Year end ride with the newest Quadster…

Thursday December 29, 2011. The year ended with what by now has become a Holiday tradition, a quad year end run to the top of the mountain. This year was a little different with the newest Quadster “Grizz” on his brand new Yamaha, 2012, Grizzly 450. It was Grizz’s first ride to the top and it was an awesome sunny, cold, crisp day for the ride. We left at 9:30 and returned to the Manhut at around 1:30. Weavo supplied Brewmation fresh beer, Sausages supplied by Smokehaus, rolls by Mario and the celebration continued into the early evening.
Memorable day that we all wish never ended.

SIDE NOTE: We were soooo close to finishing the big loop that we could just about taste it. Weave got down to the creek bed, me and Grizz found a way to the other side and a pristine loggers road… And if you don’t know what I’m talking about than you just don’t.

Cheers!....

Oh Deer!....

These photos were taken with a Tasco 5-Megapixel IR Trail Camera, a new toy Big Loo got from Santa. Pretty neat thing, you strap it to a tree out in the middle of the wilderness and leave it there. If it senses any motion it snaps a photo day or night (see photo). Then at some later point, you retrieve the thing and see what you caught. These photos where taken with the camera. Some pretty interesting stuff; a one antlered buck, the close-up deer eyeball is cool and the human shots where just taken to test the camera for range and such.
More Manhut news later.... Man Hut Rules!
Cheers!...

Frozen Pond Runners…

We took a ride this cold sunny morning up to burning bush. With a fresh 6 inches of snow on the mountain the ride was a bit more challenging than usual but a real blast on this beautiful morning. When we got to the ponds they were frozen pretty solid so we decided to play. Note Big Loo’s fine techniques...

Watch the for the last "Bump" when Loo's rear left tire smashes through the ice...
(see you at the Manhut next week boys and girls)
