deer river/talmoon area

[glenn57]

Think we stopped there the last time we went down Hwy 6.

in Emily or crosby????? Emily to me is a tourist trap type area with fifty lakes and all the other lakes in the area.

Crosby, but I just found out that they're putting in some new culverts on 169 in Garrison & won't be done until noon tomorrow & we'll be through there before that. So, we're going to go over & hit 65 now, I think.

Gunner, if you’re staying on 65, the gas in Ham Lake was $2.94 to $2.96 yesterday. The BP snd Speedy at Constance and the Holiday at Crosstown.

I run the Victory Auto across the highway from that BP and Speedy your talking about and they most times have the cheapest fuel in the area. If anyone needs propane in the area the BP is super cheap on that too.

[Gunner55]

  Thanks guys, but we decided to go over & hit I 35 just north of Hinckley.

[glenn57]

just checked the webcams..........no activity at Geigers??  nothing at lakewood either???

boats at the narrows and the big bog cam.......not as many as i thought i'd see????

[Gunner55]

There was 2 boats, besides their pontoon, at Lakewood's dock yday by 3:00. They were there early today too, so they must be out now.

[Gunner55]

There's been a steady stream going through the Narrows the last 5-10 minutes.

Just seen on book of faces that Winnie outpost had posted yesterday the traffic on hwy 2 going into deer river  About the area Orty's meats is. Backed up a long ways.

They were limiting the amount of bait each person could get.

[glenn57]

Here's the picture they posted.

[Gunner55]

  I only see ~ 5 boats!

pretty much that way every opener on friday afternoon.....somewhat similar to big 3 day weekends...and deer hunting too.....depends on time of day also...........why i go up few days earlier and leave later.

i have a golden rule.........NEVER go up the weekend of..mayhaps deer hunting...... but i find i get the area pretty much to myself the weekend prior or after the big ones!!!

back in the day i was working in the shop.......weelends........especially fridays got filled  with people taking vacation days......most employers only allow i limited # of people  gone on any given day.......i took mondays off....weather was the best on sunday afternoon and we watched everyone else go home!!!! 

[Gunner55]

  If we travel on Friday, which doesn't happen very often, we're going the other direction & normally south of the metro by 10 or 11. Going up we're usually having breakfast at Sportman's in DR by about 7-7:30 & it's the middle of the week.

[LPS]

When I worked and took long weekends on hunting and fishing trips I took off early on Fri but I took Monday off too.  Otherwise the extra day off Friday was gone right away.  With Monday off I could look forward to my extra day all weekend.

[Gunner55]

Watched the neighbor putting his Ranger in yday ~ 9:15 on Lakewood's web cam, so I called him last night. He said he had a heck of a time getting it off the trailer. Real smokey up there yday too. Close as he could tell, they only had people in 2 cabins over the weekend. Geiger's is sayin on FB that they have 280' of dock out. Looks like there's 7 boats tied up there early today.

[LPS]

That's a hike to the end of that dock. 

[Gunner55]

   Must have taken that corner too fast. 

[glenn57]

wonder where thats at??? think there was a grocery store on the corner of 371 coming into town.

pretty sure the first original Teals store originated in Cass lake but think they got rid of that one!!

[LPS]

Ya I thought that was a Teals too.  Teals bought out the big grocery store in Luverne too.  A friend owned the big store at the time and bought out the other small ones and made a huge store.  Great success.  That is what Teals bought from him.

it seems thats what they do.....about a year ago they bought out 2 stores south of red wing somewhere.....and one in WI!!!

[Scenic]

 I seen this yesterday morning.  It looked to me like he turned a bit to fast and the load was not secured down properly.   Looked like when the load shifted it took the truck with it. 

That used to be Teals but became Leech Lake Market about a year ago. 

[glenn57]

Got bored, took a little drive to check out landings at different lakes, they,very definitely improved some.

Stopped for a couple things at the spring lake store and ran into a guy I used to pick horseshoes with years ago.  He also let us bear hunt his property.  First thing he asked if we still hunt them  thinking he wanted someone to rid him of a bear that's been trying to get his chickens.  But since where he's at and they changed zones we don't go that way.

He said the DNR used to live trap them nuisance bears, but they nixed that.... now guess if you have bear issues.... ya deal with it the other way.   .

Drove over to the north access on Bow Tuesday. It came up a lot and with more rain after that I would think it will be usable for our next trip.
