SSRT Pig Roast Event

[mikeexplorer]

Another great weekend at Snow Shoe Rails to Trails for their annual pig roast. Thursday and Friday nights were quite cool at night. We run a buddy heater in the tent to keep warm. One of our members brought a drone and was able to get some cool video. Ill have to put it together and upload it to Youtube. They were sold out of food by 2:15pm. Trailhead was packed and they had to use two overflow areas for parking. I took a few snapshots from the drone video. One is a railroad viaduct that a few years ago we were able to cross it on our quads. It has been closed for a few years now.

Wow outstanding pics. Looks like you had some fun.  Freaking drones are awesome.

 So how did the machines run ?

If I were there food would have been gone by 1:30 😂 I love a pig roast, pulled pork especially!

What do you guys do for dinner bbq or head out to a local restaurant?

We had one breakdown on Friday, a Can-Am broke a tie rod end, we zip tied it up and rode the roads back to camp. We cooked out on the trail for lunch and stopped at a local place on the quads for dinner.  The pulled pork was excellent. For Saturday night, I ran down on the quad and picked up pizzas so we ate pizza around the campfire.

When I stopped to pick up the pizza's I noticed grease sling by the front shaft. It has quite a lot of play and the front U joint is shot. So the only thing we missed out on is we usually ride a few hours on Sunday before heading home.  The main rides were Friday & Saturday so it was not a big loss.

Dropped the quad off at the dealer yesterday, I can do most mechanical work on the quad, but not everything since I don't have a ton of tools. So for something like this that is kinda rare to happen, let the dealer take care of it. His labor price is very reasonable and he had replaced the U joint before, so he will give me a break on this repair since it is the second time.

So that’s what the front racks are for on an atv, Pizza 🍕 racks!! Got it now! 

Good stuff looks like the weather was good too.

My brother is the one who owns the drone. I took the raw video files and made this video from it.

 

 

Nearby is a 400 foot beaver dam, got some drone video of it as well since you can't see the whole thing from the ground
