ATV trip on Sunday

Paul and I headed out on our first trip Sunday afternoon down winter cutting road to Stumpy Lake. The very first part of the trip is on the old existing road and from there its just carved out of the landscape. Rocky high areas and swampy low areas with rocks and trees holding the road up in the really wet spots. In some spots we made it through because the ground was still frozen. We made it down to the end but the trail ends before the lake we walked the rest of the way in to a small bay at the north end of Stumpy. The first pic is part of the trail through two outcrops and the other a sensitive part of the boreal forest.

So what you're saying is, it is still extremely difficult to get into Stumpy? (:

Ahhh, the perfect day for a ride, no snow, sun, and no blackflies

Karen,
You could drive quite comfortably around by way of Beauty Lake and get to Stumpy. Only a short walk 150 feet to the lake.

Really? I don't think the fishermen in my family know that! Thanks for the tip!
