Where would you retire and what is holding you back? Small cabin and large piece of property in Land O' Lakes, WI and then home on the Grand River in Grand Haven MI. Money is what is holding me back:) In searching for properties with over 20 acres this one came up...

Guess it might help out some of the businesses

Thought this kinda painted a good picture of what's going on with small towns across the UP. If only these towns could thrive again and draw more people in.

One would be taking off from Land O’ Lakes Gateway Lodge and knowing we were going to get hammered with snow that day. We decided to head east along the railroad grade on trail 2, and it was grey, dark and started dumping, could hear the flakes hitting our shields as we’re in a tunnel of snow...

Anyone know of a good place to find vintage snowmobiling pics or videos. I love seeing how it was back in the day.

What keeps you in the sport or keeps you coming back to a particular area??

Anyone pickup the habit or have seen any sledders rolling one up on the side of the trail? Anyone notice people driving less than 20MPH on railroad grade?

Sad and tragic day. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/woman-known-apos-bikini-climber-021502592.html

Some dedicated riders, but sketchy river ice! I think i'd still ride it though. You? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjSfYlQ2QIw

Was just reading that story about the accident on Lake Gogebic and was reminded of the time I got lost on that lake for what seemed like hours. Late at night and snowing and couldn't make out the shoreline. Anyone get turned around or split off from the group and what happened exactly?

Most and least amount of many days do you typically take off work to go sleddin and what day do you arrive on? I think the most was 9 days over a New Years and I've driven 800 miles round trip to sled for a couple days.

Anyone here old enough to remember this joint? My folks and grandparents do and was told it was the place to be. I just recall seeing a postcard at the Gateway Lodge with this odd character named Charlie. He must have spent thousands of hours building that place...

Some Gogebic watering holes mentioned in these articles. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/06/travel/michigan-upper-peninsula-beer.html?_r=0 http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2012/05/bar_hopping_in_michigans_upper.html

What have been the major changes to the trail systems in the U.P or Northern WI? as far as trails being added or closed off in the last few decades. From what I've been told back in 60's and 70's there were virtually none and people rarely went more than a town or 2 over and mainly used fire...

anyone run out of gas? Had a friend run out of gas about 20 feet from the pump at the Watersmeet station. He actually ran out about 3 miles prior to that but found out he could keep it running using full choke.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/yukon-yamaha-court-battle-1.3870165 Nice to see this guy get his money back. Although I bet he lost a lot of time fighting this.

Yes! A big fan of Optimum No Rinse Wax. A new way of washing that lives up to the hype. Wish I had this years ago, would have saved me countless hours and water. 3 capfuls in a hand pump garden sprayer with distilled water and can wash a truck in under 10min. Hardly ever beak out the hose...

I'm finding these synthetic mid-layers rank-up fairly quick and with these week long trips it's becoming an issue. Anyone use a poly base with wool blend mid and then maybe a fleece or pile when it's drops below 0? I've read these wool blends don't take on the rank so easily. I've also read...

I'm slowing working towards to be idea of buying land in the Northwoods for recreation use now and then hopefully to retire at some point. Would you know the average cost per acre and the typical tax for land with public road access and electric? I'd be looking to stay in and around the...
