Sandman, you got to admit you got smoked on that one. We rode Bailey Saturday, great last day for some of us. Not so great for a few others. 3 sleds blew up. We had a blast though. Time to rotate the stock and fire up the quads.
 
rode cavitt creek area with my son last sat and sun. great night for camping and the riding was perfect. headed up red butte sunday, got about 100 yards past the gate and hit solid snow. would think by next weekend will be pretty much all gone. hiked into peter paul prarie, lots of bear do-do:eek: had my knife with me this time, sure we were safe:) headed over to coolwater and roasted some hot dogs, they sure do taste good with a little dust and dirt! headed back through the seneca roads, no road numbers and the ones there are do not match my map. spent an extra hour or so getting through that way, boy was ready to give up but i was not to be denied.
no riding this weekend:( new grandbaby finally came thursday morning:p:p:p, kassidy marie, both mom and baby came out great!!! that makes number 3, won't be able to remember all thier names pretty soon. sure do love that new baby smell. was gonna try and sneak a little ride in tommorow but the little woman is puking her guts out so i'd better not try. theres always next weekend:) got a couple of pics from the ride, one of the boy tearing up the pow...

yo doug we need to get together and camp up in the forbidden zone. to bad you can't ride there.
 
thanks guys and congrats to you diva! when the new baby smell goes bad i just give her back to her mom and let her take care of it:) the perks of being a grandparent!!! we have 3 kids and the youngest is 17 so i think our grandbaby herd has a way to go... if you can't find riding partners grow em':)

Or you could lose the ghetto cat and buy a real sled. I don't know if I can ride with you next year if you are still having issues climbing that gay hill climb out Kelsey. Plus that thing is going to have a serious melt down next year if you don't get some venting done. Is it going to take an intervention Team orange? Aah, the bashing continues through June.
 
when i upgrade my sled will have to upgrade my riding partners:) won't be buying the 2010 until januaryish, guess we can ride together until then;) don't see too many peeps climbing no cigar one handed on one ski, at least not on a skidoo or a polaris or a yami... hey let me know how those drag racing back tires work out for ya, i here all the duners are gonna be running them this year;) a favorite pic, m hunts its prey, oh how the mighty M crested the ridge soooo easily knowing the doo would become stuck trying to follow, an easy meal for the taking!!!

Just be glad I don't know how to upload pics, yet. I don't recall you doing anything with one hand except waving a white flag. if i recall I had to damn near ridicule you to climb the almighty single stogie. If you didn't leave such a trench or I anticipated it from Team Orange I wouldn't have got stuck. Well maybe
 
haven't ridden in 3 weekends, UGH!!! heading up to cavitt creek this morning to get a campspot so me and the boy can spend fathers day weekend riding:) no other way i'd like to spend it... now if i could just get the boss to let me off early we could put in a few miles this evening!
 
things are really ripping in this section. loaded the quads and a couple of grandbabies and went camping for the 4th!!! awesome weather, almost too hot. hey doug and greg lets set up that camping trip. i'm up for any weekend its not going to be in the 100's:) heres a pic of my grandson on his first camping trip, he got on the dora electric quad we have and held the button all by himself and went for his first solo ride, sweeeettt...

me the boy and his girlfriend tore up the dirt yesterday! whats up with all the bears??? have seen one the last 2 times we've been out. maybe i should ask one if they want to go for a ride? got the new tires on the back, nice to be able to give the raptor gas and do more than just spin tires!!! in a couple of weeks me and the boy are gonna ride up to diamond from little river, always a blast!!! maybe we'll ride to the top of bailey and see if theres any snow left:)
 
a pic of the little stud tearing it up!!! if you can't find riding partners grow em'!!!

sweet riding this weekend. found the fairy shelter, where theres a will...:) also made it up to the snowbird shelter. quite a nice little ride up the 4x4 quad trail on my raptor!!! thing cuts through a side hill and the trail is not even as wide as my quad. was nice to get out of the heat for awhile. the 2791 road down to apple creek is blocked around mile post 6 from a slide, so if your headed down take the other road. the pic of the burned spot is from there, imagine that with a few feet of pow:) the gq pic is of me at the fairy shelter, good times!!! lots of grouse? out this weekend had one fly beside me down the trail for at least a 1/2 mile, was almost close enough to reach out and grab. also lots of does out with thier babies, one little guy still had his white spots, he never missed a beat when jumping through the brush with his momma. went up lookout mt. and can see bailey and thielson still have some pow left, maybe need to load the sled next weekend...

talked the little woman into going to the coast this weekend. she's been saying she wants to go get some drift wood for the yard, so i mentioned we should go and she was all for it. then i brought up if we were heading over might as well load the quads and do a little riding:) it would be silly to go all that way and not!!! she has been quite the trooper this year, went snowmobiling and quad riding all in the same year!!! went to horsfall, got there and the fog was just burning off, rode to hauser and right at the whoop road it turned misty. headed over to spinreel, the tree swing tree has come down:( been riding over there for over 20 years and its always been there. hopefully someone will chop it up and tie another one to one of the other trees. got to spinreel, they've finally updated the toilets in the dayuse. no more stink of pee, yeah. road back to hauser and had a couple of dune burgers, man the double bacon cheese burger is HUGE!!! was getting dark so we headed down to the beach for our real purpose of being there, driftwood:) got everything loaded up and headed out. noticed a squeaky noise on the way back to 101, sure enough one of the bearings on the trailer was starting to go. man i just replaced them all with new seals at the begining of snowmobile season, do i have to do them twice a year??? was nothing to do at 9 pm but head home, will post pics of the carnage tommorow!!! bearing popped just as we turned down our road, the grinding sound until we hit the driveway was not a good one:)
