Back in the day we used to take the Backcountry road shortcut to St.Margerette from Faribault, I believe it’s the Dunieres Reserve.

Big grippe is getting bigger grrr....

hi jg  !!!

 

right....duniere reserve ....begin at mile 24 on logging rd...end at mile 50 toward la cache....and if memory still good....end at mile 54 toward faribault camp

faribault ...'' bloc faribault '' ...its 40 wood lots side by side .....private...

back in the 80's and 90's  , going up to the faribault ...we were riding left side of logging rd ...then at the '' 41 '' and up  !!!

maps to show you the meaning of in the ''middle of nowhere '' for me...must be 98 ....went to the 28 to look for moose antlers...let my truck there and go ...after a few miles i did nt bother much with antlers...so, i was looking for scenery !!!...landed at the 41 ....then 46 is nt too far ..lets go !!!...big logging camp there back in the 70's ...early 80's..

well. few mins from bridge of the 50 ....vrooooooooooooommmm !!!

geez...only 12-15 miles away from the faribault .....braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappp!!!

on my way there, i was thinking ...lets try to find the trail of a friend...been there 1 x the year before...so , once at the faribault ....keep going off the trail...between 9 and 10 ...there s no road...go up ..very steep between the trees and land on top of the mountain...

high enough to see logging road at he 30 ...and maybe at the 17 !!!....follow the numbers in red !!!...at number 10 ...you feel alone...be sure of that !!!!

i think it was first or second week of april !!!
