      I think everyone will enjoy the route we picked out, we will be doing Forest Road everyone liked last fall. Also up along Lake Superior and we can extend that depending on what folks want a little. Take a look, we are planning on a stop at the Delta Diner for lunch, they have a web site if you want to check it out. The people I've talked to seem to really like it.
      That is going to be a nice ride. I've been to a bunch of those places back when I lived in northern Wisconsin. You're covering some great areas. Hope you're able to take a couple minutes in Bayfield and step out on the docks.

        And it looks like the ride will just miss the area that was hit by fire earlier this spring. The ride is mapped as going west on N and then heading south on 27.

          Arlan... Were you out scouting the ride and scraping/sparking pegs by the roadside?

            Yeah we are leaving the Bayfield option open, it is a very scenic little town for sure, they also sell some really good smoked fish and I'm not a fish eater so that's saying a lot. There is a few things to do there like rent sea kayaks and go to the caves, take the ferry to Madeline Island where there's a nice state park to name a couple things and yes the dock is pretty cool.

            That fire was very devastating and burned over ten thousand acres and took out a lot of homes and cabins. Started by some logger/forest workers accidently from what I heard. I have seen a albino deer up there and I know there's a couple that has them come in regularly for feeding. I'm also hoping the Elk are around the Clam Lake area they were re introduces years ago and have been doing pretty good and common to see them in some of the state forest campgrounds and crossing roads. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and having a great time.

                              Sorry to hear it, Nate. I guess you'll just have to be the one everyone makes fun of in the evenings.

                              I guess you'll just have to save up and come with us out east in Sept then.

                                Sorry to see you can't make it Nate, hope the move and new job go good for you, maybe next year.

                                Anyone else coming up if you need directions/my number or anything message me so you have a contact number just in case.

                                Cruiser has it also.
