Well, as you can tell from some of the photos in the last post I spent the last few days along the north shore of Lake Superior on vacation. Two of the days several hours each day were spent riding on the awesome ATV trails in the Silver Bay area. The trails in the area are maintained by the Silver Trail Riders club of Silver Bay, MN. Needless to say we had a good time. This was the first time that we had been on these trails so there is always a learning curve to finding your way around. The first night we spent some time trying to located the trail to finally realize that just down the block from the hotel (AmercInn) we were staying at. On Wednesday our first day of riding we headed out of town toward Finland, MN, on this day we rode about 52 miles. The map is available thanks to Google and my GPS. Thursday we set out to ride some different trails and ended up riding about 41 miles. A bit shorter distance and a much a few hours less. Once again thanks to Google the map is available. Some parts of the trails were very rocky which slowed us down a bit and some where new trails for ATVs and were signed as such, but had not yet been updated on the maps, so that threw us off a bit. Overall, it was a fun trip and a fun time was had be all.
