Just back from my first visit to McCaslin Mountain in Wisconsin. I didn't see even half the trails, but I was there alone and didn't want to push my luck. Finally, the misquitos and ticks drove me out! Gotta Love Wisconsin

I've been up to McCaslin twice now, both with groups and it's a great place to wheel. Did you run the Pipeline as well? Check out wi4x4.com, plenty of activity.

Cool pic. Any more? I hate ticks to.

I've been on the pipeline many times, back when I was a much younger man (1980 to 1985) and into the mud thing, not so much anymore! We used to spend whole weekends on the pipeline, camping where ever we wanted. Back then, it wasn't restricted, or considered a county highway like it is now. It was 'anything goes'! I do plan on trying the pipeline again yet this year, maybe after it cools down a little.

I found the McCaslin info at the site you listed and got a great PDF format map from a guy there. It's the same map they hand out, but this color version is original quality and you can actually read the GPS coordinate grid numbers. If anyone wants a copy, just send a PM with your email address.





Sure thing, I've got more pics - I'll post some after I get home from work. The pics don't do justice to seeing it live though. What I thought looked like a very difficult trail, looks pretty easy in the pictures. I guess you have to be standing there on the incline to realize....


The trails are generally more demanding than what I had imagined. In terms of difficulty, there are medium, hard and extreme. Sometimes you have to go through a hard trail to get to a medium trail, so I should not have gone back in there alone and without a winch (ordering this week). There were places where I could've used a spotter, and it would've been a heck of a long walk out if I had broken down, but that just made it more exciting I guess.

Glad you had a good time up the, DS. Check out "North Woods Overland" as well. If you're in central WI - should be pretty close. I plan on heading out there in the next two months or so. Also, if Gilbert MN is within your driving range, that is a GREAT place to go. MN-Jeep.com is another forum you may want to browse. There's a trail event in Sept. in River Falls - sounds like a good time.

Thanks for the info! Good stuff. I'll have to get over that way one of these days.
