sorry blue one i meant to say the atv park in gilbert not eveleth even though they are right next door to each other and no i haven't been there yet and have been itching to go there. and i live in roseau so there really isn't any atv trails around here the ones we did have the dnr are bound and determined to close down so we got gravel roads lots and lots of gravel roads lol. i am thinking in say august cause it is really nice out and seems like we get less rain in august then we do earlier in the summer.

I've never been up in that area,either, except to ride sleds in winter, sounds like it could be a lot of fun, I've never met anyone from the forum yet, I would be good to put faces on all the imaginative names we have here !!! Keep this updated, and lets turn this into a multi state get together up north.

weez, I'd like to go but may have to wait 'til next year. I'd be more interested in riding from Four Town up to your neck of the woods.

Hey weez, I just thought of a guy I know who is from Roseau, Nate Gustufson. (sp?) He was a few years behind me at Concordia and we both were on the track and XC team.

QUOTE by: BlueOne Hey DEEDAWG where is Four Town, looks like some nice land that you have there!

Thank you; I wish I had the opportunity to enjoy it more than just a couple times a year....

Four Town is approx 40 miles N/E of Thief River Falls, which as you probable know is approx an hour East of Grand Forks. Four Town has a population of zero, but I have seen probable 150 - 200 snowmobiles there at one time!!! Great deer hunting area.

TRF is approx one hour East of North Dakota and one hour South of Canada. That will put you in the ball park. If you really wanted to get there the fastest for you would probable the 94 west to Fargo, the 29 North to Grand Forks, and then East to TRF.

weez, when I get the chance to come up there again, I'll let you know. Probable won't be 'til fall, at the earliest. The bar is nice but the food ain't the best; just burgers and stuff. I'd like to have a cabin like that, though.

yeah for sure do that dee that would be a blast and i know that would make an awesome cabin i will probably never see the kind of money it takes to build something like that and v2rider you and everyone on here would be welcome to come with on that ride but the gilbert ride we were talking about is over by the duluth area. correct me if i am wrong but i think it is about an hour from there. it is much prettier country over there then it is here. and hey i talked to catter about this if he comes up wheelin up here we could go in the polaris parking lot in roseau and start hanging wheelies with our arctic cats always wanted to do that driven by there many times but no wheelies.
