    Retirement Scenario

    I agree. Maybe why things don't seem right these days because it seems like our freedom to choose is slowly slipping away. Probably why I'm drawn again to the Northwoods, for peace.

    Retirement Scenario

    I give you credit, that's dedication. I think my wife would get burned out after a 6 hour ride each way, she's not a car traveler. When we had our old cabin, it was only 90 miles one way. Looking back, should have just held onto it. Would have been worth a lot more today, thats for sure.

    Retirement Scenario

    You have quite a drive up there. How many days do you think you spend a year up there? I was looking to stay within 2-3 hours from our house in Kaukauna. I just figured we would use it more over the years and make it easier to build.

    Retirement Scenario

    I agree 100%. I am 55 and I see the writing on the wall. Even though my wife is kind-of onboard with the plan, I feel like I'm running out of time to build and then enjoy it. Trying not to overpromise anything. It would be so much easier if she were all in.

    Winter Storm Warning for 3/24 and 3/25 Northern Wisconsin

    Very little in the Appleton area and 35F already this morning.

    Retirement Scenario

    I 150% agree with your wife comment! If she is not onboard, with anything, even down to buying a sled, it's an uphill battle. I had a very nice log cabin on 5 acres for about 5 years. Admittedly, it was my dream more than hers and that's why it ultimately failed. I had to practically beg to get...

    Retirement Scenario

    Northern Wi for me. Living in Kaukauna now. Been looking for a nice 5+ acre parcel for a while and the prices are just going up and up. Hard to stomach them, lots of flippers over the past couple years trying to make a buck. Would be nice to be near a larger city of some sort. Planning on a...

    3-22

    About 4" in the Green Bay area. I'm sure it will be gone by the end of the weekend. Sunday they are calling for snow changing to all rain.

    TIME TO CALL IT ?

    Last time I looked at that cam, it was bare ground, maybe a few days ago. The last report I read from 3/18 says not enough to ride.

    TIME TO CALL IT ?

    Hard to imagine this time last year we were still riding and this year, my sleds are put away for the season 3 weeks ago. I vote for no more snow this winter, however, I do get that we need the moisture.

    New truck options

    Bought a nice 2008 Yukon XL a couple of years ago. Towed my old boat ok but my new boat is 5k lbs and it's not as good. The real downfall is the 4spd transmission. I think the comments about the 8 and 10 spd are worth considering. I have a buddy who has the 1/2 ton Silverado with the small...

    "Energy Independence", eh?

    I think one other thing to consider is the value of the dollar and that the BRICS nations are trying to get the US dollar out of the oil business. The less oil is bought with US dollars, the worse it will be for us. This plays into what we pay for fuels or anything for that matter. In the end...

    Mercury Avator 7.5E 15'' Outboard Motor

    If your only concerned with going 200ft or so, you could save a "boatload" of money and buy a really nice trolling motor. Your defiantly paying for the Mercury name. I think some of the other brands are pretty descent as well.

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    pclark... Just discovered this. Beautiful garage! Very inspiring! I hope to have one myself someday. I am limited by my lot and it needs to be attached to my house. Might be 15 x 40 with a partial second floor when all said and done. I'll look forward to looking back at your build.

    Really good weather news released today....regarding next WINTER

    I wanna say it was 2018 I think? Was cold all winter. I had my cabin in Wausaukee at the time. That winter I remember we rode a bunch right from our door and it was 2+ miles on a road to the trail. Usually mild winters we could not ride from the cabin because the snow would melt on the road. I...

    TIME TO CALL IT ?

    It's going to be a brutal sales season next fall. SOOO many new sleds or sleds with really low miles around. Some will buy new-new but most people that dont have a bottomless checkbook will be looking for "the deal" and the rest of us that rode very little will just run our current stuff next...
