    Your "Bucket List"...

    Never wait too long to fulfill bucket list ideas, of course it depends on finances and other situations. But, seen way too many folks work all their lives and once they retire they physically/medically just cannot do what’s on that list …or they can but at a dramatically less experience. I am 47...

    Travel through Nashville....

    Nashville has the confluence of poor planning and massive growth. Those two together do not play well together.

    I did not watch it but lets be real, the intended target audience isn't going to be posting on JohnDee snowmobile site.

    2 trips and around 700 miles. But, my winter is just now freeing up so hoping for several more trips.

    Gonna try an Oxygen helmet today

    I love mine. I took out the ear inserts, little snug on me…..I have big ears 😆….i do crack the visor a bit from time to time to cool off, which isn’t a big deal. The light on the back came in real handy last trip to the UP as the snow dust was real bad, nice to at least see a little light of the...

    Super Bowl???

    I wanted Washington/Bills but looking forward to the games anyways. The Bills really made some critical errors doing their tush push and getting shutdown 4 times in a row with that play...as they were averaging good yards on their runs...of course Kincaid could have made that tough catch in the...

    I use it all the time for snowmobile and side by side related activities escpecially following snowmobile clubs. Marketplace is also a great tool to utilize.

    Iron county opens

    It’s also due to Wisconsin having a much greater connectivity with their trails and a greater grooming capacity with more volunteers. I like riding the UP but having just one N/S trail in WUP with the offshoot trails being shutdown (13/Freida) is a major negative. Too many sled with too little...

    Super Bowl???

    Dont really mind on the NFC side but, like most, I want the Bills for the AFC.... I wouldn't be upset with Bills winning the SB this year.

    Secret water well in western UP near Greenland, MI?

    Yep, we filled up water barrels from there while I was staying at a friends off the grid cabin just south of the Rousseau. Used it for making coffee, dishes and drinking.

    California wildfires

    Well...look at Floroida where hurricanes hit quite consistenly and we just keep rebuilding and keep getting destroyed. Good luck getting flood insurance even when it was subisidized by taxpayers. All natural disasters have impacts to them and we (politicians, businesses, individuals) downplay...

    It starts again

    Sorry to hear this, would love for the local enforcement to catch and severly fine those individuals. Make the fines so high that people have to take it seriously. Maybe some community service with it also.

    Day after Xmas, who’s still going to the UP

    I used to love heading up between Christmas and New Years. The kids would ride the 4 wheelers on the lake, some ice fishing and a little sledding to the local bars to watch some football, hot chocolate and food. Great times and never had an issue. Sure its busy but that was some of the fun...

    Past membership challenge

    I rode with PD a good amount. He loved late night riding and we would get back to his place around 4-5 AM. He loved to stop at the highline norh of Mass and have a beer. No sleds out, quiet and great view of the sky....I actually became a big fan of that type of riding. The trails would be...

    Past membership challenge

    From the individuals I know that used to post but no longer do some got tired of the discussions, they do get repetitive, some found other platforms that suited their needs better and some only really came on here for John's weather forecasts. I don't post near as much cause I have my sleding...

    Your Pre-Season Checklist

    I usually do most of my work but this year I took it to a guy who is an excellent mechanic and does maintenance on the side. I told him to give me the works and check everything. After last season I am taking no chance on breaking down, season is too short and I am going every chance I can...
