That ride up to copper harbor is awesome! Looking over that town from The ridge is like something out of a movie, and the ride out to the point is priceless
In March of 23 I rode the Keweenaw peninsula for 2 days simular routes and places you did. What a spectacular place! The trail out to the end of the peninsula was not groomed for the last few mile but once we got there it was worth it. We are planning to go again this year.
Looks like you had a great time and saw a lot of Michigan ! Very cool seeing the lighthouse and that bridge that uses a lift so boats and small ships can pass underneath. 👍
I have a niece who lives near Saginaw MI. I have circumnavigated Lake Michigan 7 times in my life. I would travel south from FdL WI south and go thru Chicago around 03:00 CT and get up to Saginaw before 09:00 ET. On our way home, we go the northern route, crossing the Mighty Mac bridge, cutting across the UP west and dropping down eastern WI thru Green Bay. It's about the same distance, but it can take several more hours. It is a nice scenic drive though.
Looks like a great trip. My grandparents lived in Ishpeming when I was young. I grew up about 60 miles from there in Iron County. Great area for doing just about anything outdoors.
Loving your sled videos! I bought a sled at Pat's Motorsports in Greenland a few years ago. I live in the U.P. (Iron River) and have friends that are farmers in Ohio (Farmersville, near Dayton) that come up to go sledding with us every Winter as well.
You have to get set up to back pack instead of trailering. Great trails from Marquette to Houghton. Great trails over to lake of the clouds and so on. Not enough time is the biggest thing!!
We usually start in Newberry and head west to watersmeet. ride out of there for a couple days and then head up to Baraga. Then we ride out of there for a few days.
Excellent video once again. I love these snowmobile trips. This was cool as I have been to all those places many times when I was younger since I live in this state, but haven't been to the UP in years now.
This video seems like it is not going to end. I don't know how you do it. Thanks for sharing. Happy subscriber 😊! I made it to the end. I think I was like # 7 or 8.
Great video. Although I have only been sledding 4 or 5 weekends a few years ago in Thompsonville and Boyne Mountain, MI areas, I enjoyed those trips immensely. Something I noticed in your video is the lack of hand signals to indicate the number of sleds behind you. Is that not a thing anymore? Keep up the terrific videos. I did see some hand signals by 2 sledders just before you guys got to Lake of the Clouds. The more I watch the more I like your camera work, commentary and music. Very well done. Some more random shots of your speedometer would be OK also.
Thanks, not a lot of people do the hand signals anymore and personally I think it’s better to keep both hands on the handlebars and just pay attention.
I always thought so myself but that was what we were told to do by the sled rental. Yes. Rental. I live just north of Cincinnati and a sled is useless down here. Little snow and no trails.@@farmhandmike
I enjoyed this video. I have been considering a 2024 Arctic Cat. One was the ZR 7000 (Four Stroke, Orange Hood) and one was the ZR 8000 (Two Stroke, Green Hood). Have you gotten any feedback from anyone on the ZR 7000? The dealer is telling me with the Yamaha engine it will go 20K between overhauls and has impressive fuel mileage. But no recoil starter. It looks like you're running an 850 two stroke.
I don't know anyone with the ZR7000 so I can't say but I'm sure they are awesome. I just got a new Catalyst for this year. Hope to get a video of it soon.
@@farmhandmike I saw a Catalyst at the dealership. They are still developing the Catalyst model line and maintaining the ZR line for at least one more year (ostensibly to fulfill Yamaha contracts). The ZR appears on the heavy side, I have been unable to find published weights for any of the sleds. I suspect weight reduction was an engineering goal for the Catalyst. Look forward to the video!!!
No disrespect whatsoever but what the heck did you do for a living, these trips and snowmobile’s and everything it takes time and money just curious you don’t have to answer. Thanks for all the great videos specially from up north snowmobiling I used to go with my brothers all the time.
not smart letting that run in that tiny trailer like that even with the door open youll walk in there one day and drop dead you couldve easily rolled it out first

Best snowmobile content on TH-cam. Sure wish you could do more. It’s nice not being stuck watching mountain videos for once
Yeah right . to me. I would rather ride in Cadillac Michigan it is only
A two hour and three minute drive for me. Haha
I must say, you do a really good job of riding on the right side of the trail

Mike sometime you have to due that hill top of copper harbor in the middle of summer at sunset breath taking
I will be staying at the Ramada you past by the bridge beginning of March, so cool to see it on your video
Great video, always love going to the UP!
Nice snowmobiling trip😉👍 that looked like fun👍👍

rough here in the sault im from pelkie though and bet it was great riding out there

Thanks,
We just got snow up here on the 7th of January. My fiancé and I went on a snowshoe trip and I wish we had a snowmobile.
Nice ❤
Was that Brockway Mountain Drive over looking Copper Harbor? Great views of Lake Superior: Salt and Shark Free!

Thanks for subbing! And watching. Long video but covered a lot of ground.
You should do an airtractor video next season! Thanks
Brav~you made great upload. talk to you soon. 😯
I think those steps at lake of the clouds are always boarded off in the winter you should be able to walk from the ramp side
Nice! 👍
Living the life

That looks cold at theLlake Superior
the sped up part sounds a cat going mad lol
You should do a video on that little massey Ferguson tractor.
I thought u can access the trail from the holiday inn parking lot ?
Oi 👍👍👍👍👍✌️

The Yamaha 4 strokes @ 40k suggested valve adjustment. I never heard of any needing an overhaul. I’ve heard of some running great over 80k.
I live in ontonagon and the snowmobile shop is were my friend lives
The fast forward sounds like screaming 😂😂😂
You didn't fancy a hike up Castle Rock then not that I'd blame you.
is there any off trail riding or back country riding?
Michigan has some off trail riding in places but nothing like out west.
What parking lot was it? I’m in Marquette now and having a hard time finding trails to ride to and access
It was over behind Target.
Did you stop at Clyde's
Apparently not cause I'm not sure who Clyde is.
Your cats running lean
You missed the best trails in the State (moose country)

Well I’ve worked two and three jobs most of my life. Hard work paid off for me
VIDEO IS LAST YEAR. SPOILER.
I don't know how you flat landers do it. I gotta in the mountains away from people in deep powder.
My youngest son lives in Utah and I do a few mountain trips every winter.

Sorry I didn’t find it interesting mainly because we have very little snow only in mountains cheers Bundaberg Australia
