Fri and Sat I rode with Bobby Duncan, Kevin Dawson (geter done), Matt G. Yimmy Yow, the Hardy's, Glenda Cox, Henry's relative Reggie, and three Florda guys Steve Harris, Rob and Kurt, and a few others. Fri we went to a couple of waterfalls that I had not seen. Sat we rode from Skyline to Hardy's, Jimmy, and Glenda's compound via the CC trails and some I had never been on. Some pics are attached' We rode through the most mud and big ruts that I have ever ridden linklink

Friday- Wiley, Wiley, David A, Nate & Girlfriend (5 machines) started out with a ride down to Ziggy's to have a Smartlock error message on Dad's machine checked out. When Ziggy's son hooked up the scanner he got an error code not recognized by the system or found on the internet. He checked all the wiring, fuses, and connectors finding nothing wrong. He apologized that he could not figure it out and didn't charge us for the 15 minutes he spent diagnosing the machine. Thumbs up to Ziggy's. Silver lining, Dad fires up the machine to leave and the fault light went out and Smartlock started working and continued to work thru out the weekend. All we can figure is when Ziggy's kid was checking it over, he ended up squeezing some connectors together or something, weird? Since we got a late start we rode some outlaw trails over to Pinnacle Creek and had a late lunch at Ol Jose's. On our way back we encountered a steady rain all the way back to camp. After returning, Wiley, Wiley, Nate and GF along with myself loaded up and headed to Rose Hill, Virginia for a ride into Kentucky on Saturday. Saturday - Wiley, Wiley, Nate & GF, Cousin, Cousin's sons, another cousin's son, friend of cousin's son (7 machines) rode into Kentucky via Church House Rock, and down thru Wild River, we then did some road riding to visit Hensley's Settlement. The trail up to Hensley's was sporting to say the least. No issues and everyone had a good time. Came down off Hensley's Settlement to hit one last trail for the day when we had a SxS get a bad flat to which it was decided they would forgo anymore trail riding and take a direct route back home. The group in front of SxS that got the flat did not stop, so now we were two groups. Then we split into three groups, group two trying to catch group one, group three taking shortest trip back home. Group one and two never got back together but both returned safely back via Crows Foot trail. Unfortunately group three returned via Wild River and were stopped by Game Wardens which resulted in a ticket each for the two riders. Apparently that area is a Wildlife area, but what is really frustrating is the lack of signage indicating it's off limits or a Wildlife area. In any case before riding over into Kentucky again, we need to check where the Wildlife area is and avoid it. All and all two good days of riding and fun with everyone returning home safely.

Sorry Bob but I could not get your links to work to the photos... Thanks Mike for the update on your ride..Here is an update on our ride in Matewan. Doc and Martha, Guy and Angie, Larry, Carver, John S, Steve and I (7 machines) rode out of Matewan on Sat and Sunday... Spent Sat morning trying to find the horses over in Ky but could not find them but we did ride some new trails... Rode to Williamson on Sunday and planned on eating at Smoking Pit BBQ but unfortunately, they closed permanently due to the virus... Tried Starters but they are closed on Sunday.. So unfortunately, we ended up driving through a Wendys since the dining rooms were closed at all fast food places... Kind of sad that we rode 40 miles to end up driving through a Wendy's in our machines but we made the most of it and had a good lunch... Tried to ride some outlaws in KY but found gates locked so ended up on HM trails back to Matewan...However Guy, Angie, Carver and myself gave the horses one more try and found found them grazing.... There were 13 in the herd and they gobbled down some carrots and apples in no time....Overall no problems and had great times at night . Link to some photos photos.app.goo.gl/j6XfTyfyiKs7jZVa7
