After a much to long winter, with many long days at work that would run into the long night, I finally was able to get the swamp donkey out for a short shake down after some maintenance, its easy to forget something when the repairs are stretched out over the long darkness of winter.
This is overlooking Waiska Bay with the Sault Ont. airport on the Horizon.
Didn’t go to far, wanted to just get back home and check things over.

A bit chilly out today, the high was around 60 but the sun was out, just a few miles west of here on M-28 there has been some logging activity with new two tracks cut, did a little wandering on those then came onto some tracks I’d never been on, not hard to do around here as they seem to be everywhere and going in all directions, a lot just peter out after a ways but thats ok it looks different coming back.
Notice the color of the sky in the background, I didn’t, and I should’ve.
Never used to see this, but nowadays with the proliferation of side by sides and the accompanied destruction they bring to the two tracks how long till no one is allowed to enjoy.
Stopped here to wait out another rain shower, Black creek rd.
The rain showers where moving from the northwest, so it was go back east and be wet and cold, or go north to Superior then east and just be cold, I chose to just be cold.
Blueberry fields forever.

Evening ride last night on the old DR after my yard work, got back around dusk. 76 mile solo run taking trails and roads less traveled, I did not see anyone out in the woods, just a few dirt bike & atv/utv tracks... Lots of erosion, rocks, and water still, challenging and fun!!

Todays ride 115 miles
The soil is more limestone down this way,the two tracks are almost like riding on pavement, its actually quite nice.
This large limestone rock being broken down and maybe in another few thousand years will be little rocks.
west of Castle Rock, a couple of nice swimin holes, hardly any one out and about today, I'm not complaining mind you.
Saint Martin Bay on lake Huron, as far east as I can go for now, turn around and head home.

It is pretty important for riders to take this survey and promote OHM riding with some land use changes in the Keweenaw.
Done. Thanks for your efforts!

Back on the bike today after an unscheduled 8 week hiatus due a medical issue.
It's sure nice to be out riding again!
Somewhere in the Hiawatha National Forest...

Out on the Valkyrie with a chum on his 950 Yamaha, went about 300 miles just meandering around.
Tahquamenon river north of McMillan
Seul Choix Pointe Lighthouse ( pronounced sis-shwa) near Gulliver on Lake Michigan
It’s about 8-9 miles south of US 2 in Gulliver, the last 4 miles or so are hard packed dirt and pea gravel.

The Tahquamenon River bridge north of McMillan....driven over that a thousand times.
Our family camp was out that way....spent 50+ years crossing that bridge.
Unfortunately, the cabin was on leased land, and the lease holder sold the property this past spring.

I got to talking to the guy who owns the general store there on 28. He’s a dirt biker.
