Me too

I lived in Phelps for 16 years and the biggest knock on that area riding east was little to no amenities from Phelps to Spread Eagle good luck finding a hotel , gas or a place to eat so little to no traffic what part of NE WI are you referencing that has all these bars and traffic I would like...

The snowmobile lake trail is picturesque as well.

Smart money buys on the Cisco Chain imo still have access to WI Northwoods restaurants and big box stores in Ironwood and a lot less people. I bought in Phelps on Spectacle Lake in 2004 while prices were sane 17 miles NE of ER so people need a reason to come there in summer and winter so pretty...

Do yourself a favor and purchase a Norco 10 genius and will answer every battery problem you have. Best $100 you can spend on a battery charger.

I hear ya Jim take away my local trails and that’s the final nail in the coffin for me. My current club does the best they can but I’m 79 now not much I can still do to maintain trails. I’m sure I’m the oldest member that I’ve seen that shows for meetings and I didn’t attend the last 2 meetings...

Started fine before I left definitely checked. Bad luck caught up to me in 15 below. 👎

Let me throw a knuckle ball at you. How about a restoring a Blade? I would love to hear your comments about the engineering of that puppy. I didn’t get into sleds until the early 90s so difficult for me to relate to your antiques but I do admire your abilities to give oldies new life. 👍

Did you like the scratchers? Did they work for you?I like mine have to be prepared now days for all conditions.

Boy oh boy Idk? Vilas and Oneida are closed and looking at the forecast combined with mid March I really wonder if these counties will open no matter how much snow falls. I think the biggest challenge to opening is heavy wet snow and gusts to 40-50 mph winds bringing down trees on all trails...

It’s time to go south if you can FL was my fav also tried Jamaica Ya Mon! Solar angles too high now for big snow just going to melt into a wet iceberg with water holes. I don’t know if Vilas has interest or funds to groom no matter how much snow they get probably stay closed barrels are off...

You just saw how fast warm temps and solar angles shut down the trails. Big snow from now thru April just slows down northern Spring. Things that have to be done in above freezing temps are delayed ,the flowers don’t grow and neither does the grass the piers need to be put in but can’t with ice...

Yep many that visit have no idea what it’s like to deal with snow removal on a daily bases. I had plenty in Phelps and cleared 3 decks a porch and a front walk to get to the car and my sled. It is a lot of work and at the end of the season things get smaller just nowhere to put the snow. I know...

Same here left for FL as soon as my taxes were filed early April late March stayed as late as mid May and still cold when we got back. It was fun to watch Spring develop as we drove south. Once I was getting on a trolley in St Augustine and a buddy called me said hey Pete we just got 2 feet of...

Then there was the Indian dude eating breakfast on the site back when John was here. JD was frustrated with him but finally eradicated him. Lol that was just a pest compared to current shut down lock ups.

Going to get difficult now roaded trails burn thru quickly. A few times I left in morning had to zig zag on roads to get home from trails next day locked in.

That’s good same as I did worked with the contractor did what I could extra pair of hands often worked after they left for the day.

What’s your objective? If your on a lake with ice flows bubbler won’t to anything anyway to protect your pier. Thin ice and a light wind will mow your pier down like a match stick. Power of moving ice up north is unreal. They had year round steel piling piers get bent like a paper clips on Lake...

Don’t overdo it you have plenty of time to giter done. 👍

Participation is going to drop like a rock soon due to Spring either the site self corrects with less traffic or members will drift away as seasonal interests change and difficulty getting on the site just makes it more difficult to stay in touch.
