    I went to see Weird Al yesterday with my brother and nephew. I was so impressed with the whole show! At 65, to do all the costume changes, and perform the way he does is just so impressive to me! Plus, the whole band are top shelf musicians.

    Laundry day, then a shower. By then, maybe I can check into my camping spot.

    I've seen him in concert twice. He puts on such a great show, definitely the best concerts I've ever been to.

    If anybody wants a road trip tomorrow, meeting in the parking lot at the Iron Range OHV park at 10:30 (Gilbert MN). Should be fun...

    It sounds tempting but I think I will wait until y'all do a Tigerton trip to tag along on.
    Tigerton seems much more forgiving and is about the same distance for me.

    I will report back. From what I have heard and seen this is a step up in difficulty from Tigerton.

    My first time out there was with a practically stock truck and I didn't leave the easy core trails, just AT tires and engine/trans skids. I just went there to test out my bike racks to make sure they could hold up to the bouncing around. And I wanted the license plate tag for off roading in MN, since they sell it there.
    Second trip I had some upgrades, bigger AT tires, fuel skid, and steel bumpers but no sliders. I did all the green trails and on one of the blue trails I came very close to hitting my side step into my rocker.
    But since I have gotten sliders I just haven't been out there again, I'd go again with an experienced group that wasn't going to push too hard. And no offense, you go a little harder than I like lol.

    No offense taken. I do play hard... I didn't get the little blinking light warning that this might not be a good idea. Makes for great stories...

    Pictures do it no justice. The sheer size is amazing. I saw a guy yesterday with a range finder and thought that was a great idea. I wonder if it had enough range...
