SOME PEOPLE TRAVEL BY

TRAINS,
AND AUTOMOBILES,
BUT HERE IN NORTHWESTERN
WISCONSIN IT'S ALL ABOUT
MOTORSPORTS ALL YEAR
LONG!

(JACK VO)
TODAY I'M IN SAWYER
COUNTY,
THE 5TH LARGEST COUNTY
IN WISCONSIN,
AND HOME TO VAST
EXPANSES OF PRISTINE
NORTHWOODS,
WILDERNESS LAKES,
AND EXTENSIVE TRAIL
SYSTEMS THAT CONNECT
EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN!
(JACK)
TALK TO ME ABOUT RIDING
THE TRAILS HERE IN
SAWYER COUNTY.
WHY DO YOU ENJOY RIDING
HERE SPECIFICALLY IN
THIS PART OF WISCONSIN?
(TIM)
WELL FROM MY HOUSE,
I CAN RIDE PRETTY MUCH
ANYWHERE I WANT IN
SAWYER COUNTY.
THE CLUBS AROUND HERE
ALL WORK TOGETHER TO
MAKE THE TRAILS NICE FOR
THIS AREA,
AND IT KIND OF WAS THE
BIRTHPLACE FOR
UTVING/ATVING,
SO THAT'S WHY WE CHOSE
THIS AREA TO MOVE,
AND TO RETIRE IN,
AND TO RIDE IN!
(JACK)
WHAT FEELING DO YOU
HAVE WHEN YOU'RE OUT
RIDING THE TRAILS BY
YOURSELF?
(TIM)
OH,
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST
BEST FEELINGS THERE IS!
I MEAN YOU'RE JUST OUT
ABSORBING THE SUN AND
THE WIND.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE
SCENERY,
YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THE
THINGS YOU'VE
ACCOMPLISHED IN YOUR
LIFE.
FOR ME,
BEING RETIRED,
THAT'S WHAT I DO.
(JACK)
AND WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE
AS I'M RIDING ON THE
TRAILS?
(TIM)
HAVE A BLAST.
ENJOY IT.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL
ABOUT!
(JACK)
TODAY I RODE AROUND ON
THE TRAILS WITH TIM
DAVISON,
AND HE TRUSTED ME ENOUGH
TO DRIVE HIS UTV!
(TIM)
WE'RE ABOUT 20 MILES
EAST OF HAYWARD.
WE'RE ON THE EDGE OF THE
CHEQUAMEGON NATIONAL
FOREST.
IT'S THE LIGHT GREEN
THERE.
WE'LL BE ON THE
CHEQUAMEGON NATIONAL
FOREST UNTIL WE GET DOWN
TO THE CHIPPEWA FLOWAGE.
(JACK)
IT WAS THE PERFECT DAY
FOR RIDING UTVS.
THE TRAILS WERE AWESOME.
THEY WEREN'T TOO DUSTY.
THEY WERE REALLY WELL
MAINTAINED.
WE ALSO SAW A LOT OF
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
TERRAIN.
WE WENT UP HILLS.
WE SAW A LOT OF TIGHT
BENDS.
WE WENT DOWN VALLEYS AND
THERE WERE ALSO SOME
REALLY PRETTY CLEARINGS.
AND TO JUST BE UP NORTH
AMONGST THE BIG TREES,
RIDING THE TRAILS,
WAS A TON OF FUN.
(JACK)
RIDING THE ATVS IS A
LOT OF FUN,
BUT TODAY RIDING THESE
UTVS,
I CAN DEFINITELY SEE HOW
IT'S VERY FAMILY
FRIENDLY.
(KATE)
MOST ALL TRAILS IN
SAWYER COUNTY ARE NOT
DIFFICULT.
NOW THAT WE'RE MORE ATV
AND UTV FRIENDLY,
YOU SEE MORE FAMILIES
OUT THERE BECAUSE THEY
CAN RIDE ALONG - 4
SEATERS AND 2 SEATERS -
YOU SEE MOMS AND DADS
OUT THERE.
IT'S AN UPCOMING SPORT
BECAUSE ANYONE CAN DO
IT.
(GRADY)
I REALLY ENJOY RIDING
BECAUSE IT JUST KIND
BRINGS A LOT OF ASPECTS
TO LIFE OUT HERE IN THE
NORTH WOODS.
YOU GET THE SPEED,
YOU GET THE MUD,
YOU GET THE SCENERY,
YOU CAN COME INTO TOWN
AND GET YOUR TREATS AND
HAVE YOUR FUN,
SO IT'S A GREAT TIME.
(KARLEE)
MY NAME IS KARLEE AND I
LIKE RIDING BECAUSE I
CAN GO MUDDING.
(JACK VO)
THERE ARE SO MANY
DIFFERENT WAYS TO ENJOY
RIDING IN SAWYER COUNTY,
BUT BASED ON CARLY'S
RECOMMENDATION,
WE DECIDED TO GO MUDDING
ON DAY TWO.
THE SCHROEDER FAMILY ON
THE OTHER HAND,
WENT FOR A PLEASANT
CRUISE INTO TOWN.
(TEDDY)
UH OH - I THINK JESSE
GOT STUCK
(ANDREW)
HE IS A LITTLE STUCK.
(JACK)
WELL YOU SAID YOU
WANTED TO GET MUDDY AND
WET DIDN'T YA?
THIS IS REAL MUDDING OUT
HERE,
WE'RE SEEING IF WE CAN
GET THIS THING UNSTUCK.
(EVERYONE)
CHEERING
(JACK)
RIDING THE TRAILS TODAY
IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN
RIDING YESTERDAY.
THERE'S A TON OF
PUDDLES.
I'M ACTUALLY RELATIVELY
CLEAN BUT,
ALL THE CAMERA GUYS AND
ALL YOU GUYS,
THEY'RE ALL MUDDY AND
WET.
(ANDREW)
SEE THAT?
(JACK)
THAT'S AWESOME,
THAT MAKES MY DAY.
(JACK)
SO I'VE LIVED MY WHOLE
LIFE IN WISCONSIN,
AND I THINK ALL OF US AT
SOME POINT WANT THAT UP
NORTH EXPERIENCE.
AND I GOT THAT TODAY.
I KNOW WHAT THE HYPE IS
ALL ABOUT.
FROM THE BIG TREES TO
THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY.
RIDING THE UTV TRAILS
TODAY.
EXPERIENCING THE
CULTURE,
I FELT REALLY WELCOMED
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO
VISIT AGAIN.
