I will add that I rode the Munger trail Monday from just North of Hinkley up to Willow River and it was perfect. From Willow River we headed west towards Denham (I think) and that trail was getting a bit worn....a little icey in the corners but defeintly rideable. We then jumped on the Soo Line trail and that was also pretty much perfect, besides for a few small bumps for the first mile or two. We then hit Hwy 65 and rode the ditches back down the Knife Lake where we started out. The ditches were riden but had good snow. 100 miles for the day.

This past Saturday (1-21) we put on 210 miles riding from Perham up to Elbow Lake, over to Itasca State park, and then south back to Perham. 85-90% of the trails were in good condition and it was a fun day of riding. Started to get icy in some corners, but the trails were groomed. Higher volume areas started getting a little bumpy later in the day. Ditches had good snow but it was all hardpack and riden. Not much for powder anywhere but there is now to ride up there and in the Detroit Lakes area.

Hopefully this warm front does not make it too far north for too long.

Trego, WI was a nice ride last weekend. Didn't really care for all the small rocks working their way to the top of the railroad grade between Spooner and Trego though. I just clamped on the throttle so the engine sound would drown out the rock hitting wear rod sound grin.gif

Who knows what things will look like after today and tomorrow though mad.gif

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
