I'm curious. It seems that one and two year old vipers can be had for relatively cheap dollars. They can and have been fitted with turbos and, in some cases, still comply for manufacturers warranties. How does such a sled compare to the new (read expensive) Sidewinder? Cost? Performance...

Is there any area to park a truck and trailer around rt 41 and trail 8 that allows access to trail 8?

Based out of ishpeming over last weekend. Went to big bay, Harvey, au train, Chatham, Lily lake, Gwinn, Marquette. Only bad trail was 417 but they were running dog sleds. It might have been the reason it was not groomed. All other trails were outstanding. I hop they get past the warm temps...

I have used a Garmin GPS and Red Pine Mapping maps for years and have been very satisfied with the product. Ryan has always made updates available for downloads and I found it quite easy to follow his instructions and get the maps on my GPS. I used the link on the John Dee site to try to get...

There is a news item today about two sisters that got stranded in a remote area of the UP and rescued by air lift. They survived for days on cheese puffs and girl scout cookies. Does anyone know where they were and why they were there?

It seems like we tend to go through expensive snowmobile clothing and end up with dated suits which are still usable, especially childrens' clothing. I remember what it was like when I bought suits, helmets, gloves and boots for my two girls and I can't imagine what it would be with today's...

I called Parkview Lodge yesterday to try to reserve for January and got a "closed until further notice" phone message. Is it true or just off-season?

A new cutoff trail is being proposed by the Hiawatha FPD which will connect 417 and 8 east of Rte 41 and Marquette. The FPD is seeking comments from potential users and the information and comment link can be found here...

Good morning John. Is it just me? Lately I hit the back button and my computer goes back two frames. In the regular group discussion it is not a problem because I can go up to the top of the postings and backtrack using the link sequence. I read your current journal this morning and every...

I saw signs last weekend on trail 8 between Gwinn and Marquette promoting the group riding lights where the lead sled displays a yellow light and the drag sled displays a green light. Does anyone have a link to more information?

I'm not going to bash the groomers, other riders, trails or the weather. I think I always loved snowmobiling because I get to see areas that are remote and beautiful. This last weekend I had the pleasure of riding trail 12 west from 109 to 3. Nothing out of the ordinary until you get past...

I see mention on this site about the good food at Camel Riders. Do you get there off of trail 41 (Haywire) or trail 7? Are they open for lunch? I have not found a website.

I was motorcycling in the UP this weekend and had great weather and a great time. While riding we noticed what looked like purple windsocks hanging from many trees. What are they?

We always talked about it and now we are going to do it. We are getting our group together and bringing the bikes to the UP. We will get to Ishpeming on Friday night, next weekend, and ride to Copper Harbor and back, with a few sidetrips, on Saturday. We will do a loop through Munising on...

We were doing a loop through Sidnaw last Sunday when one of our group lost an idler wheel. When we limped back to the gas station there were two other sleds broke; one skidoo lost its piston, the other skidoo guy was so POed he wasn't talking. Sidnaw is the worst place to break down. The...
