Mission accomplished everyone, I managed to ride to Winter,Minnesota with Wallygator and WallygatorJR last Saturday. A previous post by 95xcr600 riled my interest and I developed an obsession to ride there
As it turned out, my TOPO software for my Garmin GPS showed exactly where Winter, Minnesota was located in an area I spend most of my riding season.
Last Saturday we headed out from the Knotted Pine near Isabella, Minnesota with 6 sleds in the group about 9am for our destination. A couple of guys in the group had a bad start to the day, both had engine meltdowns less than 10 miles out
. After making sure they were back to camp, Wallygator, WallygatorJR and myself finally were back on trail heading to our destination
Here are a couple of pics of snow conditions in that area....
Then, as usual, we ran into Ditch-Banger and his group in the absolute middle of now-where. Go figure, that is where we always see him and the guys
We also noticed that Shane in his group had picked up a hitch-hiker, she was reprtedly the last know resident of Winter! She was down to her last $10 and was desperate for a ride away from town
As it turned out, it was only about 1/2 mile away from where we ran into Ditchbanger and the guys was where Winter is located. The 1st pic is on main street looking Northeast of town...
Next pic is down mainstreet looking southwest...
This last pic is one of my favorites for the weekend, it is of the Community Recreation Center to the southeast of mainstreet
Overall it was a good ride, still managed a 100 miles after a slow start but the day was very relaxing!
