Fireball 440 1,920 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 62 miles today. My wife's got a good 100 miles on this year even without any groomed trails. And she doesn't wear crocks! I'm at about 180 miles on the season. Forest Roads and ditches are great. Trails suck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MnDean 21 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Thanks for the updates. I'm headed up this weekend. I will probably stick to the forest roads and just end up riding around the camp, but maybe a run up to Hugo's we will see how it looks when I get there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hugo's no longer has gas pumps but they are doing curbside/outside food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I seen a above ground tank there on the side parking lot, I think that might be gas for sleds, but they were closed that weekend for the Christmas holiday so I'm not 100% sure about it.

They have fire pits and wood fuel where the gas pump used to be lol. Looks like they got a dusting there and didn't get all the rain.

Fireball 440 1,920 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Hugo's again. Beer before 11:00 AM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MnDean 21 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Saturday I rode the north shore trail starting from the Laine road up to Silver bay, it wasn't great but ok if you don't mind a few clicks now and then. The moose walk trails were groomed and decent. Jumped back on the north shore trial and took that up to the Trestle Inn. From the Trestle I took the tomahawk to the knotty pine, it was groomed but had thin spots. From the knotty I made a bad decision and took the Yukon to the Brimson trail. When I got to Hugo's my old ass was beat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's thin but 10x better than the Yukon. We are riding the ditch back to Hugo's. Forrest Roads from there to Kane Lake. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
