Another fella is coming out with me and he's towing his rig out. I'll probably start a thread in the Great Lakes section about this soon. I'll be contacting the local Moab club that hosts it soon as well.

But, I'm still very interested in going to the Duluth site (Rubicon 2) but likely once it warms up. June or something.

More news later.
Chip80 heads out every year, too.

Yeah March/April is pretty iffy for camping up here. While I have a camper and wouldn't mind it, if you are tenting it can get quite chilly. There are a couple of nice campgrounds that are very close to the wheeling areas in MN, in fact one of them has a trail that conects right to the park for any non-road worthy rigs. And both are very receptive to the off-roading community, because that is a majority of their business in the summer.

I would love to plan a large gathering of JKers up here. There are a lot of people that are working at making northern Minnesota a wheeling destination, and I would like to expose more people to what we have up here. And there is a lot to see and do besides wheeling.

I would love to head somewhere else and go wheeling to. I would welcome a weekend get away in March or April.

4) Coal Creek OHV Area / Windrock
5) Ozark-St. Francis National Forests

Tellico is shut down. If you come to Beasley Knob which is an AMAZING trail, Sevenslat4x4 would love to host you guys Just let us know.
