Met da local loggers this morning… ha! 

That’s why the road is plowed out so good.

All good, they are currently cutting logs for a log home up towards Walker. 

They couldn’t get their tire chains on… well I happened to have an add-a-chain link in my truck so I helped them get the chain on the tire.

I befriended a logger, had some extra individual chain links, I gave them to him to help mount the chains on their semis. He told me about an area they just finished cutting. The logs are for a log home building company in Walker. It's about 4 miles off the pavement, they basically cut a new road, so it is remote. 

Ice fishing village out on a lake in the area. Good times driving the ATV out on the ice.

Big time logging tractor to access the remote timber the loggers were cutting for the log homes.

Safe travels and good adventures to you’all. 

Heading to Montana for some good mountain snowboarding.

Ride on!

Warming cabin

Base camp Four Wheel Camper 

Cool little warming shelter in the forest. I’ve been there on my mountain bike and ATV. It’s in the middle of nowhere, about 16 miles north of Aitkin. I rode my snowmobile over to it and started a fire in stove and had a breakfast. Couple snowmobile groups stopped in, I ended up meeting a family, husband, wife and their college age daughter and her boyfriend. They brought a lunch and cooked a couple hot dogs for me… they are from Lake Minnetonka area, the wife happened to know a good friend of mine that I used to work with at Super Valu. Haha!

 

Part 2 of 5 Day Camping Adventure in Northern Minnesota / Winter in the Four Wheel Camper

Good trip with dispersed camping in the State Forest. My Ford F-350 is becoming the adventure vehicle that I’ve envisioned. With a Warn Winch mounted in a cradle off the front connected into the new receiver hitch. With the Four Wheel Camper, set up with a propane forced air furnace, 160 watts of solar panel on the roof, a duel battery setup and 2 burner stove. This is a true Adventure Truck for off the grid travel and camping.

Leaving base camp in the afternoon for a night drive on the Forest Roads.

A good little snow overnight to give a wintery feel.

A bit of late night supper after exploring a couple hours in the dark.

Base camp.

This was a good full day of exploring the ATV trails along with miles of Forest Roads. Was able to get onto some smaller spur trails.

Final night of a good time campfire, listening to the owls and enjoying the solitude of the dispersed camping.

Ride on!
