    There's some cool roads in that area between Rock Dam and Hatfield.
    Just north of Black Rivers Falls.

    I'm pretty sure we went through there on the "ice road truckers" trip a few winters back.

    Definitely looks like an area worth exploring. I seem to recall seeing some interesting looking stuff on the aerial pic. Just need to figure out what are roads vs ATV trails, etc..


    ..love? I'm sure that's what you meant. :D

    Well, to keep from going insane and get the truck a little dirty, I ran up to Crivitz last weekend for some turkey hunting for the first time. Left here around 3:30ish Friday afternoon,scouted, made some dinner at a buddy's cabin, had some beers and crashed at 11ish.

    Popped back up around 3:30am to sneak into our spot. Does came around until the chorizo and potatoes built up enough pressure to be let out by one of the guys :rofl:
    Messenger_creation_3EA352BD-E84F-4918-BBCC-063782CB2649.jpg

    Then finally got some action around 8ish when some Jakes came in to put a beat down on the decoy. Considered taking one but they never separated enough to get a clean shot. The one I locked onto to suddenly decided to tuck and stay still.....

    Then a big Tom came in on our right with his hens. They tried calling him in but he just strutted and let the jakes go right past him. Hens led everyone the opposite way. Ton of bramble in the way and it was way too far of a shot for comfort. Screenshot_20250426-104621~2.png

    Overall a fun little getaway. Most of the roads we drove on were on private land but there is some beautiful scenery up there.

    Ended up really jealous of @LarryDangerfield having it all right there but the guy definitely takes advantage and gets out there to enjoy it. He's got the pictures to prove it!

    Hey y'all!

    Going to work on details for the May 24 mod day.

    Let me know:

    -if you plan to attend

    -if you have projects, or intend to help/heckle

    I know @Pixeltim needs his new suspension installed.

    Please plan on bringing tools. I have basic stuff, but not sure if we need any specialty tools for the Tacoma suspension swap and whatever else we're doing. Plus, we can split into teams and tackle the front and rear at the same time.

    I have a floor jack and 2 sets of jack stands. I do not have a creeper, but not sure if we need one.

    I'll add information to the OP as I get it.

    I'll bring a bunch of tools with.
    I don't have taller jackstands, if someone can make sure we have enough stands.

    Double checked with my wife....I'm clear to come help.

    You need to follow along closer...

    This just a couple of weeks ago...then the discussion as to what height they should be set to. Hence, the need for a mod day.
