whitedust and as I said, I was sorry to hear of another death and would extend condolences to the family if I knew them. I don't mean to disrespect a fatality topic but when the DNR investigation is complete, riding style, ie. speed, is exactly what this unnecessary...

My wife was checking WUPN and Facebook this morning and saw something about another Oneida fatality over the weekend. I did not see the story and was surprised when I signed on to this forum today that there is no talk of this yet. 40 something year old male overtaking another sled on the trail...

I got stuck in both of those crashes yesterday in southern Wisconsin. Left Presque Isle 10 am. Snow all the way to Wausau. Roads got better south 51 to Portage . Got a call from a friend in Chicago asking where we were at. I was in Madison and he told me 40-50 car pile-up on 39/90 N/B in...

Took a short ride yesterday to MW from PI to get lunch and found Shillelagh to be closed so I thought I would start this thread for local information. Please add to it with any info you may have. Ran into some riders from Boulder Jct. who said not a single place open to get lunch or a beer there...

A lot of great ideas here but the best way to correct the problem is strict and aggressive enforcement of the loud pipes, no registration, no trail permit, riding off trail and OWI. I get it. Everyone is shorthanded and has financial constraints including DNR law enforcement. Other than last...

We have been out on the trails every day for almost two weeks except for last Friday and I found it somewhat interesting that I see more sleds parked at the bars and restaurants then I see on the trails. Last Thursday we did a loop from Presque Isle to Boulder Jct. to Manitowish Waters to...

2" in Presque Isle from yesterday afternoon and light snow falling now.

Great Lakes Dragaway brings back some great memories of Friday/Saturday nights when I was in high school. Do they still do a grudge race night in summer?

My daughter's boyfriend is in Mexico on a hunting trip and shot a mountain lion 2 days ago. I don't know what town/area he is in but has a local guide that speaks no English. The guide scoped it and all he could say was Puma, Puma, and some utterance of shoot it. He was told that the mountain...

I can see both sides of this being that the back of my Wisconsin property touches the Ottawa in Gogebic/Michigan. Normally our riding is primarily done in Wisconsin but this year my wife wanted to ride Michigan trails again. It has been several years since I bought Michigan trail passes but I...

Thanks old abe. I will see him tomorrow and relay the advice. Verizon is actually the ones that approached him after some sort of study to figure out best placement for coverage. Right now, they are haggling over monthly compensation. I was amazed at what they are willing to pay. I don't...

I have Verizon and split my time between Chicago and Presque Isle. In Chicago there is no problem but this trip to PI the service has been horrible. If my calls are not broken up, they drop and this has been an everyday thing. Good news for us up here is that Verizon is negotiating with a friend...

31 degrees and rain in Presque Isle at 9am. Snow starting to slide off of the metal roof with additional rain weight. Short ride yesterday on Presque Isle/Winchester trails. Surprised to see how nice the trails were after the heavy weekend traffic.

It was not marked, no barrels as of yesterday morning but a lot of sled traffic out there.

I have to give credit where credit is due since I ripped on MW trail 6 about a week ago and someone's panties got bunched up. Rode Presque Isle, Manitowish Waters, Mercer trails the past two days. Absolutely incredible on Thursday. Left PI on trail 6W. Jumped on 14 and took that to 19 in Iron...

Thanks for the advice and opinions. Can't stop laughing about the exchange between Gary and Garageguy. The wife thinks I'm nuts sitting here laughing at the screen. You guys made my day.

I am looking for some input on snowmobile jackets. The one I have now was a gift several years ago and I don't like it. It is a Skidoo brand. Too big and bulky and I feel like the Michelin tire man. Just curious what anybody out there is wearing and pros/cons of what you like. Thanks in advance...
