Sometimes Livin' the dream doesn't always have to revolve around landing a 30 pound muskie or 10 pound walleye. There are so many resources and activities that are at our fingertips daily that we sometimes forget to take advantage of them. Yesterday evening Dusty and I took advantage of a "hot tip" that we received, and this time it wasn't a fishing related honey hole. We loaded up the 4-wheelers for one of the most intense and exciting rides of our lives. I never would have thought about such an activity if it weren't for a few local guys that do this with regularity. We trailered our wheelers to a bridge, and drove out onto the river. Yep, that's right, the river. Now normally I would say this is ridiculous, but the river that we drove on is almost like a creek.
It is very shallow, very narrow, and doesn't have a lot of current, therefore it pretty much freezes to the bottom with no worries about falling through. The winding corners and the fallen timber makes this one of the sweetest obstacle courses you could ever imagine on 4 wheels. We probably put on 40 miles cruising every which direction with the stream, and every corner gave us a new obstacle. If you haven't done something like this with your rides, I strongly recommend it. What a blast! And to think, this has been in my backyard for years without me ever taking advantage of it. Just another activity to add to the list that just keeps on growing. What a ride! And that's how I like to "Live the Dream!"
