Do you need anything? A big hammer? A drill? A pickup truck?

Standing by...

Wow Liz good job! KLR keyed gas caps suck, mine has a habit of sticking and I have felt that I was going to break my key a time or two. On a bright note thanks for the tour Chuck, what nice scenery. A few pics from the day

Nice bridge in the middle of nowhere.

I sure hope this road goes somewhere so we dont have to move this tree again!

Hey Chuck, what happened to the road.

The pic doesnt show the swampy/muddy trail now directly in front of us. Back to the tree that Grounder was so nice to hold up for us........again.

Chuckracer · 06-23-2012, 06:17 PM

Huh...just looking at Google maps...there's a LOT more exploring that needs to happen out there...

Did you guys get wet?

My friend with the XT600 and I rode the hill all day, over 150 miles and probably half of it was dirt. We came off the hill on West Rd and looped through Turin, Constableville and West Leyden to get home and it was black as night off over the Daks. Even saw some lightning over there. The road was wet in spots and we hit a few sprinkles but for the most part the weather on the hill stayed perfect.

Next time we're tagging along with you.

koyote · 06-23-2012, 07:13 PM

Hit a little rain here and there, the worst went by as we were having breakfast. Wish I would have known you were out we would have met up with you guys. We rode and explored some really nice seasonals between Soft Maple and Harrisville courtesy of Chuckracer Tour Service.

Chuckracer · 06-23-2012, 07:18 PM

We got rained on for 15 minutes or so. Just enough to get damp, but it kept the dust down nicely. There were dark clouds around us and a couple of storms you could hear walkin and talkin, but for the most part we had sunshine.

There's a lot more places we can explore. Heck, there's a huge sand dune right across the street from me I've never ridden on...several acres of sand...not too deep...might be fun - but I'm gonna crash so I'm not going over there alone!
