The Inside Road from Polebridge to Fish Creek

Oliver Meister — Wed, 09 May 2012 14:43:43 +0000

here is one of the white Glacier Lilies that grow along the inside road.

.. great day for a ride down the inside road. Bring your sandals to get across the south fork of Logging Creek. After that the tree hopping starts, I stopped counting after 50- but nothing bad, no clusters, just a few tight squeezes. Saw several bull elk, a cinnamon colored black bear and a sand hill crane, all within the worst of the downfall, of course I was going slow enough not to miss anything.

Biking up to Kintla Lake

Oliver Meister — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 02:12:20 +0000

This must have been one of my earliest rides to Kintla Lake ever, the road was beautifully dry and smooth, what a treat!

I was still huffing and puffing every little hill…

Two elk bulls in Round Prairie- minus antlers!

Here is the new Kintla Creek Bridge under construction…

to be finished before summer gets going…

Ride to Logging Creek Ranger Station

The south fork of logging creek is on the move across the inside road again, I think I’ll wear sandals next time I head further south. Good bike riding so far this spring, roads are drying quickly, there is still the occasional ice patch and log to jump. Over the logs I actually get off and step over or around, unless I yearn for a busted clavicle. Happy spring riding!

First Bike Ride into Big Prairie

Oliver Meister — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 21:41:31 +0000

Here is a take of the restored McCarthy Homestead on Big Prairie. Excellent day for the first bike ride of the season, the inside north fork road is still very, very muddy and snow covered but sure beats what we had for the last couple of months as far as bike riding goes. There are also still plenty of snow and ice patches on the road, I didn’t make it past the turnoff to the juniper tree. It’s melting fast but in case you’re up for a muddy ride…

As every year professors Sarah Halvorson and Rick Graetz bring a group of students to the north fork and pretty much take over the place…
