Late Season BMW 1250GSA Ride / Four Wheel Camper Dispersed Camping / Past 48 Hours




Exploring the Mississippi River Bluffs along the Wisconsin border on my BMW 1250GSA.
After riding the Moto all day, pointed the truck north towards Lake Mille Lacs. Drove into a brief snow storm, pulled over at 1:30am climbed in the camper, fired up the furnace and got a good sleep. That morning, stopped and had a breakfast with the Mille Lacs Walleye...



Traveled north another 70 miles north and dispersed camped off a Forest Road. Beautiful night under the stars, temps not too cold, about 35 overnight. Furnace in my FWCamper keeps me warm at 70 degrees. Good walk in the woods in the morning, 
Adventure on!

4TH of July Week / Motorcycle and Boating / Good Drink and Food

 CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE!!
The view from the road. Took to the 2 lane highways on the new Beemer over the 4th. Headed north out of Minneapolis and rode along the east shore of Lake Mille Lacs on highway #47.

 Stopped at a gas - food stop on the north-east corner Mille Lacs. Broaster Chicken was recommended for a quick lunch, add a Monster energy drink and I was ready for the road again. Stayed on #47 and rode through Aitkin. Hooked onto #169 heading north to a small county road that headed straight west 40 miles to the cabin. About 5 hours on the road this day, taking the long way to the cabin, yeah. 
 The best part of a 1200cc dirt bike is that I can explore the woods close-up. These tires are marginal on the damp forest road, so picking a good line is important. The knobbies would be a good choice on a ride like this. It's all good!


 Arriving at the cabin...park the motorcycle and hit the water and a cold beer...Good Times!

 It was a good 4th of July week.
The BMW patiently waiting for the trip home...

4th Of July Tour Up To Mille Lacs Lake & Whitefish Lake, Minnesota

 CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE!!
The classic Lake Mille Lacs Walleye in Garrison, Minnesota.
 I rode a Honda Gold Wing up north on the 4th of July. With temps in the mid 90s it was refreshing to take a break on the shore of Lake Mille Lacs with a cold ice tea and the breeze off the water.


 The flag flying high over the land of the free, in the north woods.
