Oh be careful if need premium Tall Pines ran out yesterday & didn't have octane booster...bummer ....we had to use regular & took small amounts seemed alright with my Yam 4s but took it easy until we could by the hot stuff. No idea what peeps did coming in empty with 2s ...maybe had octane booster on board disappointing for me but deadly for them.

My thoughts exactly, I'm going to be riding out of IR next week with some guys that wanted to try a new area!
Just got back home from Iron Mountain. We took 2 East to 5 North to 16 into Crystal Falls. Then onto 113 to 2 back home. All the trails were in great shape. No traffic at all. We had everything from twisty's to straight and boring. You could pick anywhere in the area and have very good riding. Get a map and pin on wall. Grab a dart and throw toward the map in a safe area. Go ride where the dart landed. Be safe!
(P.S. hope the dart doesn't land on the floor....)

Good riding area ....no real civilization in 20 miles in all 4 directions.
Fill up in CF and you won't have to worry about gas.
If you fill in. Iron River you c as n shoot the trail 2 west to 15 north to Trail 8 west to Kenton pitstop and then 107 south back to trail 2 east to Iron River for gas and then either 2 or 16 back east to CF

I'm free tomorrow if you need a trail guide.
If you have your Wisconsin sticker, don't be afraid to head south. It's always fun to run trail 2 to Florence and Spread Eagle along hwy 141. You can fly if you want or take your time, there usually isn't that much traffic. Maybe down to Pembine and the tiny town of Amberg that has a nice little cafe. Then west to Athelstane which has a place called Nimrod with great food.Then loop back up trail 5 to Dunbar.
"Fob's" (far west end of town) is a good restaurant while in Crystal Falls.

And another ole favorite of mine is gone. Had many good times there. If the price is right, might be a good buy for the right people. Only concern is an outsider coming into Amasa, better have some relatives living in area otherwise might not be treated so well.

X2 sure would like to see Rusty Saw back up & running....really miss it.

A few years ago I met the owner, he was originally from Amasa but lived in Colorado. He wanted to give something back to his home town so he started the Sawblade and had a relative manage the business. I wonder why he decided to shut it down?
One time the owner made shaved venison tenderloin, flash fried in olive oil for us, wow! Saw the Red, White and Blues band there several times, these guys were really good. All local talent.

WAIT a MINUTE....what about "give you the shirt off there back" yooper attitude I keep hearin about?....LOL
So if an "outsider" bought it , probly stuck some money into that pit and tried to make a go of it.....The locals wouldn't like that?....added tax base is somehow bad for Amasa.....????....LOL....buy the first 2 locals that stop in a .50cent tapper and yur in the circle......LOL
J/K....I bet the locals would like a second, second home!
The folks at the Tall Pines is great!
And we always felt welcome at the Blade...I miss it not being there.

Do you mean Mike?.. not sure he owned or leased but rumor is his employee was skiming RSB went broke...but who knows tuff area to a make a living. The Horseshoe food not so good but nothing else in Amasa except premade sandwiches that scare me at Tall Pines. They might make a fresh sandwich for us but sometimes friendly... sometimes not so much....next time I'll ask..

Amasa has some wonderful people living there, but it is a very tight community. Like I said, better have some relation living there before moving in.

The Wooden Nickle on Gibbs City Rd. northwest of Iron River has good food, fun place too. The trail goes right by the tavern. Great trout fishing out that way in Spring.

The Nickle food is very good but has been very crowded & small place to begin with.....standing room only not good for kick back lunch break. Tami good people knows what I want & gives it to me ....lol... Venturenorth knows what I mean he peeked too ....rode on my coat tails ...what a guy.... ...LOL
