Check out the video (experimental!)
Our Snow Train trip had been rescheduled to February due to a lack of snow on the trails we would be riding. Unfortunately, that resulted in a much smaller group than we had originally planned on when it was scheduled for January, and the folks that did not make it for this trip were missed. This was the first time that I rode a saddlebag trip, and I learned a lot from this experience. I had been worried that I woul

Gord, Don, Paul, Joe and Ryan all made it to my house by 5:30am Wednesday morning, which was a little later than they expected due to border issues, and we were able to hook up my trailer and get on the road by 6:00am. I don't think Rick really believed me when I told him that the group from Canada would be over between 5 and 5:30, but he was up and ready to go anyhow.

We are finished camping for the year at our favorite campground, Barnes Park.
We brought our trailer up in early July and got a decent spot pretty close to the lake. Last year we had a better spot, in fact, I think the spot we had last year is the nicest spot in the park. The site worked well though, and we ended up keeping it there for almost 7 weeks in all.
The first weekend, since&nb

The weather did not look promising on the morning that we were to head up to the Michigan Upper Peninsula. Rain and 40 degree temperatures had us nervous but when we got on the road at about noon, there were flurries flying and the situation was improving.
After a plateful of Chicken wings and a couple of Blue Moon's from Boomer's, we got on 75 and it became apparent that this was going to be a slow ride northward. Conditions were getting worse for driving, but better and better for snowmobiling. W
