Re: ride this weekend?

Re: Jan 4 Minto flats

You can't drive to the boat launch in the winter - except on a snowmachine. We have to unload at the Murphy Dome Parking lot and Tim can lead the way from there.

Re: Jan 4 Minto flats

The road off Murphy Dome to the boat launch is quickest to the Dunbar - it was improved with the fire two summers ago. The road takes you directly to the Dunbar. Also, sometimes there can be nasty overflow on the Chatanika. A nice loop is: - Take the road from the parking lot to the Chatanika where ...
