Last time I went to the dragstrip (in Palm Beach, FL), a guy ran a Ski-doo in the 1/4 mile. He even did a huge burnout. LOL... until he ran a 10.34. It was quite a show for the Floridians, they had no clue how fast those things are. My friend just got his new one, zero to 60 in about 3 seconds. Used to live in WI and go sledding with friends, that's about the only thing I miss. Wish I could join you, but it's a bit too far.

Hey
The plan is. Just a few miles west of Munising. It 3 hours from Green Bay or about 6-6.5 hours from Chicago.
The cabin is very luxurious. Trails are right there. The best sledding in the midwest acourding to the magazines. Me too.

Any takers?

i can vouch for the trails. the counties maintain them better than the roads. you can go for a 100 plus miles without crossing roads. the only problem is some of the drunken lunatics you inevitably find on any snowmobile trail system. the upper peninsula is far more civilized than the lower however.

Have fun up in snow country. The UP is supposed to get dumped on today/tomorrow, so this weekend should have some fresh stuff to play in.

I can't do it this weekend - prior plans.

St. Patty's Day is next weekend so I can't make it. I've got several prior engagements set-up already.

Most of them include drinking heavily!
