Went up to Isabella to see if there was any snow left. Was very surprised at what we found.
The Yukon trail was in great shape Fri. Started to show dirt on the corners by Sat. afternoon but still good.
I did 215 miles Fri. and Sat. 90% of it was off trail.
The LTV power line is still a blast if you watch out for the rocks.

The wife and me leaving out Fri. afternoon. We played on the power lines and did some logging roads. Stopped to help some idiot on the Heffelfinger road that was stuck with his pickup.


Me playing on the power lines Fri.




Sat., Wallygator, Mrs. Wallygator and 2SEwings joined up with us to do some old time trail riding.


An old shelter in a stand of huge cedar trees on an old grant and aid trail system.


Wallygator, 2SEwings and me on the LTV power lines.

The Yukon trail Sat. afternoon.

The power line does have some challenges at times. We did find a trail around the steep parts though.

Lordy Lordy, look who's 40!! Mrs. Wallygator's 40th was Sat. and she thought that she wasn't getting a party just because she was out of town. NOT!! She took it in good stride though.

Over all the off trail play places still have plenty of snow to play on.
Going up Thurs. for our last ride of the season.
The trails don't have too much more life left to them this year. The sun is melting the snow real fast.
They did groom the Tomahawk from the Knotted pines to the Tresle Fri. nite. Don't know how many more times it will be groomed this year.
There was an accident on the Yukon Sat. about a mile south of the Knotted pines. Some lady went off the trail on a corner and broke a leg pretty bad. From what I've heard though, she is going to be all right. Could've been a lot worse.
If anyone wants to get one more ride in, I would suggest getting out this week. Season is winding down fast.

I found an abandoned mini-van out on the Hefflefinger about a week or two ago... Looked like they had spent the night after they buried it.. Don't know what these people are thinking.

Logging roads are still great up here. I was on the big powerlines you have pictured and like you said they were still very ridable.

Thanks for the pics/report.

Madcow, come on up, you won,t be disappointed.
Your tree is waiting patiently for you.
Call Scott or Dana up at the pines and get a room in the bunkhouse. It's right by our trailer and cheap.www.knottedpine.com

To darn tired?? I think some Windsor had a "little" bit to do with that.

It's good to know that you had a great time! I can't believe the trails still had that much snow on them considering how warm it got last week!! I believe you're right though...this will be the last week / weekend of riding.

P.S. Thanks for the caps Scott!

I rode powerlines around Carlton with my dad on Sunday. On average the snow was at about a foot and half. Not a lot of miles but riding is riding this time of the year.

i have to be home by 3:00 saturday so I'm not sure what I'm going to do this weekend.



I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Erick, what I should have said was the exchange rate for caps is at 2 to 1 if you catch my drift

Great!! The more the merrier!!
See you up there Fri. afternoon.
We will be grilling up steaks Sat. nite so if you want, bring one up and maybe 2SEwings will be nice enough to cook it for you. I'm sure the only bribe it will take is a windsor or two.

Nice pics^^ That powerline is a blast. I Hit a stretch of it tonight. I saw two moose ditch into the woods before I could bust out the camera and found some decent snow to play in. I usually take the "KC Road" to the powerlines, then take those back to Hwy. 1 and the Timberwolf trail home. Good quick little after school ride.
