Recent Web Site Outages
Some of our viewers may have noticed the web sites for WATVA and Trail Patrol were not accessible Saturday to Monday. So I thought I would give the low down on what happened. If you have no interest in the inner workings of the internet, you can stop here. Might I suggest this page instead: http://metobs.ssec.wisc.edu/aoss/cameras/ha ...May 15 -

ATV / UTV Program Differences
As we are gearing up to present the final UTV program in Madison, we have created a handout that explains the differences between an ATV and UTV. The photos on the handout were taken during the 2011 WATVA VIP Ride at the Embarrass River ATV Park in Tigerton WI, where a handful of the law makers that helped draft the UTV bill participated in riding ...Jan 30 -

In case you're not aware of what I am talking about, see the following images: Spoiler alert! That's the upcoming Trail Tales cover for winter 2011 which is bei ...Jan 20 -

It has a 127 horsepower fuel injected inline four, a four-speed automatic transmission with high and low range, a heated cab, and seats five. At 156” long and 66” wide, it’s 25” longer and 2” wider than the Kawasaki Teryx4. Did I mention it’s street legal? Technically, it doesn’t meet UTV definition and would be more accurate to c ...Jan 12 -
