got out for a ride

[EigerMike]

well blm510 and i went up to the west side for a little ride.was a very interesting day. still lots of snow up high but it was ridable for some of us saw my first bear ever ,man it was big and fast! then we ride down the road a few miles and see a smaller bear hauling ass up a old skid road! we allso found a pathfinder off the beaten path. very strange there are no tracks to this car and its not on any road or trail.tags have been expired sence last sep has note that says out of gas be back soon no date.this thing is so clean not a drop of dirt so i think its been there a while! anywas never had to use the saws untill the last couple of miles and then it was crazy! trees every where to late to turn around so we cut and cut ect! long day but very fun!

These are some of the reasons we ride.





These are more reasons we ride.








These are the real reasons we ride.



Things like this are priceless reasons we ride.





I know this does not look steep but it is just wish my camera would recover faster so I could get more than one picture of EigerMike.

Couplewidgen we missed you no one to Pick on.

awesome pics I was hoping for more than a pic of the track, those sure are big tracks too, Ive been wanting to see a bear out there for a long time, found tracks but no bear,

[GrizzlyGuy]

Wow, what an adventure! Bears, snow, trail clearing and stolen cars. It doesn't get any better than that.

Good stuff there!! I am going to tear into my Power Steering unit this week and will be trying out the results soon....I need to get out and ride and these pictures are not helping.

[EigerMike]

sure wish we could have taken pics of the bears too fast for me! hey GG just another day when you ride with us!!!!!!!

AC hope you get that power steering fixed i enjoy seeing your pics!

hey dave there were tracks every where! it was really cool the first bear was biggggg!

[hemingray]

Yay for the Husky! I am bringing the chainsaw on the first trip out too - it was a blustery winter for sure.

Thanks for the pix - cool ride!

[GrizzlyGuy]

sure wish we could have taken pics of the bears too fast for me! hey GG just another day when you ride with us!!!!!!!

Looking forward to it, Mike! You don't have the market cornered on bears: Angelo and I saw one today. Guess where? At Bear Valley OHV.

He was a small bear and wanted nothing to do with us. I got the camera out just as he disappeared.

[EigerMike]

thats cool bear valley glad you guys got out! did angelo get to use the winch? hope you guys had fun!

hey that bear was probably just scared from seeing a kodiak and a grizzly at the same time and place!!!!!!!!!

I remember Terry and I were riding around Bowman Lake, and I came around the corner....and there was a bear.


The basic reaction as I slammed on the brakes...


OH SHIT! A BEAR!


and the bear's reaction

OH SHIT! A QUAD!


His lumpy butt ran as fast as he could........Terry and I were laughing.

[Mr. Green]

great pic's as normal, and i always enjoy seeing bears (so far at least). I head up to to bucks lake ever year just to see some if i haven't for awhile. Looks like you guys had fun even with some trail clearing


On a side note:
If you guys are down we should run up to boca area ive seen some post on here about it recently. Ive rode around in my old truck around there and fish up there all the time but never atv'ed it. Or even head out to moonrocks in NV if you want to do some boulder pile playing mixed in with open riding of course.

Last year was bear year for me - 3 bears in as many rides in as many weeks. Same response by all parties as Ken describes. Before that, I had only seen 2 over something like 8 years of poking around in my truck.
