leech~~ Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Great day out on the trails. Sun was out all day. Lots of folks out later as you can see in the Trestle Inn pictures. And that was only half of them that I could get in the picture. The "Train Wreck" burgers went down well, but took almost an hour to get them with all the people in there. The trails for the most part were very good, but we did start to hit some ice on the corners on the way back. Got to take Randy's new 900 for a ride. I was really surprised at the zip of that sled. I really though driving a 4 cyc was going to be like riding a yard tractor! Not. Very smooth ride but may be a little front end darting that I would have to get use to. I will say that I really missed my Klote's buzz following behind that 4 cyc! Had a fun day Randy, beat drilling holes in a lake! Ha. Sorry Xplorer and Gary!

Xplorer Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Looks like you guys had a nice ride! I ended up doing just fine.....free awesome breakfast at Blue Max, drilled 75 holes by 10:30, had a couple cups of "adult coffee", and then won two rod/reel combo's in the raffle, and took home a new auger with 7th place in the contest.. KA CHING Gary and I are looking at the 14th or 21st for another ride, either one work better for you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 State tourny is the 14th.Lets look at one of those two, and wait to see what Ma Nature gives us. The other of the two weekends I think I'm gonna head up to URL with the sled/portie and chase some slabs and do some riding if anyone is interested.

Huum, the slab hunting part sounds interesting. Where would you stay or just a day up and back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Figured I'd stay the night since the crappie bite is usually best from 3 to 10pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Actually was going to look at getting one of Bearpaws river cabins. Last time I stayed with them it was $25/person/night. Other option is a cabin at Big Bog.My Dad's having some health issues, so I may have to head south one of those two weekends now tho.

Xplorer Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 LAS, I will give you a call/text tonight, if you can go Sunday that should work for me. I'm gonna run the local trails on thursday. 2" so far up here on top of the hill in Duluth and looks like its all the way up the shore just a bit lighter. Next weeks temps do not look good for riding, I'm seeing close to 50 for Cloquet by next weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Wish I could make it. Sounds like this could be one of the last good weekends? Have fun guys and take a few photos! You know how accurate the weather folks are, it will probably be changed to below zero in a couple days (-8 here this morning). They've already dropped next weeks highs from the high 40's to low 40's. LAS, sorry, had to snowblow and shovel the 5" that we got at the house and then flopped and fell asleep early. Gotta check one thing out and will get in touch later. Isabella is a short ride on the Tomahawk to the Trestle. It looks like that area got about 3" of new snow yesterday. I know there was heavy traffic last weekend and will be again this weekend, but I think trails were pretty decent from the reports I've seen.

Trainwreck here I come Hopefully it wouldn't take an hour to get a Trainwreck this weekend. But's it's always fun having a bump and people-sled watching until it comes.

LoonASea Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Well I think its over ,,,if you didnt get a chance to ride this weekend it could be over for most places in Mn ,,,,X and I got an early start today and were the 3rd and 4th sets of tracks on the freshly groomed NSST ,,,took better then 40 miles to see any sleds other then the other 2 that left Two Harbors with us ,,,,Got to the Trestle a little early and had to wait till breakfast was over before we could order our trainwrecks ,,,,Took the Tomahawk to the Knotted Pine for gas and attempted to take the Yukon back,,,, the Tomahawk was groomed they Yukon was NOT so we back tracked a bit and got back to the Moose Walk and then the NSST ,,,Perfect trails, Great weather,, Nice scenery,,,, Good company and very few sleds on the trails ,,,If this is the end of this riding season ,,It ended perfectlyPS the trails weren't exactly perfect all the way back some of the snow is now snirt with a few rocks and mud mixed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstick Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Nothing but warm temps here on out. Starting to yard again here. Time to put it away for the year I guess. All I can say is leave fast and open water begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
