Half hour, 22 minutes of which, we didn't relize it.

 

I am home, quads unloaded and put away dirty because I ain't got a hose that ain't froze right now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

What a GREAT ride! Sunny and beautiful. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I swamped my air filter on the way back from the wall when my quad decided to follow Joel's quad. I am going to have a talk with it about it's decision making process because it seems to just take me into trouble. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Got it stuck in over knee deep water/ice and soaked my air filter. THANKS for the tow out Karl and THANKS for the assist on drying out my filter Joel. An all around blast of a day!

It was very frozen up there so we were able to ride(mostly) over alot of the nasty puddles. Only a few breakthroughs and such. Riding through the woods was great because most of the mud was frozen so we were able to pick some fun routes.

We took a break and then almost everyone toddled out for a last ride down to the big puddles on the way to the lower parking lot which were mostly frozen solid.

Got some great pics through the day I will post later. So much for getting home early. Again, a great day despite the carnage on a few machines and a few bodies. No major bodily injuries anyway. Sorry to hear about Eleanor. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Saw Sean(Chris's friend) coming in as I was pulling out, so was very glad he was found safe and sound.

Fire's lit and I am heading for a warm blanket. Have a great night folks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Down at the lower parking area.

 

is that where you staged?

did you ride upper?

 

We parked up, then rode up. After break we went down. Sean had his gloves off when we went to go back up. He didn't see where we went and noone relized he didn't come out of down there.
