Rumor has it that your going to have BIG competition in those fish departments this ice season Freddie!!!
There's a little word that most of us had drilled into us as children...RESPECT!! Goes a long way....unfortunatley, some didn't get that word drilled into them. Those are the ones that we have to clean up after to keep access areas open for OUR use. Seems as though that Mommy doesn't follow them around to pick up after them. If I find or see someone dis-respecting something that was given for OUR use...I'll be sure to drill them with the word RESPECT.Thanks to all who do their part to keep OUR accesses/environment clean. --KP
this says it all
wow good one stormy............. i will see you from 4 miles a way from the fish again. lol to you................... .....f- stick word to the wise. dont piss off certain people in the off season because later you will regret it...........
well here is my take on Lewis point I wouldn't blame them for closing it , where do I start , they tore down the caution tape and drove on the lawn and made a mess of the lawn and there was overnight camping and there is a sign that says no over night camping , I picked up lots of garbage and one morning I picked up some drug paraphernalia now it may not sound like a big deal ,but we are not the ones that have to fix things in the spring , but I'm only one trash picker there, I'm sure there were others , I only used it till I could run from the north shore to south with the sled , and there was a couple of times , the actual parking area was full so I left to find another access , August West is a little more in the know on the parking situation
I know choo choo somethings can't be fixed , it is a nice place to come out of lets hope it stays open
Ok I am curious about this Wilcraft. Has anyone seen this or heard of it. Its actually pretty cool as it can be used for every season for an outdoorsman. I heard that someone here just ordered one and was curious as to what they cost being I just dished out 7g's on a new wheeler which is a lot heavier that the Wilcraft. Any info would be great thanks
I just got mine a month ago, it's a pretty neat rig. It actually weighs just about the same as my Kawasaki 650, 620 lbs although it seems lighter, a friend and I carried it across the yard just to see if we could get it unstuck. The machine with a heavy duty tent is about 12.5K, plus shipping. I got mine in part because I live on the coast in the land of thin ice, but also because I make several trips to Oneida each year. My ATV seems to seek out pressure cracks and gas holes, I haven't been in one yet and hope to keep it that way. We tried it on 1" a week or so ago, it will stay on top until you hit a slightly thinner spot, and it easily crawls back out when it does break through. Based on the 1" test I would suggest that it is reasonable to use it on 2.5-3" of good black ice to account for the thin spots. If you're interested pictures are on the CT board under "Adventures of Calamity Bob", this was the first time the machine was on the ice. I defer to Green Thumb for the snow/slush experience on Oneida since I have none in the Wilcraft.
thanks August for the info I new you were around here somehere ,but putting in your factor has got me worried
Don't understand what that means...AW
