Voyageurs National Park 3/7-9
During the TY MN ride I was asking a few of the members about the Voyageurs National Park area... After getting back my dad and I started to plan the trip... Our riding buddy wanted to join us so that help cut down on the cost of the room... We rode out of the cabin Friday morning... Picked this guy up 33 miles into the trip:
Having a bite of venison and deciding which way to go:
Stopped here for gas on the way up:
Next stop Side Lake... Just looking over the old girl:
Stayed in Cook overnight... Had a fun time in town... What a friendly town for snowmobilers:
The next morning we rode up the Ash River... Stopped here for a quick bite:
This is where we entered Voyageurs National Park... What a beautiful area!!!
Just as we exited the park we ended up on Crain Lake... We stopped here to see the new lodge and use the restroom:
Stopped here because food and gas:
With all the sleds, big bumps, and a more frequent stop to rest schedule... The day got long... But it was well worth it!!!
Stayed here Saturday night... Cheap rooms, bar and grill attached, and hot tub:
Sunday morning we were up early and headed home... Stopped here for gas again:
Dropped the banana off and got gas... A month earlier the town held the Minnesota Vikings snowmobile rally... This is how cold its been... Like it was made yesterday:
This maybe the last fill up of the year... Warmer weather ahead:
This trip clocked 703 miles
Current miles on ODM 3345
Previous years miles on ODM 313
YTD miles 3,032

Just a quick update.... Last Friday (3-21-14) I put on around 200... I didn't take any pictures because I forgot my phone in the cities...
I am working this weekend and my dad's Apex is down with clutch problems... He asked to ride my sled for the weekend... 30 mile into his weekend he called to tell me he thinks he totaled the Vector!!!! Yes he is OK... Until he gets back and I have my way with him :/
I'll be taking and posting photos as soon as I get a a chance to head up north for a day.
Non official total
This trip clocked 2XX miles
Current miles on ODM 35XX

Was the Vector totalled, Mileage Quest?
Curious, what are your thoughts with your Vector after those miles?
I am currently looking for a 13 or 14 Vector LTX, or a 14 1200 Doo with R-motion, but can't make up my mind, plus I can't find either anyways (new non current or gently used)
