    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 ...

    Alright, so some people have indeed noticed the little teaser I put on the web site that says something about TrailCon. If you did catch it, you would also have seen it in the latest Trail Tales as well as being talked about at the WATVA annual meeting. So, what is TrailCon? TrailCon, short for Trail Conference, is a conference and show dedicated ...

    We are starting to see them pop up in advertising, magazines and textbooks. In fact, WATVA has been using them for more than a year now on some of our hand outs and magazine Trail Tales. 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 ...

    Cloud based something or other... and you don't even have wireless? No worries! If you have ever watched an amazon commercial advertising their "cloud" you might be scratching your head as to what that has anything to do with books. Ha.

    In this day and age, when people post things to the internet, some tend to forget how easy it is to share the said published whatever. Think about that. What I mean by the above statement is the internet is often overlooked as a small part of the lives.

    This was our first ride in the Hiawatha National Forest during the summer of 2010.  We enjoyed ourselves so much that I immediately began planning a follow-up ride in 2011.  There are so many riding opportunities in this general area that I could ride here regularly without tiring, and I plan to do just that! In Michigan’s Uppe ...

    Always on the prowl for a nearby riding destination that offers something different, Drummond Island seemed like just the place.  I had seen numerous magazine highlights of Jeep-type events there prior to realizing it was a six hour drive from Green Bay, close enough for this dream to become reality.&n ...

    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 ...

    Honda Rincon ATVs have a reputation for abnormal knocking/rattling noises from the upper engine.  Resolution ranges from “do nothing it's normal" to complicated theories involving the relationship between ignition timing and engine speed.I spent hours on the internet reading about alleged causes without finding any answers about why it happens ...
