Wisconsin Roll Call

[WIDirtFishing]

Anyone going to the Bronco Super Celebration in the Wisconsin Dells later this summer in July?

I have never even been to a car meet. The only large scale car thing I have been to is the Twin Cities auto show.

Do they put this on every year in the Dells?
Or is like a traveling location style show. This year in the Dells next year chicago year after that Michigan etc..?

Was at the Dells last year...I'm assuming they are gonna keep it there every year

Cool! never been that way before. We used to go to the Pxxxline every Memorial day weekend till they started closing it till 6/1. You have any idea if they are still doing that? Or have we served our punishment long enough? I was up there for Labor day weekend last year and all seemed good, actually looked like some areas had been repaired. Duck ponds have been backfilled, and the deterent fence has been removed. Hoping to get a WI 6g Bronco invasion going up there sometime this year!

They closed it entirely earlier this year because people were rutting it all the way down to the pipe. It sounds like a permanent closure. There are a number of decent trails just west of there. I usually start at hwy f and dixie rd just south east of the mccaslin mountain campground.

Well I guess I will see you guys in 2025! That's BS BTW. Nobody get's anywhere close to the pipe anywhere but area 26, which we have been routed around for 8 years now. There's another way to get to thunder mountain, but I don't remember how. I suppose I can stop redacting the names now!

EDIT: so what you have highlighted there is the back way from Mcaslin mountain to Thunder mountain, question is can you still do the thunder mountain rock crawl? I believe another FR splits off at the top, and the route to A26 via the 2 mud bogs is fenced (has been for a long time, but the fence is easily bypassed...not that I would ever do that!). Or is the trail shutdown at the N fork Thunder river bridge?

Is that the same as "rock hill" or "the rock garden" just south of the river crossing? If so I think there's a number of side cuts from the west that I doubt they will take the time to block.

Generally called "Thunder mountain rock garden" on some maps like Onx. We always just called it "Thunder mountain". Probably the most technical part of the Pipeline cause it's always different. Years ago you had to ford that little river, then sometime in early 2000s they built that little bridge, then there's a washout that has rocks in the bottom, where stock Jeeps tend to hang up on an axle tube, and after that little washout it transitions from sand to sand+rocks to all rocks w/a bypass on the RH side (if going up, coming down it's on the left). I hope that area is still accessible...IDK what the June "jeep camp" will do if it isn't...it's always the highlight of their trail ride. Since the closure of "area 26" I have accessed it from Bucks ranch road, which runs east into Caldron Falls road, which is where the guy who host's the Jeep camp's property is. Previously we would enter the Pipeline off hwy W and do the whole N half of the trail making Thunder mountain last. Either way it's always the highlight of a Pipeline run. Glad I did it last Labor day weekend in my 6G! Hope you can scout a way to it...PM me if you find out more!

Hello fellow Wisconsinites, I am in Southeastern WI, have 2023 Wildtrak. Wheels/tires for sale. Also, Bora wheel spacers 1.25", and the SAS fender flares. Under 3,000 miles. Like new. The spacers bring the wheels to 0 offset.

Yes! Just purchased the ticket yesterday. I've been looking forward to it since last year's.

Sounds like there's going to need more better rides now too!

Hi All! Has anyone visited Bentley Hills ATV park with their Bronco near Sand Valley/Lake Petenwell?

It sounds like ORVs may not technically supposed to be on the trails, but they’re seen there quite often. I vacation in that area quite often, and would love to test out the trails.

I'm up here in north central Wisconsin. I usually just take the PW to MOAB when I can.

Ran most of the 7 hr plane crash trail yesterday. Due to the lack of rain the trail is boring as hell. Even the usually deep mud section near the border is just dry ruts. I never took it out of 2h. I wouldn't bother with it until we get some good rain.

Does anyone know of any trails nearby in decently challenging shape right now?

Its a little way off yet, but are you gonna do "spirit of the northwoods" at JJUSA Aug 18-20? Supposedly they did some new trail builds there and they are kinda hairy. I was gonna go to last weeks trail build, but couldn't swing it w/fathers day plans
