How long to Kab.

[Rivernut]

Hey guy's, I have a question! How long ( time wise) is it going to take to get from Mpls.(Blaine) to Kab. I have asked 4 friends and got 4 very different answers. Thanks.

I would say it's a 4 1/2 hour trip if you go straight through. (Depending, of course, how the traffic is coming out of the Cities.) I used to make it from Augsburg to I. Falls in 4 hours, but that was when I was a little bit younger and a little bit crazier.

4.5 hours from Minneapolis. Will get faster when they complete the four lane from Virginia to cook.

89 Bronco - I'm a 94 Bronco. Also went to Auggie tech.

4.5 hours straight through from Brooklyn Park.

Hey Kab Dreamin--- Good to see you are still dreamin about Kab. Won't be long now for spring. I had guests from Forest Lake and the trip was about 31/2hours from there. For me it's about one minute from the front door to the boat. Later Fishkab

Back in college I made it from Burnsville to Vermilion in 2 1/2 hours, so you could make it in 3 hours.....in theory that is.

It can be done in about 3:15 - 3:30 from St.Paul and that is using some good gas. My brother comes from Andover and it takes him on average 3:45-4:00 to the Ash river turn off. THank God they finally changed 53 to 60 mph. But watch out the pigs are out most of the time. 10 mph saves an hour!!!

[Rivernut]

Thanks alot everybody for all the info. I had heard anywhere from 6.5 to 4. Much appreciated.

[Kab Dreamin]

I hate when you gloat.

i cant help but reply even if it does stir the pot a bit. my hope is to enlighten those ignorant enough to use the word "pigs" to describe law enforcement. Law enforcement does not deserve this derogatory nickname. These are the same men and women who save lives, up hold the laws and give unselfishly of themselves on a day to day basis (often risking thier own lives) rarely getting thanks from the society they serve and protect. They do thier best to catch the scum of the earth that prey upon innocent citizens. They save lives daily. Sure we have all probably gotten a citation and even perhaps a short and inconvenient incarceration. If you dont break the law you wont recieve a penalty. If you break the law and get caught ............suck it up and pay the fine. If you dont like the law..............lobby to change it. "pigs" ??

I for one refer to them as law enfircement.

Hop Sing, I don't think that you are stirring the pot. I don't like the term either. I would just hope that the people on the FM site are people who enjoy the outdoors, take pride in taking care of the environment and enjoy these areas for years to come. It only takes a few of the people with no respect and bad attitudes to ruin things for others. This doesn't need to go any further, but thought I would let you know that term doesn't belong here. Later and Good Fishing Fishkab

...and there are a load of us active and retired LEO's rubbing shoulders with you good folks up on Kabetogama. That "pig" might just be one of us, sharing a brew and a fishing story with you. We're normal people and most of us give a [darn] about the same things everyone else does, including our resources and a safe and enjoyable time on the water and in the woods. It's always nice to hear a good word for the LE community. Thanks!

[prov1900]

And I am also one of those law enforcement people who just got home from a very long day in court. It is good to come home, read the posts from this site, and prep for my trip in May to Kabetogama. Thanks to all who had a positive word to say about the law. Most of us dont take offense to the name calling...just part of the job. When we are fishing, we are all equals...just plain old fishermen/fisherwomen.
