Faribault Club Grounds 9/17&18/06

(big thanks to Willy Gruette for his recent photo work!) (posted by TravisJ)

On September 14, the UMTA received a letter from Evelyn Piper, who is the landowner of the Faribault club ground, in which she informed us of her decision not to renew our lease at the end of the 2006 season. We will be able to hold our final event of the season (Oct. 22) and we will have access to the property for recreational use through December 31, 2006.

The UMTA was established in 1969 and has operated continuously from the same location we enjoy today. Though we may feel sorrow in leaving this wonderful property, we must also express out heart-felt gratitude to the Piper family for allowing us to call their land our home.

In the interest of leaving the land as we found it, we will announce a date for a club ground clean up to remove the tires and logs from the pit area and ride the land to remove any debris we may have overlooked in the past. This will be an opportunity to have a final club fun day, camp out and tell stories about the generations of great times we have enjoyed through the goodwill of the Piper family.

Mike.

County 29, the road to the Club Grounds from Hwy 3, closes this week. Here’s the news from Rice County.

Best alternate from the north: Hwy 3 to County 20, just south of Northfield/Dundas (near Menards).

Follow that all the way to the little unincorporated town of Cannon City. (Watch your speed, as it’s frequent hiding spot for Rice County deputies.)

You can catch Cty 29 to the east as you enter Cannon City (you’ll go by the road to Storm’s Ranch) and then take it all the way to Cabot, then left (south) to the grounds.

But a better way is go into Cannon Cith and take a right (east) at the church on Crystal Lake Trail and follow it to Coe Trail. Take a right and follow that till you get to the Club Grounds.

Here’s a mostly accurate Google Map and here’s the satellite version.
