    Automotive waxes???

    I haven't done a real wax job in years. I don't have any vehicles worth waxing. My sled is worth more than my cars, I wax that a lot... LOL

    That's A Lot of Water!

    The boat launch in Wrightstown is actually flooding the parking area. Way over the concrete docks by the ramp. Never seen it that high.

    That's crazy! Wow, even compared to my cabin in Pelican Lake, it's way more.

    Lawn Service; Yea or Nea

    I bought all the stuff to spray for mosquitoes, but it never seemed to work nearly as well as the professional companies, so I let them do it now.

    Weather for 2026/2027

    Ground is pretty soggy here in the Kaukauna area. We had lots of rain the last week or so. Grass is till brownish. Been working on my sled to get it ready for next season. Should have that done here soon. I'm really ready for it to dry up, a lot, especially at the cabin. I'm getting a load of...

    Lawn Service; Yea or Nea

    1/3 Acre. I have Naturescapes do 5 treatments a year (weed and feed) for $80/ea. Kinda getting up there a bit although the lawn looks nice with no weeds. Considering having them spray for mosquitos again this year. It really works great. I have a small creek in my back yard which is a breeding...

    Weather for 2026/2027

    I was trying to remember which year it was. I think 2018 maybe? I had my old cabin in Wausaukee and I had to ride a road trail for a couple miles to get to the regular trail. That winter was cold and I remember the road being snow covered all winter. I wouldn't mind a little more central Wi snow...

    100% agree. 40 years of chasing, the older I get the more tired of chasing I get, LOL. Every year it's the ups and downs of the weather and yeah, hard to predict tomorrow vs a year from now. We'll see what next season brings. I do miss John's winter forecasts. At least you knew he was a snow...

    Weather for 2026/2027

    I'm no weatherman, don't shoot the messenger. This morning I saw the first weather report looking ahead to the rest of this year. Looks like a El Nino is building again heading into summer/fall/winter. Looking at this chart, if you see the red in late 2023, this year will look similar. This...

    Wolf River State Trail

    I always thought this time of year would be good if you had a beater sled, something air cooled maybe. Just something to get out there for a quick ride. Maybe someday.

    The Future of our sport

    I would agree with SXS having a trail sticker, especially if they use state trails and so forth. Maybe there could be shared revenue for common ATV/Sled trails? Dunno. Just thinking if there was a way to help each other out (sleds and SXS). All the local businesses would benefit from it too.

    The Future of our sport

    I wonder why the $10 Wi permit thing isn't working. Seems like a no brainer if you own more than 1 sled to pay the club fee for the discount passes. I do it mainly to support the clubs one way or the other. The MI pass price is getting up there. Personally, if WI has snow, I'm staying down here...

    We stopped at Bents Thursday and they looked closed. Then a guy ran out and told us they were open otherwise we would have left. They were actually closed for the season but decided to open for a few days because of the snow. Probably 15 sleds there before we left. We rode for about 20 miles...

    The Future of our sport

    I've been traveling to northern Wi for a good chunk of the last 40 years. Other than a small stretch when I had my other cabin in Wausaukee. When I was looking for our new place a couple years ago, I couldn't believe the changes. "Busy" does seem to fit the description. We used to spend a lot of...

    We rode from Boulder on trail 12 to 6 and went a little ways west toward Presque Isle early this morning and turned around and went back. We only had an hour before we checked out. Trails were nice but fading fast. Any roads were melted off. I think all things considered, they will be done today...

    The Future of our sport

    I have been snowmobiling for 40 years. It is true the sleds nowadays are so expensive. However, has anyone seen the price of UTV's? I can't believe it. That sport has been taking off for various reasons. Then add the poor weather situation. If a guy needs to pick a sport to spend money on, what...
