Ok, a little off topic, but since I found it riding my Prairie 650 in the Sabine National Forest I figured it would be OK. You'll notice that you have not seen any pictures of this in the news, I figured I would share these with my Fellow Kawi riders and members of this board.

Just cruising, but keeping my eye's open. I had driven past this spot at least 5 times in the last 2 weeks and didn't see it.

TXBigRed,

Heck, you should have gotten your name in the newspapers for that one. It would have given our sport a better image.

You know it amazes me how we ATVers all chip in during times of emergency, but it never gets mentioned. If someone is looking for a lost child or missing hunter it is usually ATVs that do the job. They can cover far more ground than a horse or even a person on foot. They are more stable than a motorcycle, and usually get the job done better than anything else. ATVs are by far the best S&R tool shy of the human brain.

mike, good point but that would be classified as good publicity for ATVs and the media focus on bad.
