Today for my brothers birthday we took a day off riding, jumped in the truck and headed up to Eagle River and St Germain WI to tour the World Snowmobile HQ museum and the Snowmobile Hall of Fame.

The Snowmobile Hall of Fame was technically closed today but Jamie was kind enough to allow us to come after contacting her.  We were also allowed special access to the upstairs and saw a snowmobile being prepared for the weekend that very few eyes have ever seen.  

If you are ever in the area I can't recommend enough going to both during their normal operating hours any time of the year.  It was a special day for both of us and I went crazy with the phone snapping pictures. 

Enjoy, and make the journey.

My good friend owns that Arctic cat El Tigre 5000 it's been on loan to them for years along with some other sleds.

C2C this is the sled I was talking about owned by Kurt P. dam look at those mirrors

Thanks for sharing.  I"ll take the Rupp 800 Magnum and the Arctic Cat King Cat please!      Brings back some memories. Between my brother and I we've had a coupld of those sleds over the years.

 

Are you sure you took enough pics? 

I wonder how many Merc Kitty Kats were painted up like that?  Raced a friend of my dads sled when I was younger…

Did you get a chance to ask them why they won’t put Lanny Benoit in the hall of fame? Besides him not being from the Midwest

Wife and I stopped in Eagle River for a hour or so on our way up north.  Very cool place to those of you that haven't been there.
