After a long hunting season it’s time to take the wife on a weekend getaway - I'm looking for ideas that you guys have done. We've done a few bed and breakfast places, been to a couple of resorts like the Quarterdeck, just a nice meal at a nice restaurant and night at a motel is good.

Let me hear what you've done that your wife enjoyed. Something within a 2-3 hour drive is preferable.

Thanks!!

Grandview Lodge on Gull, Nisswa MN. She can spend a couple hours in the spa and you can sneak away for some fishing. Then regroup for dinner together. A win / win for both of you.

Looked up their HSOforum, Grandview does sound nice!!

Dude...go to LUTESON! The wife and I got married at the Luteson Resort. Beautiful place, great food and the bar was awesome. In fact, when we were there they were mixing up some home-made blueberry mojitos. And get this: the bartender went out to pick FRESH mint from the garden and had a stockpile of blueberries they had harvested earlier in the year.

Easily the best mojito I've ever had (and I don't even really like mojitos...I prefer beer).

If you like Duluth, I've got the spot for you.

We stayed at the Firelight Inn and had a wonderful time. The rooms are very cool, romantic and cozy, and the food is incredible. Unlike other B&B's, you don't have to eat as a group. Every morning, you get a knock on your door, and when you open it up, there's a huge picnic basket full of warm, freshly made food - just incredible.

Downstairs, there's a library with a huge fireplace, and a great supply of books and videos. They also have a coffee/hot chocolate/cider/tea station that you can go to 24 hours a day and make your own little snack, complete with fresh homemade cookies.

It's right in town, only 2.5 hours away and you have the whole town of Duluth within 15 minutes of the place. The caretakers are top-notch too - Really go out of their way to make sure you have the time that you want to have.

Just do a search for it and check it out. We've sent my sister and parents there for their anniversaries, and they have all come back raving about the place.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
