Anybody want to go on an off roading trip?

Posted By: Tour_Racer00 · 11/02/05

I'm going to be heading up to either Iron Range rec area or Spider Lake one of these weekends and didn't know if there was anybody with a 4x4 that wanted to go with. The cost there to go on the trails is free, but your vehicle has to be registered as an ORV (off road vehicle) at the DMV first and that costs $38.50 for 3 years in MN.

This is just what I drive, probably not what we will be doing (that took be a week to get like 80% of that mud off

Anyways heres a link to some pics from his adventure. Is this one of the areas you were looking to go to??

That is exactly what I'm looking to do. That looks awesome, but right now, the only person I know with a decent four wheel drive doesn't want to go because it will cost him too much gas or something like that. This is why I wanted to know if there was someone else on here that wanted to go with. You'll have to get ahold of him and ask if he wants to go there again

I'll check it out for ya. He's the only guy in our group of friends who really likes off-roading, so he is always looking for someone to go with him. I'll let you know what he says, and if he is planning on going up there again.

BTW, where are you located. He is here in Duluth, so its a quick trip up there for him.

I'm in Rochester so its not just a quick trip for me. Let me know what he says because I would like to find out a little more info on what I have to do, when I can do it, ect.

Is this Whitling bird a restaurant or something?

Yup! Best resteraunt in the area. It is a funky little jamacian place right in downtown gilbert. The owner is actually from Jamaca too. People actually come up from the cities just to eat there. When they were filming North Country up here Charlize Theron went there ALL the time. The really really really good items are Hawiian Teryiaki Steak, Cocanut Shrimp, or the mediteranian medly. But just to warn you, it does cost $10 and up for dinner. I would have to say it averages $15/plate + beverages.
