Thinking the weekend of October 18th or 25th going to St. Croix State Park or hitting up the Soo Line trail.
My bro and Myself will be going. If any of you are interested the more the merrier :clap:
That would be cool to ride with you guys, it is not that far, plus we have friends in Mn. I will look into it....Wait, that is the week I get back from the dunes. Nevermind. :(
I wouldn't mind pushing it out farther, but hell, that goes in to November, and minnesota weather is already unpredicable in October. :lol:

Has vern burny been riding there this year?
I think we went there last fall & its was extremely rocky
I have ridden in St. Croix and the south side of the loop can get very rocky. The Gandy Dancer trail also connects St. Croix to Nemadji. So if you want a full day of riding I would suggest trying that out. I have never made it up that far but I have wanted to try. The Gandy Dancer also goes into the Cheese state. The Chengwatana is only good enough for about an hours worth of ride. The road to the trails is more fun than the trails themself.
Is st. croix the one w/ the big honkin bridge? I'm thinkin we're going to stay away from Wisc as I don't think any of us have ORV stickers for Wisc riding.
St. Croix has a bridge that leads up a hill that has been covered with concrete forms to prevent erosion. It had rained alot when I was there and there were two spots on the trail by the western most parking that were underwater up to the seat. I could feel the raptor floating sideways as I went through it. In the parking lot we meet some people on dirt bikes including a kid on a 90. We told them it was underwater but they did not seem very concerned. I wish I could have seen the little kid go for it.
:lol: :lol:
That's awesome. We still need to get together to go over your quad.
when's the next time you're around?
I saw Dan was out pickin pumpkins w/ a small crew yesterday.. Brings back some good memories. :)
Hey Krandall, do you think it would be possible to get to Chengwatana from your parents house riding the ditch?
Anything is possible ;) just gotta outrun the DNR on the highways 8)

Hmmmm, I can do some looking, it'd be a heck of a trip.. I know there's no trail up 61.. Learned that the hard way.. dang DNR. :lol:
The riding booklet says you are alowed to ride in the "ditch". What did the DNR say about riding alont that stretch?
The ditch is very unrideable. It's all swamp. We drove from hinkley to pine city on the shoulder. :lol: :lol: :lol:
got pulled over in Beroun. :lol:

:rofl: I hate when that happens
For anyone still interested.
We're leaving Braham @ about 10:00am. 8)
No one from work has called me yet so I called in to double check. No one picked up my Friday & Saturday night yet. I work for them when they request time off but when I request time off they are always busy. What a bunch of :mad: :slap:
:lol:
Well.. Saturday was the BIG day! We honestly couldn't have asked for any better weather. Was about 65. Sunny, a little breeze.
This was our first time for all of us riding on state trails. So we were all ready for the experience. We got to our parking spot, there were about 8 trucks parked in this specific spot. All riding 4x4z. Whatever no big deal. we take our first trail it was about a 3-4 mile loop that came back to our parking spot. First 1/10th of it was sand. Awesome. Little ruts here and there. but no rocks, it had rained a few days before so the sand was wet and no dust. We get a little farther out... it was nothing but rocks. I was glad I had the ishock and precision. My bro.... not so fortunate :lol:
We got finished off that ride. and went to some more trails. There were a few really sweet spots. Lots of hills up and down. turns bends ect.. Ran into a Rappy out there. gave him the whats up! but. he just flew by us.. whatev.... The last trail we took was nothing but water... holes. more water, some more holes, some water, and then rocks. It was a blast. my bro and I were riding sport quads. the 3rd perosn with us was riding his brand new king quad 750... my bro and I were muddy head to toe.... the guy on the king quad.. had a little mud on his shoes. :mad: :lol: It was a blast. I had a lot of fun, and it was only about 1 hour from my parents place!! It closes down Nov 1st. So... WE'll be back next year! :clap: :clap: 8) 8) 8)
Glad you had a great time :thumbs:
Worked sucked :lol:
What trails were you riding?

like the actual names of the trails? All I really know is we parked inside the St. Croix St. Park. :lol:
We put on just under 31 miles in about 2.5 hours.
Well my wheelers managed to go on a ride, unfortunatly I wasn't riding them. My friend borrowed my 2 rides and took his fiance to St. Croix. They joined some other friends of mine and rode to Danbury for Ice Cream and back. They figured about a total of 50 some miles. He told me that they there had been some work on the trails and that the spots that had flooded last year had new drain pipes laid in. Krandall, next year I am going to find you and make you get a sticker to ride in Wisconsin.
I am TOTALLY for riding in Wisconsin. Lydia's bro lives in Black River Falls. I'm trying to wrok on gettin somethin set up for that next year.
