Ha ha bam bams. Classic. We always stop there on the way to our house. Gotta get that philly cheese steak in us before we even unload the trailers!! Flatlander, were are these bond falls? How about bat cave?? Chitown when you coming?? We are heading up there the 9th through the 14th. Maybe meet up for a cocktail??

A couple of routes that we like to take when in the area...which will be in 2 weeks!!!

Head up 102 to South Boundary road (trail #11). Take that up to the big lake and turn left of #1 which takes you up to Lake of Clounds (LOC). From there, take 1 thru Silver City and down to White Pine for lunch at the Konteka. We tend to rip the same way home except taking 11 all the way down to trail #2 in Wakefield. Stopping at Bingo's for a soda, then trail 8 to the Hoop before capping the night at Fishtales on west side of Lake Gogebic right off trail #1 for their friday night fish fry.

The next day we make a run up #13 thru Rockland, up towards/past Twin Lakes and even to the big bridge. Make the Freda loop (not sure of the trail #1) and then either grab lunch/dinner at the Parkview in Twin Lakes or Henry's back in Rockland. On the way home, stop at the Bergland Bay Bar before taking trail #13 south towards the root and back to the cabin on the Lake.

Last day might be a run up towards Ontonagon, back down trail #3 to Bond Falls, etc...

This of course is all snow conditions pending...Let's go LES!!!!

team kilt is just a secondary screen name for someone im quite sure. Seems some folks like to have more than one screen name. One to cause trouble the other to be normal

I agree more snow and riding we will go. Heck we should be out riding instead of typing. I think a ride is in my immediate future.

Let's all take a deep breath and inhale some cold air and maybe even a flake or two.

12-17 for me. the bond falls are some whare around 2 and like 107. it's been a while since i've been there. when you go to lake of the clouds there is a out house on the lake side. oppisite of that is a drainage culvert. bring a flash light. there is one more falls i've been to and it was -20 so it was frozen at the time. it used to be at 11 and south boundry road but 11 has changed so many times and i was only up there twice in the last 2 years. but i think it is whare south boundry starts on the w side.

Waterfalls

The waterfalls are great there are 2 that are very easy to get too

Bond Falls- take trail 8 out of Bergland east to trail 3 towards Watersmeet go south you will come to a stop sign on Bond Falls Rd. and the trail will go right - you go left and follow the road to the falls you will come to an entrance with a gate first you can get down there or pass that up and go futher and you will come to the dam and a walking path at the top of Bond Falls. It is beautiful in the winter

The other is

KakabikaFalls - take trail 13 on the east side of Lake Gogebic south towards trail 2 very close to trail 2 you will come to a stop sign at the County Rd 527 (you will see it on the map)take a left on the 527 it will be only a mile or so and there will be a parking spot on the left and a bridge ahead pull in the parking and walk the trail it winds way back down the path its awesome my favorite

Pictures 1 & 2 are Kakabika and 3 is the top of Bond Falls
