Had a great time this weekend. Weather was great....untill Sunday at which time the temps plummeted and the winds picked up to gale force!

Did allot of "exploring" and figured a few things out for next time.

Didn't take may pictures, but here they are.

Yep, I think we all had a great time and are ready to go back. As Ken said we did some exploring and found our way to a new area now we got to find the trails. Yes i got stuck and had to be pulled out but I wasn't the only one!!!!!!!

Matt -- I am only taking the Rhino if there are other SxS's. The Rhino would have been a problem on Friday -- the ATV's barely fit under alot of trees. I can tell I need a very small gas saw on the Rhino....


And I agree with Lonnie -- it was a great trip that makes me want to ride more!

Just looked at the pictures again and they give a different perspective. The hill down from the view looks smooth and not very steep, the trail with the trees down looks wide enough for a car, and the mud Lonnie got stuck (actually high centered) in looks 6" deep. I now think something is wrong with Ken's camera.....

No way -- Ken you were definitely stuck. Even the pictures look like that hole was trying to eat your Can-Am. There is no shame in being stuck in that hole. It is worth mentioning that no one in the group tried that hole after your event. Looked like it would be 6ft deep further up.

Jay -- your Rubicon would have needed to learn to swim. That hole was really deep. I'll admit you likely would have tried it. You definitely have a lot of desire when it comes to mud. You just need an ATV with some ground clearance and maybe some snorkles.

Last ride I went on with other SxS's there was a guy who used to take a Ranger all over the WV trails. He did keep a chainsaw on board. I have a handsaw in my toolbox.
