Almost 7000km this summer, pretty good considering I didn't commute (unemployed) and took care of 3 kids at home. Long weekend trips and daytrips put the miles on.

Windigo Lake


Pickle Lake


Crown land camping


Nopoming Park fishing daytrip


Minnesota camping




Daughter's first ride




A good year and I look forward to commuting in 2013 and hopefully some kind of fly+ride or week-long 40th birthday trip next summer.

It sure doesn't make the "off season" blues I'm going through any easier.

Go south old man, go south!

They say there's more than corn in Indiana but I'm sure I seen more corn than anything else. ​

With a little help form Google Earth I did find quite a few old bridges,
​

a few old trains,
​

and of course some neat old buildings...
​

Also rode my first gravel road after not having a bike for over ( 30 ) years. Yeehaw!..
​

I had to hike a few miles for this shot but it's the closes I came to seeing anything resembling a canyon.

2012 was one of my best seasons yet... time well spent on 2 wheels with friends and family:

Chucker's annual Kootenay dual sport ride:


Did a couple of 2nd Gear Club harescramble races with my new-to-me KDX 220:


Chasing my wife on her Duc through northern California:

2012 was one of my worst! Utah in the spring, one ride in the Crowsnest, and the odd Cypress hills run. Got a new-to-me bike, and promptly hurt myself within 8 km of riding it. Booo. I should get a couple more ice blasts in before the New year.

The salt flats powerslide is AWESOME!

Nice, are these shots taken in Northern MN ?

Seasons Greetings, BackRoader.

Those two pics were taken near "Herbster, Wisconsin" near Bayfield - See map. Take the Bark Point Road out of Herbster to the east, it follows Lake Superior and takes you to a small public access actually for pretty large boats. Myself and some other pie eaters stop there on our way to or from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Years back, me and the GF were vacationing and found the area to be great.

I do spend lots of time in Northern, Minnesota though,
typically staring across the water in your general direction...

I am about 6.5 hours south of the MN-Canada border but hunt and motorcycle up that way.
