    We got Hammered overnight.....8 plus and still snowing

    There is a coincidence, I also live in Rock County and my wife & I have our camper on a permanent/seasonal site just down the road from Castle Rock Lake. Most of our weekends in the summer are spent there & on the lake!

    We got Hammered overnight.....8 plus and still snowing

    Do you know or think if North of you got around the same amount? I'm wondering if Price County was hit as well, Weather Channel app says only like 3" over-night for Fifield...not that I fully trust their reports.

    Pine Lake Lodge Mission Helmet swapped out and taken

    I totally understand where you are coming from on the 3 or 4XL helmets as I wear the same size. I purchased the carbon fiber Mission late last season and with the difficulty of finding one and the cost, I refuse to let that damn thing out of my sight!

    Attakman-Fire at the Tripoli BP

    I agree, I liked stopping there on my way up or back home from my cabin in Price County.

    Tripoli BP on Hwy 8 burns down

    Whoa, that is sad. That station is on the way to my cabin in Price County. That station was a big help many times when I have "pushed" getting gas on my way up, or a quick stop on my way home.

    KEN BLOCK-auto daredevil died in a snowmobile accident out west,

    Very sad & totally shocking to hear about Ken Block's passing and on a snowmobile none-the-less. We lost a racing legend. R.I.P. Ken, my condolences to his family, friends and all of his fans, he will be truly missed.

    Floor protection and pattern for inline trailer

    I feel like the trapping of moisture will not be a problem, as the tiles interlock very well & the bottom of the tiles have "ribs" for support, so it's not a solid flat surface. (Time will tell if I'm right on that) The tiles are 1/2" thick and a solid yet smooth with some slide to them...

    Floor protection and pattern for inline trailer

    https://www.costco.com/motofloor-modular-garage-flooring-tiles-48-square-feet-per-box-1'-x-1'-tiles.product.100009181.html I'm currently installing garage floor tiles that I found at Costco. I have seen other trailers done with these & I really liked how it looks. My Trailer is a 7x19 14' box +...

    Building / Shop advice

    Very good information being provided here about the metal roofs! I was very interested in having a metal roof installed on my log cabin in Price County. After attempting to find an installer, the nearest was from Minocqua, and their quote was almost 3 times the cost of asphalt shingles in 2018...

    How was your camping season?

    We are seasonal in the Mauston/New Lisbon area, very close to Castle Rock Lake. We have been there since 2018 and I feel that our season was way too short too! We missed a few weekends due to my wife coming down with Covid and then we found a new kitten and added that to our family that took...

    My First Snowmobile was a .....

    1975 Yamaha GP433, technically wasn't exactly mine as it was my Dad's, but I almost put more miles on it than he did. My Grandpa had a 1975 Arctic Cat Cheetah that I did actually put more miles on than he did, so I kinda thought that sled was mine too! The 1st snowmobile that I actually bought...

    Knee Replacement Surgery - Anyone?

    Hi Mezz, thanks for bringing us along and keeping us updated on your journey. My MIL had double partial knee replacements done last Monday. My wife was gracious enough to take her to and from the surgery and care for her post-op in our home. I'm very concerned on how she will recover as she gets...

    Electric vehicle

    True, but at least the "real" Mustang is still being built, is still rear wheel drive, still offered with a ICE V-8 and still offered with a manual transmission.

    Electric vehicle

    This right here sums it all up! As much as I love Ford vehicles, Ford completely destroyed the name of what was once one of the greatest limited-edition vehicles and muscle trucks to replace it with this abomination of an electric vehicle.

    Electric vehicle

    I'm definitely seeing some valid points on this discussion of electric vehicles. However, I do not see the switch over to total electric vehicles only ever happening. I actually hope it does not in my lifetime. Where are the people that live on lower incomes ever going to find the money to...

    HIGHLANDS YAMAHA CLOSED

    This is sad to hear! I have bought many items from them over the years, mostly at the Milwaukee Snow Show (which I feel is on it's way out too!), I only visited their dealership once about 4 or 5 years ago. Without seeing this stated here, I would not have known they were "done".

    What was your favorite chassis?

    I remember many people changing out the shocks for a better ride. I'm a rather big dude, so the way it came from the factory worked really well for me. My Viper runs really good yet, I actually do enjoy riding it but also once you ride the new technology sleds the old one's just aren't quite as...
