I'm thinking Mark (Madurbu) might be in trouble already if he missed this warning...
is the section, you're referring to, doable on a GSA?
is there cell reception? if not, can anyone from the area do a quick sweep run..? just in case

[HeyDoc]

I can sweep thru there tonight or Tues night. Just let me know if some one is missing!!
Seriously, if someone needs help while up this way PM me for a phone #. That area is really not too difficult, but I can be there in about 1 hour if necessary.

[akarob]

Doable on a GSA? I hid it on a Suzuki Katana 600. I have no idea if you can make it in there without dumping it if that's what ya mean. Each rider is different.

Call phone reception? Yes, I had it. It's not too far into the woods, about a mile or so.

i can't comment on Madurbu's riding experience (i briefly met Mark only once at one of the GS Tags), but nevertheless if the conditions are "right", you can't pickup that bike. period.

[Madurbu]

I had to cancel today's raid into Ct due to timing problems. My window of opportunity disappeared.

Thanks for looking out for me Adam.

[HeyDoc]

Went out for a sweep ride or grab the duck ride. The good news, no downed riders. The bad news, no duck! I am 99.9% sure I was in the right spot but I arrived WAY after dark and could not find the duck with my little LED flashlight. Also too dark to be certain, but I did not see any fresh tracks!
My original plan was to go for the grab Tues eve, because I can actually get there before dark. So if no one claims it, I will head back by 6pm, Tues.

[HeyDoc]

GPS and empty woods! Terrible pic, but the co ords are correct.

[akarob]

Did you find the tree with rusty white the sign on it?

[HeyDoc]

No Rob, I forgot about that clue and never saw the old sign! So I was probably poking around in the wrong stone wall!

[akarob]

yea, you get off the bike, go over the wall on the pond side of the trail, and just kind of follow the trail to the left. It's not far.

[BmwRudy]

Almost made the run yesterday, 4 hrs one way, but then luck failed me. I remembered an appointment I had in the early afternoon. Oh my little red duc how you cause grown men and women to sink to such sillyness....

[HeyDoc]

Rushed out to beat the rain and the sunset tonight, just made it on both counts. Same location as last night, but now I could see! There is a trail heading left from the clearing. Keep going there is the rusty sign and a wall beyond.




A brief search in daylight is much more productive.




Hike back to the trail and lets get out before the downpour!

[GirlRyder]

For a minute there I thought a girl on a sportbike was gonna have to go rescue the duck while all you testosterone laden lads duked it out!!

[HeyDoc]

Back at home for the night. akarob's shop apparently inspected and rejected the Red Duck




My 3 month old grandson, visiting from North Carolina, inspected and approved the duck.

Off to a new nest Weds afternoon. Two 100 mile nights on the thumper have been a literal pain in the ass, so we will take the Harley and find some big bike friendly dirt in Central Ct.
