Rid'in In Thin Air

[Gunny]

Now that I have your attention ... ... I decided to go to the Uintah Mountains east of my home for a ride and check out the snow.

Where I parked the truck to unload is about 110 miles one way from my home, so I left the house at 0500 ... :coffee: ... and headed out for a Great Day of rid’in !! Stopped for some morning vittles & was on the trail by 0830. :woot:

Again, riding early like that puts the sun in a bad position for the camera … and it always seems like I’m riding into it … guess that’s better than riding off into the sunset huh !!?? … WHAT ?? :toetap05c:

A lot of the riding here is between 9000 ft and the highest elevation I reached yesterday was 10,500 ft plus … and it’s some steep country. Lots of standing dead pine trees due to a forest fire in the past and then the pine beetles aren’t helping either. But it’s still really gorgeous country. Saw a few mule deer, so that makes it interesting as well.

At the river, when it’s wide, looks slow, and you can see the bottom so easy … one never knows just how deep it might be. And riding alone, I didn’t want to end up with a drowned bike, so you’ll see, I was pretty cautious crossing the first time … and that’s some mighty cold water!!

Hope you enjoy the video and make sure to watch it in 720p or 1080p. :seeyac:

THANKS Ox !!

Yeah, I wanted to play around more in the river but I'm not crazy about do'in stuff with other people around. So when I made the return trip & all these scouts were down at the river, I didn't want to appear to be show'in off, so I just rode thru & kept on go'in !! Dang kids anyway !!

THANKS for watch'in OX Guy !!
