This is an indication of what is wrong with this country; we have Oat Milk ads and no Budweiser ads.

A solid 6 here in Huntley and still snowing

Just wondering, are we going to see a spike in new births mid-December because everyone is home from work and school and has nothing else to do? Or, are we going to see a decline because, lets face it, with social distancing being the new norm, we are all going to be afraid to touch each other?

Just some ramblings due to spare time here since we are all pretty much being told to not go to the office, work remotely, stay home, social distance, etc. So, here in urban Northern Illinois there is a massive run on bottled water. People are filling shopping carts with it to the point they...

Had a little run on supply here in Northern Illinois, so sent all the family members out in all directions to see what they could find. Well, we kind of forgot to communicate with each other as we were finding it and purchasing it, so are a little overstocked now. At last count, we have 514...

2 inches so far today in beautiful Huntley Illinois. Yeah, no yard work!! Good, I needed the time to finish my taxes.

Too much negativity around us in general. Let's see how long this thread can keep going with positive thoughts before it gets hijacked. I have a number in mind; Let's see if we can beat that. My $0.02 worth. I woke up today. If I hadn't, not so good of a day. Waking up was all it took to...

Guess I will be showing my age here, but what kind of halftime show was that? - - - Updated - - - And lame commercials first half. Can't we get a decent Doritos commercial?

Continuing to debate with some members on this site and expecting an intelligent conversation.

The end is near. 175 yesterday from Phillips to Musky Jacks to Fifield to Lugervile to Soo Lake and back to Phillips. Some truly great stuff, and absolutely horrid. Plowed for logging down to mud for mile sections. With this weeks forecast, probably toast, unless you trailer to trailheads...

52 miles in hour and 50 minutes this morning, and not hurrying. Scattered crappy areas, thin and icy but smooth near Boulder. Phenomenal near Arbor, mostly smooth, all white, saw 80+ several times. Saw 4 other sleds total. Great riding, sucks we have to go home. If they get the Mon/Tues...

Rating trails on a scale of 1 to 10 needs some improvement, so here are some random thoughts that came to me during the ride Saturday and were finalized with a couple adult beverages after the sleds were parked. FRONTIER DANCER - for those short plowed road sections Uuuuuuugly, bare and nasty...

This weekends trip got cancelled Friday night when trailer lights went out about 30 miles from home. Replaced trailer to truck plug at tollway oasis, and no luck, so hardwired trailer to truck. Still no luck also, so thought issue was in truck harness. (Forgot the tool kit, so that was all...

3 inches of surprise. On top of what we had, enough for a quick rip around the neighborhood with my daughter.

Thought I would post a few comments after a couple days riding in Illinois this weekend: 1. When UP trails are mogulled, they go on forever. When you hit a chisel plowed field, it usually is no more than a mile long. 2. Moguls on railroad grades form at random spacing. Chisel plowed...

4 more overnight in Huntley. That puts us at about 18 for the week. Beeeeautiful out there now.

That, was a Super Bowl!

Got back Friday from a four day backpack trip. Stayed Sunday night at Great Northern in Mercer, Monday night at Mariner North in Copper Harbor, Tuesday night at the Buckhorn near Munising, Wednesday night at Jasper Ridge Inn in Ishpeming and Thursday night back at Great Northern in Mercer. I...

When the weather gods decide to shuffle the calendar and give us April weather in February, make the best of it. Just got in from the first bonfire of the year with the family, which is something that wouldn't have happened if I was snowmobiling. Good memories, just a different kind!!

Anyone have any current info about this area? Going heer Feb 24th to 26th to visit a friend who has never snowmobiled, to get him out on the trails. Looking for info on trail conditions, places to stop, gas locations, and spots to find good food. Any help is much appreciated
