Great day of riding at the lake and down the pipe line, lots of snow on the offshoots. Any one know which weekend NewBrook is having there Poker rally.

I heard it was cancelled this year out of respect to the farmers with crop left in the fields....the rally usually runs through a bunch of farmland before it hits the White mud valley and they didn't want to cause any issues....but maybe someone on here knows more about it.

Was out riding around long lake Saturday and people we ran into said no chance of newbrook rally this year due to crops.

Thanks for the update about the Poker rally, we have to respect the landowners.

This is what I was also told by Kevin L when I called him about the rally....should be accurate as he sets up the Rally.

Not trying to be an ass but curious what would damage the old crop under the snow? Does it push the frost into the ground deeper?

they will harvest it in the spring, so flatting it won’t help

A ripe crop is quite fragile....any disturbance can cause the seeds to fall out of the heads / pods and onto the ground. Then all that is left is useless straw. Please stay away from any standing crop or swaths left out there.

Didn't help that some wing nuts apparently got lost and then cut some fences to get back to the flagged rally.
Kevin called me but could not help him find said wing nuts.
Pretty sure Ray had to help him fix the fence.
Good guys, they relocked my gates after rally was done.

Any Snow and Ice reports for the new season?

 

[snochuk]

Any reports on ice depth, thinking of coming out and using some Class C walleye tags.

Was a limited time offer from Polaris on unequal length A-arms ( left to right side) for a waaaaay tighter turning radius.
Only available on the 2020 XP Ranger models.

Or else the wheels are turned and the picture not taken straight on.
LMAO
Mulching again on Wednesday, be about 7 miles when done.
