    Vilas County

    Glad there was no damage as those ice rides can be scary. Been tip-toeing down our drive the last couple days and just got back from sanding it with the ATV and that slid down a ways a couple times until I got the sand down (should have known better, as this year I did not put on the v-bar...

    Oneida County 2-24-25

    I agree with Hermie 100% on what he said as well as the others and can also understand your position as sometimes we all need to step back and refocus, but hopefully you can still be here in some form and we would also be willing to grab a saw and help if possible. I to remember the XLT as that...

    Vilas County

    From a distance they looked all white, but we only got about an inch and it was very wind blown. So under that light snowcover was all the brown ice and dirt spots from the preceding day, although everything did freeze back up, so don't know what there really was to groom. Will find out status...

    Surprisely I saw more sleds in Conover than Lando yesterday and the straight grade east of 45 & north of K has had that section closed for approx a week now.

    Vilas County

    Zones are a topic of issue every year up here and for some reason everyone can not get on the same page. If I understand correctly when Vilas opened up there was at least one club that did not want to open which is fine for them as it would have been best for them, but us at the top with the...

    Vilas County

    Problem I noticed is all the brown areas are absorbing more of the sun, thus the trail ice base is getting hit harder than the packed white areas (not much of the white around anyway)

    Manitowish Waters Sno Skeeters 2/15 winter rendezvous

    Hard to judge year by year as the sleds go way out on the lake and this year I heard there was 500+ sleds by the bait shop , but it did seem like more than ever. As White dust mention, traffic is crazy and is the reason I drive there now not to mention being sore from working it all day made...

    Manitowish Waters Sno Skeeters 2/15 winter rendezvous

    How was the event? Hopefully some of the Bent's traffic got over your way.

    Watersmeet area?

    I saw how beat the trail was east out of Bents was after the event, so I wonder how it was heading north out of the chain at the Cisco bar as that is the only trail. I hope the groomer hit the trail east after the event to fix some of major moguls, but traffic was still heavy.

    Bents camp land o lakes radar run

    4pm for the bikini run, which I believe we are at $1000 split amongst the top three. Registration at 9, runs at 10-ish (always say that as startup usually takes a bit). I will be on the line working as been the case for almost every year. New technology has been added for viewing times, hope it...

    The annual 24-25 how many miles thread!

    Only 100mi in two small rides as work and commitments have been getting in the way. Which is a bummer as a trail crosses the lot at my work and I see sleds all day/all week and believe me it is hard to focus on work sometimes while all that is happening outside. Although a cool thing happened...

    NOT an April fools joke!

    Kind of crazy as I had a disagreement with the wife as she mentioned 3-5 yet on the radio (Eagle River station) all day at work I heard rain changing to light snow all day UNTIL the ride home it was changed to 3-5. Mud month has turn in mud months up here in that we are having a lot of...

    Retirement Scenario

    That's what we did fur the most part, but we used the house in IL to secure loans to first buy the property up here and build basically a 6 car garage that we used to keep all the " equipment " and sometimes camped out in but we were lucky to have friends nearby that we always stayed with. Then...

    VOTE! Best Burgers in Wisconsin

    Funny thing there is a sign on the door that states they open at 4 and I have been there at 4 often and people are already inside. We go there practically every Wed although I'm kind of partial to the fries as the amount of places for homemade fries is limited. I have to agree Wooden Nickel is...

    Junker Sled Weekend - Three Lakes 2/24 is still on

    Good to hear, I was hoping this one would not be added to the cancelled list as it will be one of my first Saturdays off since last May that I could do something for myself.

    Oneida/Lincoln county update 1-21-24

    Not related to Oneida or Lincoln, but we have been seeing more and more sled tracks around Lando and not talking about the typical MI access in town, but rather west of town which is concerning, hopefully this does not start to bring up issues. The BP in town has had many trucks/trailers parked...
