[QUOTE="woodsy, post: 796307, member: 27856"] FANTASTIC ride report there Brother Mark!! I could not have done a better job of leading an unsuspecting pack of riders into the abiss myself!! MAIDEN VOYAGE ON A BIKE, RAIN, NO TOOLS and LOST - has the makings of a GREAT ADVENTURE - Woodsy style :) I am soooooo glad to hear that you have "taken up the slack" for me about getting lost!! One thing that I might toss in here - your 1st mistake was actually Teds first mistake and that was that the Emergency Kits didnt get passed out till after the ride - I am telling you - THE KIT WORKS!!!! By the way, most of my own REAL lost situations occur beyond the Lincoln Hills Bridge on the Boon Trail so you are definitly filling a void of necessary Proper Trail Leadership! I dont usually get into "advanced adventure antics" like you did when I am below the Bridge. Anything "lost in nature" below the bridge that I do is nothing more then "a twisted mind trying to twist someone elses mind! Perhaps, once I am back in the saddle, you and I could plan a 5 day ride/adventure extravaganza , you leading everything below the Bridge and me leading everything above it :) Problem may be getting victims, ahhhh I mean "followers" to go with us.... I will have to work on that... Actually, that dozer was probably doing trail maintenance on the ORV trail that services snowmobiles in the winter (I havent heard of single trail being lost to widening up there - sheesh, I HOPE that aint the case, I would sic Joe Daugherty on them for sure!!). They run that doser cause a sled trail grader dont stand a chance of leveling those sand whoops during the winter but a dozer does a GREAT job of controling things during the summer. One thing for sure, if your riding that double wide stuff on a bike or a quad you dont wanna be caught "dozing" or your sure to be caught being "dozed" (I could go on and on :) ) Another good reason to stay on the single trail!!! Of course, no one enjoys having wet leaves and roost being tossed in your face either, so every once in a while even us "single minded people" will wander over onto the double wide stuff, at times!! This all brings up another interesting point about the issue at hand. During the Snow Chicken (and at MANY other occasions for us winter riders) that area becomes REALLY volatile. It is entirely possible to find 60 plus bikes and quads venturing out for "the chicken" onto those trails while our sled riding brothers are still out there RIPPING in the woods on their 150 horse sleds - gotta REALLY be careful on the double wide stuff!! Again, makes ol Woodsy even more confident that the LOVE for single trackin is the road to happiness!! All in all, sounds like you guys had a GREAT adventure. THANK YOU for the suberb write up Mark! It REALLY means alot to us shut in folks!! And, oh yea, :thumb: on the comparison between street and dirt!! By the way, your comments about Young Ted are RIGHT ON TARGET!! He and Connie (WHAT A SWEETHEART!!!) visited with me for 5 hours today so I had a "heads up" on your report! We laughed and cried together - what a fun day!! I am going to write up a "Visit Report" soon and attach it to the ongoing Woodsy's Situtation thread so keep your eyes open - YOU WILL BE SHOCKED at what those 2 wonderful people did!! THANKS MARK!
