The wife and I are going there when we go to Duluth in Aug.(around the middle). I wish we could a month later!

Man Jerk · 04-17-07, 09:52 AM

Here is some additional information about the

Minnesota DNR Page

The park is situated about 3 hours north of Minneapolis/St. Paul, near the town of Gilbert, MN. Camping will be at the Sherwood Forest Campground, which is literally 2 blocks off of main street in Gilbert. The campground has RV sites, Bathrooms, and Hot (or warm) Showers.
http://www.gilbertmn.org/sherwood%20forest.htm

The campground is connected to the park by a dirt road. No need to trailer your rig to the park, or even drive it on pavement.

The park itself is approx 1,200 acres. It is made up mostly of mine tailings. That means lots and lots of Rocks. In addition to world class rock crawling, there are easy wooded trails, hill climbs, mud, and sand. Everything from Stock to Rock will find plenty to play on.

Trail rides will be guided. There will be a raffle and dinner as well.

If we are lucky Northern Minnesota will be in full fall color and it is spectacular

Any Questions? Post up here or visit our website at www.mntoyx4.com

I'd love to go. Will this be on the calender in 2008? I have not been in Minnesota in 20 years. Maybe combined with a Boundry Waters canoe trip?

IBCRUSN · 07-27-07, 11:42 AM

I wish this event didn't clash with Flat Nasty on the same weekend because I would definitely make the trip north. Keep that in mind for next year.

Hogan · 08-21-07, 02:36 PM

Just a reminder it's getting close. Plenty of room left, we have lots of great trails.

looks like i was updating in the wrong place...i have another post in the sanctioned events section, anyways

everything is lined up and ready to go....get your registrations to me as soon as you can or just show up when you can and register at the campground...im pretty sure im going to be heading up there thursday...weve learned some things for next year already and yes we will be trying to make sure we do not double with ANY other TLCA event for next year...our biggest issue with the timing is we want to try and keep it around our change of colors... we may bump it out a week or 2 but on average that is about the time it hits peek up there...speeking of the color change...the leaves have started to change and if you want to see the fall color report click on the link below

http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/current_c...ons/index.html

we will see you there

MILLHOUSE · 09-12-07, 11:11 PM

Who else from Mudd is going to be at this event?

fytattoo · 09-13-07, 05:15 PM

so i just got off the phone with Gustaf from one of the FJ trail teams...they will be up there thursday night and along with the usual donation of raffle prizes there was some talk of a $500 cash prize...we are done accepting preregistrations but there is plenty of room for stragglers to show up ad register the day of the run

see you there

Mike C · 09-17-07, 09:43 PM

fytattoo · 09-19-07, 07:45 PM

so this is your last chance to join us this year... it looks like the fall colors are going a bit late this year but we should be at about 50% color change for the event and great weather for all 3 days...im headed up tomorrow (thursday) afternoon... hope to see you there...if not see you next year and we will try to adjust the dates a bit as to not to conflict with other TLCA events

accasbel · 09-19-07, 08:02 PM

fytattoo · 09-20-07, 08:21 AM
