I am Curious....

How many People here would like to see a Mass Handout of Maps of the Area ??

I think that Blue River would Lose its " Uniqueness "

Call Me Crazy but I would Just like to Leave well enough alone !

On the Other Hand People need Factual Direction ! Humm...

Any other Thoughts on this ?

I have spent most of my life lost, confused, turned around, not in the right spot or just plain out to lunch. Why stop now:d

I have only rid in one area in blue then went home got lost and really socked in, don't know the place but would like to get to know it, I just need some one to show me some good spots, and if that happens then who needs maps! But if there are people not willing to show you around, then yes maps, or go else where to ride. :d

I do like the idea of a map, but more for if i am going the right direction. Cause i dont want to get out of bounds and have the wilderness police after me! LOL. I think if there were km markers for the entrances to each area with distances up the hill to each area would also be great.

Thanks

Ian

P.S I will be in touch for a spring ride! :)

Good Idea but....

Some Sleds are in Miles...( Polaris )

The Signs are going to have to be " Extremely High " Due to the Amount of Snowfall the Higher You go !

Great Idea though !

Right on Ian ! We are looking forward to seeing You in the Spring !

If You know the Days You are coming then let Me know as I am already taking Bookings for then....

Give Us a Shout !

Forget the signs too. Don't be cheap and pay Robin to take you out and then remember where you rode. Then go find your own area...if you get lost follow your tracks back to town and have a drink and figure out where you went wrong...lol

Haven't ridden blue river yet, but would like to give it a try. As for maps, I kinda have a mixed opinion about them. Nice to have a map with general boundrys and size of area, trail length etc., but then it gets really easy to have an area get overcrowded.

Anyway, would love to give it a try this year. How is it for accomadations, do you have to book rooms waaaay in advance??

The great thing is there are no boundaries....ride till you can't go any further or till you run out of fuel. As for the trail, it's more fun to just start going and then pick a clearing and see where you end up...this is where you won't find anyone else.
