When is everyone going up there? We will be going up on Thursday and should get there about noon and are going to hit the trails. For those that have rode these trails before, do you need to carry gas with to run both trails or is there a gas supply near the trails so you don't need to use canned gas? The trail lengths together would warrant filling up to do the whole system and get back.

I guess we are going to stop in Moose Lake on Thursday morning and ride the Soo Line South to Dehnam Run for lunch (the best burgers around) and then take the kids to Wakahn (spelling?) on the south end of Mille Lacs Lake for ice cream cones then back to Moose Lake to load up and drive to Silver Bay in the afternoon it should be a good 115 mile run. See ya all in Silver Bay...............

Latest Update In just a few days Silver Bay will be buzzing with ATV’s and we will be on our way to breaking the Worlds Longest ATV Parade Record. There are a couple of things that I would like to touch on: The ATV Parade will go on RAIN or SHINE For those that have pre-registered you will receive your T-Shirts when you check in and receive your parade packet at the staging field in front of the AmericanInn Motel on Hwy # 61 in Silver Bay MN. Registration is Friday 3-9 pm and Saturday 7:30-10:30 am due to the amount of people that are going to be present please come early we need everyone at the staging field so we have time to get every ATV lined up to start on time There are a few guide lines that we must meet for this event to be considered by Guinness Book of World Records ATV’s must be registered for the parade to participate in the parade Once the parade starts all ATV’s must stay in the same order as when the parade began If you’re ATV breaks down please push it to the side immediately so the parade can continue There must be a 4-5 foot gap between the ATV’s no more no less Guinness has set guide lines for the length of the parade so please follow the ATV in front of you, DO NOT STOP to look at the rest of the ATV Parade we need to keep the parade moving Per Guinness guidelines we must video this parade in three different locations this is why we must stay in order and no gaps, Guinness will securitize each video and count each ATV Please have patience I believe they are closing the ATV trails this week-end and early next week so they have the opportunity to repair them due to the rain they have received in the last couple of days Silver Bay has invited us into their community please be respectful Ride as everybody watching and Talk as everybody is listening

Short of the record, or short of 2,500 Don? I was in about the 35th row from the start, and there were another 15 or so rows next to me, for about 50 rows. So if there were approx 30 machines per row, that would make approx 1,500 machines total. That should at least break the record. I know it took 45 minutes from the start before I even turned a wheel..........it was amazing to watch all those machines. Aux

I hope your right...The old record is 1,138 ....might have counted wrong but thought we were in 35th row with 2 more left ....and could have sworn one of the counters said 983 as I passed them..LOL Your right it was very cool!! Guy I was with took some video and we will post that here.... they are going to have an unofficial announcement at the auction tonight but I didn't know anyone staying to have them call me with the number Last edited on Sat Jun 14th, 2008 09:58 pm by outlandish ____________________ Previous BRPs: 03 Rally 200, 03 Outty 400, 05 Outty 400 XT, 06 Outty 800, 07 Renegade 800 Ridden in 6 states and 2 countries Next up? 2010 BRP Side by Side |

I could have counted wrong too. It was difficult to keep the rows seperated when you start talking that many people and machines. I was towards the back of my row, and we were mostly going by what the volunteers were telling us as they were guiding traffic. So they could have been a little over optimistic. They talked about making the unofficial count between 6:30 and 7, so that should be any minute now. I am going to call a few of the folks I was riding with and see if they decided to stay or not. I will post if I hear anything. Mike

Here is the only pic I got before my dam camera died....in the back is the staging area. There are probably 4-500 wheelers back there at that time. Attachment: parade.jpg (Downloaded 98 times)

Most of the others I was riding left came home early as well, and the one guy that is still there is not answering his cell. Here are some pictures my wonderful wife took of the event while she was running around with our son in his walking stroller. Attachment: The start.jpg (Downloaded 96 times)
