Have had a couple Katahdin 2xlt jackets and for the price they seemed very nice. Some good things have been said on the forum below. And could buy 3 jackets for what one overpriced Klim jacket costs:) https://www.hardcoresledder.com/threads/katahdin-snowmobile-gear.965033/ We Know Cold...

Looks like STDs could be waiting around every corner:) But enjoy!

Broke out the green and gold hat "Property of Chicago" for the last trip in WI. They love that one:)

Gateway Lodge in Lando is always a good choice and usually my 1st. Love sitting near the fireplace in the morning to have coffee and to plan out the day ahead.

Does anyone live around Kalkasta? Anything good to say about this area....just for living and recreational purposes? I hear cost of living is decent and Traverse is nearby and can offer a lot.

The Big Fitz....what a ship and how harrowing to take that thing into 35 footers! At the time its radar dome had been removed for repairs, and they had relied on crew over on Anderson to provide navigation as the backup radar may not have been working reliability in the heavy storms. Anderson...

Hopefully a rental and just mash the throttle without a care:)

Trail 6 heading east out of Land O' which would bring us to the Sunrise Lodge. Always a great ride as I thought about the day ahead and all the trails to be ridden a great breakfast to be had!....Fond memories

Who put that out:) Crazy. 95% of these Chinese machines are crap for sure!!
