Jax' mediocre photo thread, a general waste of time.

Yeh... love it up there. I love riding ridges like that. 70mph dirt

Micheaux? Never heard of it.
There is a Christian Retreat, if that floats your boat.

I don't think you'll have to wander far in the Catoctin before you meet the secret service. I refrain from such behavior. Just boring ol (legal) gravel roads for me.

You are more than welcome to use my photos.

Had a deer jump out in front of me the Saturday of BYOB ,scared the shit out of me,I was afriad someone would run over me. The traffic was kinda heavy too.

UGH.... I counted 17 deer in a 12 hour period riding in the area. Several in the middle of the friggin day!!!!
Somebody needs to make jerky outta the suckers.

Last of BYOB:






And back on the road Sunday 7/2 Making for Chapel Hill NC.

I was meeting a WW2 Hero (Dr. Jones) for breakfast on Monday. I recently found out that my Father was part of the most infamous beach landings in Europe and Africa in WW2. My Dad's ship the LST327 picked up Dr. Jones in Anzio and transported him to a safe port.
I'll introduce you to him and add details later... It's a great story that I have decided to tell here.

Quite superior photography Jack. And it looks as though you are taking bungees and cargo nets to the next level with that load.

I didn't even know there was an Easter Continental Divide, oops! Lots of cool pictures!

I've been mostly absent from ADV for the past year or so, just haven't plugged into the community out here like I did back east. This thread is a balm for my soul every time I check back on these boards though. I miss riding with YFFs on the right coast, even if I like living out here in the sand more.

Send me a PM/text/smoke signal if you're coming down this-a-way. I'll buy you both some Green Chili Apple Pie (much better than it sounds).

Great pictures! Keep on rollin'!

No oops necessary. I have lived close to the sucker for most of my life and didn't know it was there.

Great to hear from you lil Brother. We miss you back here too. I was just crackin wise about you in smibville.
Hey.. it's easy to blame the guy who ain't here.

Looks like Scotty and me are planning an assault on the 4 corners area sometime next summer. So...... smoke signals will fly!!!

Green Chili Apple pie aye? Excellent.

Looking fwd to riding with you again.

I know I teased the story about my Dad's WW2 service, and visiting a Sailor he tended to. I'm about 1/2 the way through writing it, so I'll move on to a coupla trips to PA.

It's to the point that all I have to do is start one of my bikes and it takes me to PA or WV. I'm such a mountain gravel HO>...
Machinememory. Yes you heard it here first.


Michaux State Forest PA.













HEY... there is a bike there.








On my way to State College, I went through Rothrock and Tuscarora State Forests.
Mo lata.

Nice to have you along Ms. T.

Take me along with you on one of your rides to Michaux please.

Done.




Flowers are for JaxWife.... especially the purple ones














Bear Meadows is basically a natural basin containing a swamp... pretty cool at 2000'.












mo lata.

Be vewy vewy quiet and you'll see a Tiger in its natural habitat.







Buggy tracks on the road>


more buggy tracks>>






Here's one for Banjo.


Allensville PA
More buggies in this town than there are cars.

Keep em' coming Jack.

Dead rabbit stone and Whipple Dam....KEWL.

We used to do the Michaux Enduro and a bunch of the hood would be waving from the fenceposts in their Sunday best. Watch for carriage! Great place. Glad that I have gotten to ride the roads and trails of that area.

Hey Patrick,

Rough game plan is to trailer out to Buena Vista CO to start the COBDR south and pick up the UTBDR north. I think Big dog adventures is working on connecting the two on the north end. He'll validate this Sept.

You and Chub are welcome to jump IN and Out as your schedule allows. Or you could just ride the whole thing with us

Clown out! Back to the purty pixs

Glad you are here to see em. Bowling pins....

Sleeping rabbit

Yeh man... I grew up within 5 miles of Rothrock and just love the ruralness of central PA... From top to bottom.

Nice Scotty. I'm still planning to take JaxWife out there.... Though she is now scoffing and sporting an "I'll believe that when I see it" attitude.

Oh ye of little faith. Well... I suppose in her defense, I have promised trips in the past that I didn't deliver You'll see.

I can't wait to read the story about the WWII heroes! Still enjoying the great photos and hope to get some of my own soon...

Howya doin Jack

Jack, thanks for planting the seed for todays ride.
