Dual Sport Event (Glenwood, MN)

[Lapchik]

I have created a G.R.E.A.T. lite version of the route. This is the ride I will lead on Memorial Day.

137 miles, more gas stops, more bar-n-grill/food, more time for flower sniffing and picture taking. Plus Some lakefront roads on Lake Minnewaska and "Hogsback" road north of Starbuck that was not on the original G.R.E.A.T. route.

Less connecting roads, and still hits all the major points other than the bird island in lake Johanna, but you can't really see much without binoculars.

I can boat right up to it if anyone wants a tour of the lake. There is a pond in an island in that lake too.

There is also a pioneer cemetery not on the map, but it is about 2 miles south of the ordway prairie overlook on the east side of the road. there is a parking area, and it is about 1000 feet up the ridge from that.
