    What year did you sign-up on the John's Site?

    Joined in 2009. Found the website after a warmup where the Northern WI conditions went to crap but saw on JD that the UP was still good. Trailered to Ontonagon & sure enough we had good riding. Now I check in daily but don't post all that much.

    The John Dee Memorial Award

    John definitely had a major impact on the snowmobiling community & so many people's lives in general. He is definitely missed.

    woodys navigator/dooly opinions

    I don't mind the tracking/darting on groomed trails but my wife doesn't like it so a few years ago we started running a Stud Boy Deuce on her left ski with a Stud Boy Shaper on the right. She said that works well.

    A few big changes... Look at what followed me home... and where it will be staying...

    Congrats! That is a nice setup there. My dream for several years has been to build a shop home (a.k.a. shome or shouse).

    It’s now the BIG 18!

    I must be "old school" because I still think getting a $150K education for free (i.e. scholarship) is indirectly getting paid. I didn't like NIL when people were talking about the concept years ago. I really don't like the way it has turned out thus far. And I really hate how players can...

    Hay Days

    Wow, what a coincidence. We are both from Iowa & I came down with Shingles app. 2 weeks ago. I went into Urgent Care & they gave me a prescription. Not sure if you already did that but you might give it a try. And I just heard about someone else from WI that came down with Shingles recently...

    What are you most excited for?

    Tend to agree with Indy. Lots of brand-new or almost new stuff to try out this year which is always exciting. Before last winter I downsized trailers to an almost new Mission Crossover trailer. Never got to see how it towed last year as all our UP trips got cancelled. I also bought a...

    Happy Birthday kip

    Happy B-Day Kip! I still remember the one year my Dad bought u a cake but he was off by at least a week on the date. It was the thought that counts.

    1-19-24 New snow

    Wife & I took off last 2 afternoons from work & I must admit it is the best riding I have seen in a long time here in IA. Gonna ride some more this weekend. Gotta love it! No trailering. Just leave straight from house.

    You are correct Indy. Not last year but the year before we got quite a bit of snow for Iowa standards. Last year Minnesota got hammered pretty good. When we get snow you have to get out & ride because like IOWASLEDDER said the trails will be garbage quickly due to traffic & many times warm...

    Put on a few miles riding here in Iowa yesterday afternoon/evening. I wish they wouldn't plow everything down so darn much but once you got outside of town the trails were pretty nice. Rode over to Sutliff & back from Ely. Shueyville is maybe 5-6 miles by sled for me. Small world. Who would...

    Yup, your stats are spot on. I am located in Ely just north of you. The wind is blowing so hard I can hardly see the house across the street.

    Favorite stops from back in the day..

    Many years ago while riding in Northern WI we took a "wrong turn" & ended up @ Bent's Camp outside Lando. What a cool place on the water. Just don't make it down there much since we mostly ride the UP these days.

    If Your Dog Could Talk...

    That really hits home as we got a silver lab just over a year ago. We had taken a break for a few years after losing our last yellow lab. They sure are loyal companions no matter what the circumstances are.
