Millwood is just a little east of where you staged.
A little about Millwood:
The Millwood OHV area, with 25 miles of OHV routes, offers the largest variety of riding and four wheeling opportunities from relatively easy, to more challenging routes such as the Goodmill 4-wheel drive route or the Old Shay Rail Road motorcycle route. The Millwood OHV Staging Area offers parking, picnic tables, a restroom, and several dispersed campsites within the vicinity.
For the most challenging routes for the more experienced off-roaders, a quick trip from Millwood, up the Abbott Creek Road, provides an elevation gain to 7000' for cooler weather and access to Hoist Ridge or Park Ridge. Access to Park Ridge is also available from Cherry Gap, Hume Lake via the Christian Conference or from Bearskin Grove by riding up the very challenging Huckleberry Route.

Now that looks like some nice riding (except for the deep snow). We should come up with a 3-4 dayer for the area. Were there any trails similar to the Swamp Lake ride there? IOW could we expect to cover a decent amount of ground with out tearing the machines and bodies up?
Your website looks better all the time - thanks. |

| Thats what I'm thinking Pat. You could easily spend 3 days exloring this area. And the only one tougher than Swamp would be the Dusy Ershim in this area. We'll get to that soon enough. Heck, I bet we could even get ole Jon down here to do that trail. |
