Bontz Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Add me to the mix if you guys find your way just a little to the west (Sawyer or Bayfield counties)! Would be fun to hit the trails for a day with some of you guys here & get some time to shoot the shit in person 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously ... if you head up that way, shoot me a message. We're on the flowage regularly during the season - especially if we're staying at my BIL's cabin just outside Ojibwa.

Deephaven Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Great place to ride. I arbitrarily ran into Chris at a watering hole up there once. Love the area in summer and winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) For all the times we used to ride around Ashland/Bayfield, that was somehow never on the list of places to stop. We need to make a stop there with the wife. Maybe she needs to rid herself of a bra or something.

I am down for some NWisco riding! Hey now! I used to have a cabin north of Winter… I try to do a backpack trip with my son from my sisters house in New Richmond to northern Sconnie every year, sometimes two or three times snow permitting. Two years ago we went east and south through Black River Falls, they had great snow! Last year our club did 5 trips, so I did get pretty locked into Northern MN. You know I’ll be out there riding almost every week/weekend… starting this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag6240 Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Guess I hit the post button twice - hopefully we get snow everywhere and I can backpack from the house this year! Edited November 30, 2022 by Mag6240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit further north, up along the Trail 2 corridor ... but not THAT far from the Flowage. We've ridden up that way many times, with a loop that goes up through Valhalla and over towards Iron River and back down towards the flowage. If you've never been to the "Palace" ... it's definitely a bucket list type of place. That, and "Buckwheats" on the Tuscobia (between Ojibwa and Raddison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a reminder of what bars used to feel like, walking in to that blue haze! I'm not a smoker, but it still makes me chuckle every time we go there ... when we can actually get in. That place can be crazy busy at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old bar but actually clean for old bar standards but they still smoke in there. Posted his smoking fines on the wall that he's gotten. I don't smoke either but the owner's a grin and it's a fun bar for the last stop of the day. Edited November 30, 2022 by Doug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We layed old snowmobile tracks down the center of the bridge to protect the wood from studs. The track with the threaded plates welded on was one of my old hooker tracks that you would screw the studs into. Worked great but was hard on track lips and on occasion as in this track could tear a bar of the track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we had quite a scare last fall when one of our guys accidentally ran a tractor off the side of a hill road and down about a 40' embankment. Thankfully he didn't get rolled over by the tractor. Sorry to hear about the accident - that's awful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
