I wouldn't count on it with Ian being gone. I doubt your going to be able to talk anybody into going up there at midnight unless I can get Steve to give Derrick or I a key.

I was up there a few weeks ago and thought I saw a sign that said it was closed till March 15th. Am I mistaken?

I drive by the sign in burnett everyday. Opens April 1st. I see alot of wheelers heading up there anywayz. Im guessing they either know a bat cave entrance, or just driving over the gate because of snow depth or something.

pokey · Feb 17, 2013

Still lots of good snow wheeling on the logging roads still open up there as well as the Cedar lake route. (my clubs there today)

Is the snow still sugary, or was it packing?

Down low it packed pretty well, once we got up a bit higher there was some fresh snow, probably 8-10" of fresh stuff on top, that stuff didn't pack at all. I ran my Iroks down to about 3-4 psi in the rear to really make them bulge and it helped keep the rig from sinking as much.

I was putting together a run to go up on Monday for the opening but I am not going to be able to make it. I have to work Monday to finish up a big project. I will likely be able to go up next Thursday or Friday.

Figured this was the fastest way to let everyone know that I was coordinating with.

Thanks for the replies, forgot that I asked :eeek:

Anyone plan going for the opening?

pokey · Mar 30, 2013

Nobody had showed a interest in being there at midnight so I didn't ask the LEO to open the gate at midnight on Easter Sunday. I would call on Monday before going.
