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...

Crossing Open Water

Crossing Whitefish Lake on Thursday with a 24 foot pontoon and 90 HP motor. 40 MPH winds, raining to beat the band, temp at 40 degrees, my kind of weather. Didn't see any other boats on the lake. Felt like we were on the Bering Sea when the waves washed up over the deck when we were cutting into the swells. GOOD TIMES!!

These pictures were all taken after we got into the shelter of a bay. Winds were coming out of the east, south-east this day.

Gotta have the good rain gear, ya! Marmot jacket and North Face rain pants.
