    Our trails opened up Friday at noon and close tomorrow, (Sunday) at 6am. There ya have it folks, the 2017-2018 season was a doozie. Highs in the upper 30's and sunny coming on Tues and Wed. We had about 4" on the ground Thursday before the big blizzard hit and totally pumbled us under another 5"...

    Southern WI sledding season

    It's looking a little bleak, but hopefully John and the weather guessers are right about next week's storm. Our trails were open in our "region" of Dane county for 4 days, but closed this morning at 6am. I managed to get two nights of grooming in so last night the trails should have been pretty...

    Lodging in the Wausau WI area

    Can anyone recommend a couple places to stay around Wausau? Heading to Hurley on the bike in a few weeks and Wausau looks like a reasonable stop for the first night. We'd probably be going up thru Abbotsford, so anywhere in that general 25 mile radius/area would be fine. I'd prefer to support a...

    Windows 10

    Did anyone else do the download? I put it on my laptop last week. I din't see any benifits to it at all, at least not for what I use my machine for. Some stuff is moved around but not sure it's worth all the hype

    Cellular Providers.....ugh..crooks!

    I am so sick of paying nearly $200/month for two smart phones. We have US Cellular now because they seem to offer the best coverage. (South Central WI) I wonder if people are branching off toward the "sub providers" that Walmart and Target offer. Maybe it's time to go back to the old school cell...

    Vacation options

    First off, we're on a budget....Would you rather take several smaller, closer, cheaper vacations, or save every cent you can and blow it all in a week in Mexico? We thought about going to Mexico in 2016 for her birthday and our anniversary, but we'd have to save all of our "fun money" for about...

    Birds

    Yeah yeah, I know...this is a sledding site. But does anyone else watch/feed birds? I ask because today I peek outside at the feeders and they're loaded up with blue jays. I haven't seen a single blue jay since spring. Something changed overnight!! Gotta love fall in WI.

    DNR announces "Sled Safety Week"

    Well, considering there is no rideable snow in half of the state, this "event" should wind up being a big success for the almighty DNR of WI. http://www.wkow.com/story/24492503/2014/01/19/wi-dnr-be-safe-during-snowmobile-week Ride safe if you have anything (snow that is) to ride on!
