I heard back from 2 people from Itasca County officials and here is the latest and greatest report: work is continuing but they’re behind a little; the full phase one part of the trail they expected to be complete right now isn’t and won’t be ’till this fall (if it continues as planned).
As I look at the maps and read the information available, phase 1 is the most important part for us up north! When phase 1 is complete, we can leave from Pengilly and ride all the way to McGregor. I got some pretty good email back from the county people so if you want more info shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you!
When this trail is done I WILL be on it! I’m gonna make a weekend out of it and leave from Pengilly, stay in Aitkin for the night and come back the next day! See you on the trails!
