Nicolet NF - NE Wisconsin (last weekend) w/ PICTURES!

[yellocoyote]

Some of my photos from the weekend (and what a great weekend it was)! :badger_1:

Spotted this guy on the way in to our campsite location - we watched him land in the tree, and luckily he hung around long enough for me to snap a couple of pictures. (cool)

Despite only having 3 vehicles total, I think it's safe to say that we all had a really good time. The overnights were chilly, but not overly so. We all stayed warm. I ran this in 2WD and only got stuck in the mud once. It's always good to have friends along. Unfortunately we got there about 2-3 weeks before the autumn leaves really popped with color... they were just starting this weekend. Will have to remember to go later in the year.

Vicki (jeepfrog) has a lot of great photos too - I hope she posts some of hers.

It was a lot of fun! I just wish we spent more time in Nicolet. We cut our time short after I slipped in some mud and banged up my knee really well. Ah well, there's always next year!

Great Pics! I have to start getting my Jeep ready (aka save money.. haha) to go out with you guys

 

[jeepfrog]

Jaber - most (if not all) of the trails we hit a stocker could handle quite easily.

 

[Jeepman56]

Looks like a great time. I love the trails in Nicolet, some of the most scenic northwoods that most will never see. Jaber: I second that your stocker could do most trails up there. My avatar was taken in those same woods, three days after I bought it. Most obstacles have enough room to navigate around them if you aren't comfortable tackling them.

 

[Jaber]

Nice, thanks for the information everyone

Great pics, looks like a fun time was had by all.

And ya didn't break anything.:killit:

Hmm...I'm not so sure about that. I think Matt may have messed up a control arm???

I think that most (if not all) of the national forests have old access/logging roads that are open to full size vehicles. Check the forest service website for the national forest near you! (PSA over...) :badger_1:

I wish we had some near my hometown too - this was a 5-6 hour drive north of where we live. So worth it.

Not officially. I went up with only 2wd capabilities (waiting on the new front diff) - I'm pretty sure that's why I got stuck.

Matt (in the XJ) already had a few things wrong with his jeep... he trailered it
to Nicolet instead of driving it.

But, no... nothing broke that we weren't already aware of.



Oh... just FYI... we do a trip up there every year (this was my 4th year). Normally we go in the fall, although we were talking this time about maybe a trip late summer next year. I'll post more info when we get another weekend trip in the works. Stay tuned.

Thanks for posting the trip pics guys.
It's good to see friends hanging out having a good time.

 

[yellocoyote]

Wish you were closer... you would have really dug this place.

 

[Ry' N Jen]

Looks like you folks had a good time.
Thanks for sharing your photo's Jayme.

I really like this one.
