Attendance this year is like next to none.  All of the dedicated parking lots are empty, and all of the pop up parking areas are also empty.  I'd say the event organizers totally fucked the duck this year.  They didn't even approach the city counsel until sometime in May.  Speaking of the duck, they didn't even put it in the water this year.

Were they taking lessons from the Duluth planning committee???😬😬

Be VERY careful with mickey mouse setups for connecting a generator. You can get a decent transfer switch installed for about $5 - 600. 

 

My son-in-law, nephew and brother-in-law are lineman with the local electric utility. I would hate to see one of them get killed on the job because someone in the house flipped the wrong switch. 

I realize the risks involved.

I have step by step instructions for the wife on how to do the transfer.

Now whether she follows them or not is a whole another situation.

For my place, I decided to go with a portable unit.

I disconnect the main breaker in the house and back feed from my garage.

Only the well pump is 220 volts in the house otherwise everything else is 120 volts.

I installed a 11,000 KW generac in my dads place 6 years ago.

Came with a 200 amp transfer switch.

Very easy to install and works great.

When the power goes out, he has power again within 30 seconds.

As long as he has propane, he has power.

That Super Stinger right next to it was also a very fast sled.

CCW 400 reed valve.

Easily do 70 MPH, My neighbor bought one brand new when they first came out.

A little story on the old Trail A Sled.

The big wigs from Scorpion got word of the sled my dad had and he ended up getting a free Scorpion Mach 1 sled for from them.( which was the biggest POS that my dad ever owned)

We got a tour of the factory in Crosby Mn. and got the sled right off the assembly line.

There was an article from Snow Goer magazine  and I'm in one of the pictures.

I was around 8 or 9 years old at the time.

The last I heard is that the sled is in the Crosby fire museum but that was many years ago.

My dad told me that if I could start it (8 HP Kholer) I could drive it. He didn't realized that I was determined to drive it.

It didn't take me long to figure out how to start it.

Back then, I thought I was king shit and rode the crap out of that sled.

That picture is of my two sisters and me up at our cabin north of Duluth Mn.

I'm in the middle.

Sure wish we still had these two.

Trying to get the Yukon open for business as soon as we can.
Still a huge mess where the Greenwood fire went through.
There was a logging company that WAS supposed to clean it up for us being as he is logging in that area but he didn't so we have to do it the old fashion way.
Two of us spent the whole day yesterday ( and 3 tanks or gas in the chainsaw ) cutting it all up so the groomer can push it out of the way.
We are still trying to get it done before this weekend but with the cold temps. coming in, it probably not going to get done until next week.
There are still a few spots in the swamps that are not frozen yet and no way to by pass them. With the cold temps this week, they should freeze up.
Fingers crossed.

Other club members are working on the southern part of the trail but last night a track broke on the groomer so they are doing a rescue mission today.

Someone wanted $5,000.00 for an 02 Polaris 500 Classic.

Someone is on some serious drugs.

I don't know but I got 110 miles on Thursday including about 3 hours of trail work.

Got some trail work done the last two days on the northern part of the Yukon trail.

Lots of trees down especially in the Greenwood burn area.

They will be logging in that area all winter and using part of the Yukon trail so please be careful.

The swamps are freezing up nicely.

Will be up there next weekend to get some more trees cut.

Trail is officially open but far from being nice. We will get it in good shape as soon as possible.

S

He was. He originally bought the business from Emerson Stahl

He then moved into Hermantown for a while than went to on line sales only from his house.

That's the rumors that I've heard.

Last time I bought anything from him was when he was in Hermantown.

Looks like skee is out of business.

Skee was great back in the day.

Now. I don't know.

He took over the business from his dad and had a shop in Hermantown for a while then after that to on line sales only.

He was always honest and great to work with then so I don't see no reason to deal with him now.

The fire has now crossed the Yukon Trail.

Their next fire break to try to stop in is the Stony River road.

Lets hope it works.
