Recent rides?

It's been awful quiet in here lately. Just curious who's been out. What are the trail conditions like? Good shape? Other riders?

Now that the dithces are legal to ride in but not the most exciting area, it's better than nothing.

So who's been out? Has there been anymore pulls? I know when I went through Houston, MN on the bike a couple weeks back, there was the Houston Hoe-Down and noticed while passing through there was an ATV mud run. I didn't have much time to stop to check it out (tons of traffic).

Just some local riding and with no rain, the roads are dustier than heck.

We are leaving for Wisconsin on Friday for 4 days to ride, kinda hope for some light rain at night otherwise it could be real bad riding there too.

Have a good time out in Sconnie land. Just in case, a bandana for each rider would help a lot with blocking the dust.

We were out in Appleton last saturday for awhile. It was really wet and muddy! They had a bunch of rain the night before. I personally got stuck 6 times and my hubby was stuck a bunch too. Lots of fun though. Didn't come out very clean.

We where in appleton 3 weeks ago, It was GREAT till I lost the left rear innner Cv joint! Went to Bayfield Co Wi last weekend, It was also great till I lost right rear outer Cv joint! I guess 4000 miles of abuse was enough for the stockers. Going somewhere in MN next weekend too.

So much for our trip to the east....washed out.

Jackson County closed all trails, Clark county is still open, but noone has been out to inspect the trails yet due to other commitments for the people that do that.

I was told that you would be riding at your own risk and they figuring there are washouts and trees down in the trail systems, not a risk I am willing to take on with some less than experienced riders in our group.

So on with vacation, we are heading North and just winging it, stopping by Chengwatana, Gandy Dancer, then towards Moose Lake. Hoping to find some camping along with access to the ATV trails.

See you on the trails.

Antkin trails are Ok, all the rain latley had kept the dust down and the mud UP! Very little trees down and wash outs were very few....but deep!

We went to Moose Lake and had a riot.

We went to St. Croix Park on the way back and there is some sweet riding there, looks like we will be going there again.

Anyone up for that being the ride this fall?

Here is a picture or two of our trip to the Soo Pits.

My wife and daughter found a little puddle.

I found a mud hole and one of the younger ones wanted to ride with.

We spent Saturday riding in the Nevis & Akeley area. It was great except they closed the trails at 5pm to 1am for the Ojibwe Forest Rally on both Friday and Saturday night. There were a lot of fellow atvers at the Stompin Grounds. Fun atmosphere.

On our way home on Sunday, we decided to stop by the Spider Lake OHV area near Pine River. It was the first time we had been there. I was impressed. It had beautifull scenery and great Class 1 atv trails. Great place to go for a one day ride. I will definitely go there again sometime.

All-in-all, a great weekend!
