I entered the season with out even having a sled and I live in Vilas County, go figure. I was set to sit out the season because sleds were priced way over what I wanted to pay for the right one. As luck would have it I lucked into buying a nice 2017 at a great price around January 15th and spent...

We had ice out a few years ago in mid May but the last 2 years have been right around April 18 according to my records. Had snow until after Memorial day at the end of the driveway where the plow stacked it up pretty high one year. Spring is my least favorite season even when we lived in...

Yep, we will have a lot of cold damp weather now until it gets nice out, somtime in June like you said. Right now, I am ready for the snow to melt as we are in the inbetween which does not look very good right now, dirty snowbanks, frozen rutty roads in the morning and slushy in the afternoon...

FYI, it was a great season and the clubs did a great job on the trails this year. Thanks!

Wednesday 3/16, still a.lot of snow but the trails are taking a big hit. Its 50 at noon with partly sunny skies. When the sun comes out I have to tell you it feels really good out there after the winter we have had. I'm done for the year.

Its amazing what 8 hours of full sun and 43 degrees can do to the trails. Snow cover is still deep but it took a beating today so only thing left is out in the woods around here. 51 degrees and partly sunny on Wednesday and same for the rest of the week so it's coming to a quick end up here.

Its Tuesday 3/15, high of 42 and full sun today, overnight low of 9, temp was 36 and sunny in the afternoon on Monday. We still have plenty of snow and riding this week for a couple of more days is there to be had. It is supposed to warm up into the 40's and 50 as the week progresses so that...

You are welcome Starlaker, I'm glad you were able to get that last nice ride in for the season. I may try one more today as I think it's probably the last good day for the trails in and around towns. I may ride the woods a little bit later this week as well but I am afraid this could be it. It...

1.5" in Manitowish Waters

Quick 75 miles today, Left MW 12 degrees when I hit the trail, nice and firm, smooth trails everywhere. Rode north towards Winchester and then west by NW up towards Hurley in the backwoods where not many people like to ride. Trails were just perfect and spectacular. A couple short road sections...

The new way to steal gas is apparently just drilling a 3/8" hole in the bottom of the tank, inserting a gas line into it and draining it. Apparently the new vehicles have a mechanism in the system that prevents tanks draining in accidents so using a siphon hose like this on the newer cars will...

You guys should be good through the weekend if you stay in Vilas. I am going for a ride tomorrow morning and from what I saw on my trip down to Rhinelander today (by car) anything south of Minocqua could be a little thin where the sun hits. Going to be in 40's next week so this could be it for...

It was noted that Russia exports on wheat total 18% of the worlds wheat and Ukraine's are 8% so 26% of the worlds wheat comes from those 2 countries. There will be food shortages in Europe with regard to wheat. Another 18% comes from other countries in that Eastern European region. Leading...

Are you on the Star Lake north of Sayner? I only ask because there are several up here, if so that is a nice area, with Plum Lake Golf Course and that old Lodge named Hintzs on Star.

$5.09 for Premium in Manitowish Waters today, Regular was a deal at $4.19 gl. $5.09 gl for diesel but they were all out of it, i bet that goes up by Friday with their next delivery. Good thing Spring is coming and we have only a few more months of heating.

Old Abe, you beat me to it..........

Same, it was called Minocqua Brewing Company before as well.

Well spoken

That woman would be Liz Uhlein, she and her husband Dick, both very conservative people own ULINE Industries. I will say that you have your facts straight about the condo's on Rest Lake and I believe she paid a hefty fine for that and should have. With regard to Smokeys, I have heard a few...

I think you should be fine, I looked at the camera on the Beacons and it shows snow covered. I am 20 miles north and our lakes are all snowcovered, there is slush in spots so keep that on mind if you are off the lake trail but with a name like "flyingmudboy" I'll take a stab that you don't get...
