We're looking to possibly have a comp up that way this Summer, You guys have a good area for a big group, with parking not to far, and fairly accessible? Lets get something in the works. |

Wow! Yes a comp would be great! I also would like to come down to a couple events in Taylor Falls this summer. We had a consistant small group last summer. Through the winter we have got a few new guys with crawlers. Oh djjiz you get your losi yet? |

Freetime: We have a guy that wants to run a series here. I'll see if he can post here and if not I'll see if he is alright with me giving his # out. As far as easy access I think Enger is all we got but even that could be a walk depending on course setup. There's three general areas to the property with different style of terrain in each area. Not huge variations but there is a difference worth noting. Bill: Its in first place. |

At the last MNRCRC meeting, they talked about having 1 comp from each Spring/Summer series, and Summer/Fall series away from Taylors. I'll have to post a poll and find out what date works best for most. I myself am looking forward to crawling somewhere else beside Taylors. |

How accessible does this have to be? That would help narrow down the area we need. Enger is PACKED with good lines but you have to go down a trail or two to find them. Next time bring a local lol. |

| I guess that depends if Stormin or Maddjack are planning on traveling. I kind of doubt it since Stormin is still fighting with that ecoli, but we'll let him post up if he's inerested.

We've done some work digging and clearing last year that opened a lot of lines up above twin ponds and by the power line side. There's no comparing taylors to duluth no matter where we go. Jay cooke could work by the dam but there's no power. What's NEEDED besides rocks and parking to host a comp? |

I agree that Taylor Falls is the SUPREME crawling spot but we got what we got and have to deal with it. I was born and raised here and there is a ton of spots to crawl but for comps.....Enger Tower is where it's at to be fair to everyone besides the parking.... and Jay Cooke we WILL run into issues if we just start parking on the side of the road or even IF we find a little parking area to use the whole thing-not only is it wrong and rude but it is a hike to get to the good spots and I am not going to lug my back up needs into the woods for one. | |

Anyone been to Thomson? It's a little town after jay Cooke and before cloquet that has parking and is accessable. I have pics on photobucket.com ( search for djjiz ) to give you a general idea of what were working with there. I can cut and paste on my phone so if someone finds the link please post it up for me. |

While wheel chair accessibility is a plus, it is not a requirement for alternate locations.
