    Keweenaw maps/info

    Hi all. Can anyone point me where to find maps of Keweenaw CFR/corporate lands or from the likes of Nature Conservancy, etc. who own large tracts of land open to the public? Similar to forest service or state forest maps. I used to work for a large paper company in the U.P. that had maps of...

    Houghton and Keweenaw counties backcountry

    I have read of people like John boondocking in Houghton and Keweenaw counties but I am not finding any federal or state forest lands where there would be public land maps available. Is this because it is mostly private land like farms or smaller parcel county lands not well mapped? Any help...

    Keweenaw trail 3 vs. 17

    Plan on riding in the Keweenaw this weekend with my wife and daughter. Which would you say is usually better/less traveled - Trail 3 or 17? Which has better access to some "backcountry" or unplowed forest roads and where if I could ask? Thanks in advance! Rob

    Houghton/Hancock Feb. 23-25

    Visiting our daughter at MTU and taking her riding. Looking for a place in the H/H area reasonably close to a trail or spur, i.e. to avoid trailering or going down city streets for more than a couple of blocks. Not finding anything near a trail that I can tell. Any recommendations? Much...

    Houghton/Hancock Feb. 23-25

    Visiting our daughter at MTU and taking her riding. We are looking for a place for 3 adults in H/H area somewhat near trails so that we don't have to trailer or ride thru city streets to get to them. Not much luck so far via other traditional sources. Much appreciation. Rob

    Throttle extension

    Does anyone know where I can get a throttle extension (or a longer/fatter replacement throttle) for my wife's sled ('02 Ski-Doo MXZ 500)? Due to an old hand injury her thumb gets tired and sore after a half hour or so of riding. I've installed some after market ones on my ATVs and they work...

    Lake Superior ice

    Hi John. Where can we find pics of current lake ice cover or what can you tell us at the moment (1/29/14)? I ride mainly south of Munising and am worried the LES may disappear if not already. Would a "warm-up" into the 20s and some wind break the ice up? Thanks! Rob

    I have an '02 Grand Touring 500 liquid. While on our "last ride of the season" in the U.P. I noticed my wife had not headlights on the GT behind me. We stopped for a break and shut it off - then went to push the starter button (RER) and only got clicks as if the battery were dead. Might that...

    Trailers for Sleds or ATVs

    Hey all...anyone have success using a 2-place enclosed trailer for both sleds and ATVs? By that I mean sleds in winter and ATVs spring thru fall. Recommend particular brands, sizes and configurations? Any obstacles? Would assume a cover that is more "boxey" in shape would be necessary due to...

    Passenger grip problem

    I have a '99 Yamaha Venture and the passenger grips do not heat up very much anymore. I can feel only slight warmth from either grip with the switch in the High position. I am leaning towards replacing the 3-way toggle switch (High-Off-Low) because it will not stay in the low position but...
