As soon as I can get out of my lease.

Why? Well.. I was out with the dog wasting gas today on the backroads and came upon this amazing burg. First thing I’m greeted by are two ATC 350s putting down the street. Neat! But there’s more!

There were ATVs everyfriggingwhere! Parked at the bar, at the gas station, side streets.. Everywhere! There’s a trail that literally runs through the town!

The Cheese County trail is 47 miles long! I could get up in the morning, go for a rip and be home for lunch without ever having to load up the truck again!

I need to live in this paradise!

There’s ATV trails across my entire county. We keep it a secret though so all you flatlanders don’t infiltrate :P

I’ve hunted in Wisconsin. I can understand the need for secrecy. I’m not the typical FIB so hopefully I’ll be accepted.

Also Mineral Point is about a 2 hour drive from me. My old job’s HQ is in Dodgeville.

78's not a bad run - lots of twisties along the Wisconsin River. If you’ve got the time it’s nice to detour and take 113 across and back.

Im so used to the “Chicagohood” part of Wisconsin I forgot about the good stuff!

2 hours? Heck I’m only 40 minutes more right now. MP would put me on a 45 minute commute but working 2nd shift makes traffic a moot point.

you should stop going to Racine and Kenosha. They don’t represent Wisconsin

I learned that the second I moved to Dubuque! I’m still not used to waving at everyone on the road. Seriously. Cars, Trucks, Lawn Tractors.. Everyone waves hi and uses the passing lane properly.
