Gunny

Did a little ride today .... took the same route I did last week & the snow drift that was blocking the road had melted enough a guy could get by. :drivingc:

There's lots of snow up high & I didn't know if I was gonna be able to make the loop ... but I was able to get thru or around all the drifts & downed trees ..... 64 miles today ... and WHAT A BLAST !!! :cheer:

And I'm not sure .... but I think there was more skeeters today than there was last week ... HOLY MOLY !!! :willy_nillyc:

There was a freak'in 4-seater Polaris SXS in front of me some place (I saw him at my lunch break) & he really tore this one drift up .... and it was raining too, so that didn't help ..... but my right rear tire just plowed into the drift instead of going over .... SO I GOT TO USE MY WINCH !!! :coolgleamAc:

Here's some photo's of todays fun time .... and I'm head'in out again Thursday ... man, being retired is tough !!! :seeyac:

Look at them purdy skid plate !! :woot:

Awesome pics!looked like u had some fun

THANKS dude !! ... and Yup, fer sure !! :cheers2c:

sounds like a good ride other than the skeeters n stuck woman .

Had a freak'in blast .... I forgot about the woman already :wasntme: .... went back there today ... is it possible there's more skeeters now than there was a week ago ?? ........ HOLY MOLY they were bad !!! :willy_nillyc:

Thanks for sharing I like the vid.

THANKS Swampy Dude !! :bow: ... :bow: .... Glad ya enjoyed it.

Great pics Gunny !! Looks like you had a blast !! Where was that ?

THANKS :bow: .... and YES I did !!! :woot:

This ride is about 65 miles East / North East of my home .... place called "Millie Springs. Which is on the other side of the Monte Cristo Mountain Range and about 15 miles West of a framing community named "Woodruff".

Went for a ride the other day .... but I got to were I wanted to unload ... stepped outta the truck .. AND HOLY SHYTER !!! ..... Damn skeeters started crav'in hunks off me. It was terrible all day long. It was overcast, a threat of rain (which it do later), no wind ... not even a freak'in breeze .... and then mother nature calls & says, "You need to take care of business Tough Guy !!" ........ DAMN SKEETERS !!!

I rode for hrs before I even made my first stop ... didn't even eat my lunch when I was hungry cause I didn't want a skeeter sandwich ... I don't remember them being that bad since Nam !!! HOLY MOLY !!!

Saw deer, a Moose cow & her calf (which had started some antlers), antelope, snowshoe rabbits, a mean & nasty badger, some deer ... Oh yeah .... and did I tell ya, lots & lots of skeeters !!! ... and found some Elk Antler sheds ... both sides ... 5 on one side, 4 on the other .... they were on a ridge top about 75 yds from each other ...

Found some new trails & got to try out my new clutches ... one of which I'm taking off cause I'm not happy with it ... and then the rain started ........ WOO HOO !! .... Anyway ... I continued up the road until I hit a huge snowdrift block'in the road. And I've never seen so many downed trees ... I was knock'in the branches off one pine so it wouldn't have any "Tire Stabbers" .... & put one thru my boot .... sure glad it didn't take any skin !!!

Only thing is when it rains were I was, the road I had to drive back on .... is like wet cement !!! ...... Then I came upon a woman about a mile & a half from the highway slid into a ditch .... in sandles ... no coat ..... rain'in & skeeters eat'in away at her .... dumbass woman .... I tried winching her out but her little truck was to heavy down in the ditch & on that grease called mud .... finally talked her into backing down the ditch ... she finally got out, but man, did she tear that poor little truck up .... dumbass woman !!!

Did 70 miles total & that's a lot of miles for me ... and I DIDN'T SEE ONE OTHER PERSON ALL DAY .... except that woman that was stuck ... damn near ruined my day !! .........but what a GREAT DAY OF RID'IN !!

Here's a short vid of the day & some photo's ... enjoy ...

Alls good

:bow: ... :woot:

Gunny What part of Utah are you in ?

The BEST part ?? .... WHAT ?? :slap:

I live near Ogden ... do you know where that is ?? :seeyac:

Dont you hate it when half the songs you put in a video are blocked because of "copyright infringement"? I had that happen on the last 2 videos i made so i had to re do them with a different song

HELL YEAH !!! :censored: .... can I say that here ?? :wasntme:

Great pictures and video! Did you go out by yourself? Those are extra fuel tanks on the front rack, right? I noticed the gps also. How many miles out did you do?

I guess you had to cut that tree that was blocking the trail? You carry a saw?

THANKS Ajmboy dude !! :bow:

Yup, I do most my riding by myself ... have for years ... even in the winter .... and I like me a lot !! :slap:

Yup, those are Roto-Pak fuel paks (cans) on the front. The ones I use in the summer are 1 gal each & in the winter I have two or four 2 gal paks ... most the time I just carry two however. :coolgleamAc:

The GPs is a Garmin 60CSx ... it's a great unit.

Yup, I carry a Fiskar 18 in "Razor Sharp Teeth" pruning saw ... and it cuts yer hands & fingers real good too ... don't ask how I know OK .... :leavingc:

I did about 32 miles that day. :woot:

Nice Vid Gunny :yes:Thats a wild sound track !!!

THANKS Quadnut guy !! :bow2: ... glad ya liked the tunes. I like German Heavy Metal so there ya have it.

I actually had to render the video three times because I originally had ZZ Top & Van Halen clips to the video ... but it was blocked worldwide with those tunes ... and I was gett'in frustrated. :bangheadc:

Put new clutches in my Outty last week & decided to take it out for a test ride ... WHAT a GREAT Day !! :cheer: ... :cheer: ... :cheer:

Here's a couple pics & a short vid ... Hope ya enjoy it !! :bow:

Well, regardless ... I've been out there before & WHAT A BLAST !!! :partyc:

That looks like fun right there, I love slingin me some mud. The only way I could get through a hole like that would be to hit the thing doin a 90mph wheelie with paddles on.

That was the first of several mud holes ... and they were deep. Got to use my winch however ... that's a plus !!! :cheer:

...

Don't know why I just now thought of it, but I thought this thread should be sticky'd, so I done sticky'd it.

WOO HOO !!! :partyc:

SWEEEEEEEEEEET !!! Tagels dude !! :cheer: ... :cheer: ... :cheer:

I dont want winter to come any time too soon, but I cant wait to see some snow flying from those tracks.

WOO HOO !!!! :woot: ... :woot: ... :woot:
