I was riding into town the other day along the river and a deer jumped out right in front of me, I didn't miss him by an inch, no time for brakes or anything, it was CLOSE!!

I did glance down and I was doing 28 mph. I would HATE to hit a deer or any other wildlife while out riding.

When I was a kid (several centuries ago) I was riding a bike down a trail between two streets when a big buck jumped right over my front tire. I ended up in a hedge but at least I didn't collide with the deer.

I'd love to have you as a guide sometime to see the places you ride. I've been through that country in a truck but it's just not the same. If things work out you'll be the first to know!

I’ve ridden here before; until more snow melts I’m kind of limited.


Loaded and ready to go.


The only way to get to this next trail is either haul your ATV or cross the river when it’s low.
They are working on the gate at the reservoir so the river flow changes daily.


Headed up here, again.




This trail is not well traveled at all.


And this is where I decided to stop.


For some reason I just didn’t think I could have made it.

I came back down and crossed the river and I’m headed up another trail.
I'm headed back up to the mine on the upper right corner.


I wanted to come back to this mine again.


And I brought my flashlight this time.


That’s one deep mine; the light just disappears.


After I left the mine I ran into town and up my favorite little canyon.
It is a lot rougher without a foot of snow on it.
