YOU READ IT RIGHT! This summer starting June 27th in Oregon, I'm going to be the first person to atv across ALL of North America. WE WANT YOU TO JOIN US IN MINNESOTA!!!!!!!!! We are starting in Oregon and ending the first week in August close to Portland Maine. I have been working on the route for over three months and the entire distance will be traveled on legal trails, forest roads, county roads etc. from coast to coast. At this point there are only about 6 places that we may have to trailer for a few short miles and we are working on those areas at the present time. If you go to my web site http://atvwithjim.com we have a calendar posted on the dates we will be coming through each area. This calendar will be updated in the next few days and as we travel. Adjustments will be made on a daily basis if the schedule changes. We will include daily photos of the ride along with a written update of how many times we got lost, stuck, fell off, chased by Moose etc. I have a transponder on my atv and you can go to the web site and follow the progress of the route as we move along. This transponder will be live starting June 26th which is the night before we leave from Lakeview, Oregon. I will be coming into Minnesota at Oslo with a first stop at Thief River Falls. The first night stay will be either Bemidji or Cass Lake. Leaving Cass Lake we will follow the Soo Line going through Remer, Shovel Lake, Palisade, McGregor, Lawler, Kettle River and staying the second night at Moose Lake. This is a charity ride and we will have applications with us for anyone that wants to contribute directly to the charity. You do NOT have to make a contribution to join the ride. We want any atver's to join for any portion of the trip. We are promoting legal riding, safe riding and attention to the various trails in each state. Each person joining the ride for any portion will be given a decal that indicates they have participated in this first ever event. We have national sponsors including Arctic Cat, Lowrance GPS, SageTracker transponders and numerous smaller companies. There will be regional and national newspapers, TV stations and radio stations covering this event and we hope Minnesota has many riders to show their ATV clubs support. At the present time we are anticipating 150 to 200 riders at the Wisconsin border. If you want to continue into Wisconsin, we will leave Moose Lake about 8:00 Am and the first night stay will be in the Hayward/Cable area. Thanks for your support! Check out the web site and send us your favorite photos. Jim Email: atvwithjim@yahoo.com Thank you for your support of ATVing in Minnesota!

Wow! We just missed them. We just got back from Washburn today. Spent the week riding trails around Bayfield County. Came back on Hwy 13. Should have gone back thru Hurley. Hope they don't get shut down by the DNR. Some counties are closing the trails because the fire danger is extremely high.
