While the CAMBA trails are closed, I have been getting out for an hour or two most days to grind some gravel. This last weekend, winter decorated the forest with an inch of fresh fluff. It flocked the trees in a fresh coating of white and stuck on the frozen gravel roads until Sunday afternoon…
As I mentioned in my last news post here, all CAMBA groomed winter trails and warm weather MTB trails are closed. By Sawyer County ordinance, our trails, as well as ATV and snowmobile trails, must be closed from April 1st to May 15th. While that is the written rule, in practice the trails typically open…
Daytime high temperatures are forecast to near 60 degrees tomorrow in CAMBA Country, before they taper down to a more normal upper 30s this weekend. We also have a 70% chance of rain in Wednesday’s forecast. The combination of warm weather and rain does not bode well for our groomed winter trail system. Seeley Dave…
Winter trail conditions are still great if you ride in the morning. CAMBA Country got a late February frosting of snow, so the forest is just gorgeous again. Our groomers are back out packing down the tread on the 65 miles or so of singletrack we maintain all winter. With the forecast calling for sub-freezing…
Last week the Dusty Dutchman (J.T. Hage) and his sidekick Fruit Punch (Erin Brannon) made their way up from Racine to CAMBA Country. This was their first visit to the area, so of course, they came up during our recent cold snap. Despite the -15°F temperature, their well-done video sure makes it look like they…
Perhaps it is because I am from way down south (the south side of Milwaukee that is), but I have always romanticized winter. If I was forced to walk to a two-hole outhouse as a kid, as my Butternut-area deer hunting buddy was, I might have spent more time visiting Arizona and moved there after…
The crew of mostly volunteers at the Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association now have nearly 65 miles of groomed trails ready for fat bike fun. As of the publication of this news post, the recent wet snow has been compacted by multiple grooming sessions and the colder temperatures set nearly perfect conditions and a hard…
With the recent five or six inches of snow that fell on CAMBAland, the Chequamegon Forest is frosted in a beautiful fluffy white. Those first flakes were all the encouragement CAMBA’s crew of groomers needed to jump onto their Tundras and Rokons, and hit the winter trails. Since that first accumulation, Mother Nature has continued…
