| Last day and our only ride up to Tofte peak overlooking Lake Superior. |
The first week of March each year, a group of adventure minded gentlemen make their way up to the north shore of Minnesota for what we refer to as the "Man Trip." This year mother nature decided to drop upon our playground 16" of fresh snow. Our faithful leader/muleskinner Josh, keeps us on task with a list of to do's each and every moment of the weekend. Fat bike riding is the favored task of each day, riding up and down the many frozen rivers that feed Lake Superior. Unfortunately, the mild winter and sudden dumping of snow only two days prior to the trip this year made for unrideable conditions. Fortunately, we always bring snowshoes for such emergencies. This year's man trip turned into an apocalyptic snow shoe adventure. I figure that I snowshoed about 20+ miles over the weekend and I missed out on the first 8 mile trek up the Manitou River. We did find one really cool treasure along the way and it made for a very memorable weekend non the less. Here are some of the picture highlights of the weekend.
Enjoy,
The Wood Man
