Absolutely scorching weather accompanied us throughout Musky Fest weekend — I noticed some people appeared to really enjoy baking in the intense heat as they wandered through the festival. Me? Oh no way — I like it much colder. In fact, snowmobiling has been on my mind over the past few days! I prefer to see those magical icy flakes swirling through the air instead of pine pollen and cottonwood fluff.

Every year in June, snowmobile manufacturers, enthusiasts, and representatives from many organizations around the world meet to celebrate and discuss the sport of snowmobiling. kAmx$r :D 9@DE65 3J 5:776C6?E 6?E:E:6D 6249 J62C — :?

Well, I’m back after taking a couple weeks’ break from writing my column! An intense rush of real estate activity and personal obligations left me no time to squeeze in anything but that, and admittedly the break was a relief. This past Sunday, I took up Gene Richardson’s offer to help me install some whip lights on my Wildcat that were graciously gifted to me by a riding friend, Drew Anderson, which prompted this week’s article. kAm(9:A =:89ED 2C6 2 8C62E D276EJ 762EFC6[ 6DA64:2==J H96?

Mother’s Day weekend greeted us with a beautiful, cooler and sunny Saturday. Perfect weather for a short ride after work before the weekend’s festivities began. The entire northern region of the state is under extremely high fire danger, due to the dry, windy conditions, so that was a concern as I headed out on my Wildcat Saturday afternoon. I met up with a couple that I sold a home to recently- motorsports enthusiasts who bought their retirement home right on the trail system.

On Thursday May 1, 2025, most our county’s ATV trails opened for use — this includes all trails in the Sawyer County Forest, as well as in the Chequamegon Forest. As of now, everything is open except for trails in the Flambeau River State Forest in the SE corner of the county — which will open to ATV use on May 15th, and a segment of Trail 31 in the Birchwood area, north of the Tuscobia Trail, that opens over Memorial Day Weekend.
