    What's It Gonna Be?

    Understood, it's been very frustrating with the availability issues. Looking forward to a venue that is reliable. I will continue to follow both sites temporarily, I think we have seen the writing on the wall for some time now. Just have been accustomed to things, time for change.

    What's It Gonna Be?

    I'm in as well & looking forward to it. As far as this site is concerned, from what I understood, or, at least, thought I understood about the ads on this site, were ads that John sold to businesses, not the Google Ads that now bombard the site. I am disappointed that ownership has not been...

    What's It Gonna Be?

    You have my interest. Care to enlighten as to the reason for this development. Not that we haven't seen issues of concern, just thought about if there is an issue of a clear exit of JD we should be appraised. Not against a new and improved venue, details please. We've been in no man's land for...

    New Arctic Cat deliveries

    The last Arctic Cat sneak peak that came to the UP was in 1999 with the 2000 (Millennium) models. I drove to Marquette for it & was glad I did, It was nice to see them in person rather than just from a brochure & throw a leg over all of the models. I picked the 2000 ZL600 at the time which was...

    Laurium Glacier Meltdown Contest 2026

    Your welcome. I hope the site continues to keep the memory of JD alive. He would have been in ecstasy with the winter we had in 2025-2026, the second snowiest on record.

    Laurium Glacier Meltdown Contest 2026

    I made another trip up to check on the glacier at 11:30 this morning as we had an 85 degree day yesterday & a quick shot of rain at 3 am this morning. I discovered a trace of it left which will undoubtedly be gone by the end of the day today due to our clear sunny skies with temps currently in...

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    A little bit of information I just stumbled across regarding Kawasaki. They apparently abruptly ended their snowmobile program in 1982 after their prototype sleds were being reviewed by Snowwest. They were to introduce the Invader 440 fan cooled when they decided to stop production. Here is an...

    Kawa-Bunga! A Project Sled for 27

    That thing must have flown! I like the custom velocity stacks coming through the hood. I can only assume that one was used as a drag sled in the day. Another example of a sled design that was ahead of it's time much like the Chaparral. Love it, thanks for the post.

    Big weekend coming

    We had 34 this morning, furnace actually kicked on. The ticks are in full force plus again. We've had them latching onto our dogs already, sure wish the cold would kill them, they've been an ongoing issue for the past few years & seem to be multiplying by the day.

    Laurium Glacier Meltdown Contest 2026

    I took a ride to check the progress on the Glacier this morning. I wanted to see what the rain did to it from Monday & Tuesday night. It's hanging on with overcast skies & temps today at 41 deg but it won't be much longer.

    Big weekend coming

    We'll be busy with graduation of our first granddaughter this week-end. Still waiting for weather to warm up as well, been real cool here. Our leaves are just now starting to open, it's been a slow start here.

    New Arctic Cat deliveries

    That is great news, now we have to contend with huge gas prices. Hopefully that changes soon, it is wreaking havoc on everything.

    Michigan Trail pass increase

    I remember when the trail permits first became a reality & they were $10.00. At that time, the trails were not well groomed but, we still persisted to push on. To go to Copper Harbor & back was close to 100 miles round trip & it was not smooth sailing at all and the sleds had very little...

    Our New Granddaughter

    Thank you. This is grandchild #9 for us, looking forward to watching her grow. Wish she was closer like our other grandkids, but, Watersmeet isn't too far from us.

    Our New Granddaughter

    I have been wanting to post this since April 30th, discussion board was down a few times & one distraction after the other kept me from it, then reformatting pictures to load was a bit of an issue. Nonetheless, our youngest daughter had her first born on April 30th. She wasn't suppose to have...
