No. I'm not moving. I have four more years of work. My favorite crooks, the Illinois Tollway system, has hit us with a nice increase. You may or may not know that passenger vehicles towing a single or double axle trailer pay the rate of a "Medium" sized truck. I live near Ohare airport. For...

Was driving home today past the BP station on Hwy 8 near Hwy T and the building was on fire and badly damaged. Did you hear?

Found in my uncle's basement.

Seems like a month since a good snowfall in the Wisconsin Northwoods, with little in sight. I really don't know how the groomers do it with the little they have. Praying for snow.

How hard is it to get that hideous wallpaper off? Is there regular drywall under it?

Does it dead end there? Is there an east west connection to trail 3? Thanks

Was January 26th. I'm sure the groomers are doing the best with what they have, but we need snow.

I just bought a 2017 TC167 trailer that is like new. Beautiful. What is everyones' experience with driving up the ramp door? Any carbide/catching issues? Does the door "take a hit?" Caliber makes those really nice hinged edge guards, but at some point the spending has to be curtailed.

As you can probably imagine, here in the Chicagoland area we lock everything. If we don't lock something, it's because nothing is inside to steal and we would rather the bad guys just look inside without tearing apart our stuff. I recently upgraded from a clamshell trailer to a hybrid Triton...

I'm kind of surprised that grooming is still done by volunteers. How much longer do you think that is going to work? Aren't groomers paid up in Michigan? If so, what is the rate? I think it's very hard to know the true economic impact to Wisconsin, but let me tell you this, when I drive up and...

Just got back from three days of riding the entire area. It snowed pretty much every day we we there at some point. They have plenty of snow, and the groomers are keeping it very nice. Pine Stump Junction was hopping--neat place.

So I rode around Hurley/Ironwood/Mercer last weekend and I couldn't help but notice how many bars, restaurants, hotels, and other businesses are closed or for sale. Some of the places I stopped were run by people that were too old to be working so hard. I also picked up a Realty paper at the gas...

Radar sure looks like a good storm up in Wisconsin. Any news?

I have a screenshot of the article from the paper, and I will email it to anyone who can post it. The guy's name is Marty Moylan and he is from my hometown of Des Plaines! Finally some good news from this state!

How much vacation time do you guys get and what percentage do you use for sledding? I get approximately 3 1/2 weeks and I really only spend a week and a couple of days on sledding. New years day and President's day off help. I use most of the rest on fishing.

How do we know when marked lake trails are no longer safe?

Don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but a certain Chicago forecaster is predicting much warmer temperatures for the second half of February. If you're like me and have a President's day trip in mind, you might want to get out before that weekend. If this post is against the rules, I...

Come on. It HAD to snow somewhere.

My friend and I rode close to 400 miles on Friday and Saturday all over Iron County, Wisconsin and some of Ashland County. We passed a total of about 30 sleds on the trails. Does anybody ride these things? There were, of course, plenty of people at all the bars, and lots of sleds staying at the...

John, do weather forecasters go back and check their forecasts to see how accurate they were? Like say, the temperature and snowfall I predicted in a certain city--how accurate was I five days ago, three days ago, and yesterday? I would swear that a certain forecaster on Fox 32 Chicago in the...
