Marinette County, WI

Not sure where to put this, but I want to give a shout out to the DunGood Riders and Kevin Rocque in Goodman WI. Wife and I went riding up there for a few days last week. Kevin owns the 8-Hi just outside Goodman and is a sponsor of the DunGood Riders club. He and his family own a 3 bedroom house next door that they rent out for ATV and snowmobile riders. $75 a night for this great house is a good deal! House comes complete with the use of the garage, dishwasher, washer/dryer, complete kitchen and everything you need to work them. Towels, linens, soap and all. The only thing we took with us that we used was shampoo! Kevin is a good guy too, runs the 8-Hi club next door. Bar, restaurant, convenience store and gas station. He is a sponsor of the DunGood Riders and having stayed there, I can highly recommend this facility. The way I found it was on the DunGood Riders web site. Well worth the money and time!

Trails were in good shape, but dusty. A local told us they haven’t had rain for about a month so that’s not too surprising. Granted we were up there during the week, (Wed and Thurs) but had the the trails pretty much to ourselves and ran into groomers both days on the trails. We put on around 220 miles over the 2 days of riding, and had a blast! Some of the trails are fire roads, but there are some 1 track trails with obstacles to deal with too. I could see how there would be some mud and water to deal with if it hadn’t been so dry. Trails were well marked as were the forest roads so it was fairly simple to figure out where we were at with a map. The Dungood Riders do a great job of keeping up with the trails! The trails out of Pembine weren’t marked as well, but we were able to figure out where we were at easy enough. Trails there were in good shape too. Saw a groomer in that area too. We came of a particularly winding and more technical section, I had the wife leading so I would always know where she was. We stopped at an intersection and she commented first about how much fun that had been….Damn, I married the right woman all those years ago….Gotta love a girl who isn’t afraid to pee on the trail!

Since its about 300 miles from us, it isn’t a weekend trip, but we will go back next summer.
