If gathering at garrison area where do ya all park ? Dose everyone just drive out on the lake?
I'm hoping to be up there. If I dont make it everyone have a great time and Bryce I'm really interested in the kite camping idea. Later ML

Had a good time at turtle today. Hoping everything worked out well for Nathan and wishing him a speedy recovery. Mark L

Once your in the air there wont be any sideon wind dir. the kites leading edge will be into the wind and you'll be dangling below it and you will be moving the dir. that the wind is blowing. Thats the only option you really have unless you gain alot of altitude and these kites have some forward spee...

I spend alot of time out at night. I picked up a Petzel light that straps around anything. It works great for setting up then when I'm cruising if others are around I just put it on the Red blinky mode otherwise turn it off. Midwest has them and they come in handy for all sorts of things you cant go...

Coburns is a great place. I was there a couple weeks ago flying a 4 mtr Blade getting dragged all over the place lots of fun I cant wait to try the area with some snow. Theres even convenient parking right along the street

Thanks Ed How is it out there hope you guys are having a good time.Also what part of the lake are you on in case we head that direction Sun? Mark L

Which ottertail lake is this?

Cool video Looks like you were having a good time. And now that's how I remember the snowbanks when I was growing up. Mark L

Looks like Corey and I are heading to Millacs bright and early. So if anyone else is gonna be up that way post something before 6 am and maybe we can have a Mini end of season gathering. Hope to see some others up there. It might be the last chance Mark L

Well I'm glad everything worked out. Kites can be fixed or replaced. You had me going with the Shark thing glad that wasn't real. That wouldn't have ended well. Thanks for sharing that experience. Mark L.

For those of you that have been to Coburns. How much snow do we need to make that work? That area looks like it could be alot of fun. Yesterday I was at Calhoun and walked out on that dock and was still able to break through the ice with a hockey stick. Now if only there was a board that worked on w...

So where is this place again? I think I went by it on the way to Millacs once but still wasn't sure where people were kiting near there. Only wound up with a couple inches in my neighborhood I was really hoping for more snow. Oh well. Maybe I'll see ya up there.

Kite island is where I'm heading . Hope some othrs show up. Mark L

I'm thinking about heading to kite island around 9pm and go all night. Fri I was at whitebear from about 3am till sunrise and it was great nice fresh snow and cruising in silence. One person actually startled me when he opened his fish house door and said Hi as I went by. Mark L

I think I might make it out again.

Was up on this lake last Saturday. Perfect day, steady wind until the front came in. Few inches of powder over hard packed. A few fish houses and ice roads to watch out for or jump over if you dare! Might head back up there again if there is wind this weekend! Check out the gallery for a few picks!...

I think we should organize and rob banks at night so we can ride during the day. I have it all figured out, but everyone just laughs at me. ...except Nick Peterson. He was down with it! :wink: Sounds like a possibility. Just one thought though do the banks even have any money in them? I would hate ...

Hope you make a speedy recovery and can get back to doing the things you enjoy. Mark L.

I've been kicking around the idea of heading out that way for both events and kiting anywhere I can for the week between. Just not really sure I want to spend that much money right now. Who knows.

Or you could wrap your needle nose with some electrical tape. That should do the trick.
