Happy Halloween
We are on the road today, we are off to bike on the Tuscobia State Trail
This 74-mile trail on a former rail corridor is one of the longest
rail trails in the state, running from Park Falls to the Wild Rivers
State Trail just north of Rice Lake. The trail passes through part of
the Flambeau River State Forest and the rugged wilderness of
Wisconsin's Blue Hills. The trail connects seven small communities in
Barron, Washburn, Sawyer and Price counties, each providing year-round
accommodations and services.
We are off on the trail. Heading into the "Old Forest". The boys thought this looked like the trail Frodo takes in the Lord of The Rings.
I will admit, this is my first long bike ride on rough terrain. I was proud of how well I did.

The following is from the Wisconsin DNR Tuscobia State Trail website ~
Walking and bicycling
The entire trail is open to walking and bicycling year-round, though bicycling is not recommended. The trail is not groomed or surfaced and may be rough or soft in many sections. If you plan to bike the trail, the tread is more suitable for off-road bikes.
The trail was very nice for off-road bikes.
We walked down a hill that had a wash out area, not wanting to hit a big bump.
Thank you for coming along today.
Trick or Treat
On October evenings in Sleepy Hollow, when the wind is crying through the trees and the firelight makes familiar faces seem ghostly and unknown, that is when the stories are told...

Do you think you would walk down this trail on an October evening?
Boo!
Looks like a lot of fun! All I could think when I was looking at those top pictures, though, was, OMG all the leaves are gone already! You guys have a fast fall, don't you? Is it already cold there? It's just now getting cold here in Nashville and it seems too soon to us. It'll probably shoot back up to the 70s next week.

It looks like it would be refreshing and so enjoyable. I envy you the fresh air and exercise.....being a lazy lady myself. =)
ReplyDeleteLol.. Nope! I wouldn't go for the walk on a cool eerie Friday night! Love the comparison of the trail to Frodo's trail... I agree!
ReplyDeleteCarla, What a gorgeous post! LOOK at that trail and those leaves! What a fun trip you had! Nope- won't catch me on that lane at night...not me....lol xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely Autumn bike ride ~ I can hear the crisp leaves under the tires and smell that lovely Autumn in the forrest air ~ ahh . Love it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love that bike ride through the trees! xxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice trail. My gramma had a long drive on her farm that was tree lined on both sides. Those ash trees turned yellow in Autumn and it was fun riding our bikes along it. You are making wonderful memories with your boys. Hope they had a great Halloween! Janice
ReplyDeleteWalk down on that trail on an October evening? Uh. . .no. I'd ride a bike on it, though. In broad daylight. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect activity in late October! Love all your beautiful pictures :-)
