HOOSIER HUNTING QUAD RIDE

Just Curious, how many would be interested in a quad ride in southeast IN around Jan. or Feb.? It would be for any HH member and whoever they wanted to bring. We could have a campfire and cookout. We could also have beverages and camping could be provided onsite. If there are enough people interested, say 5 or more we could start planning it. You wouldn't have to have a quad either you could just hang out for the commeradary. Sound fun? Post if you are interested.

I,d be interested but SE indiana is a long way to trailor the machine with gas prices the way they are.

Derslayer, maybe some of you Northerns could car pool or caravan? I'm interested, me plus probably 3 or 4 of my buddies. Fullrut, did you see where there are a bunch of Veterans getting together in Harlan in February? Probably a weekend thing, its on the Ridge Runners site.

Count me in. Haymaker would probably come too.

Looks like a party then. We'll ride and we'll rock. Now lets just figure out a date.

well I'll be home late November, early December. Lets look towards January or February, like you stated earlier, not sure of dates, just any weekend, as long as I give the boss a heads up, I should be good. I'll try and get Ernie to come too. Guess we have some time, no big rush. Looking forward to it

Sounds like a great time Chris! Count me in.

Ernie, you still got the Raptoid? I am quadless these days, but I have a Ranger that will haul several coolers of beverages.

Yeah Darin, I still have it.
I want a side by side though..... a sign of getting old I reckon! LOL

Bo, did you see the new RZR(S) pretty sweet but you give up the 50 inch width that most trails allow??

I'm telling you those RZR's can go just about anywhere you want! I rode in one all weekend at the Badlands while we put on a race there and those things are a blast!!! I might be interested in this trail ride as well!

gpd, would you say you had as much fun in the RZR versus a quad or dirtbike?? I've been heavily thinking about getting a rzr, just don't want to sacrafice fun for comfort..

Here is a good place for that discussion.........

http://www.hoosierhunting.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=39;t=000056

And I am also interested in all the feedback you have on the RZR gpd! Thanks in advance.

Hey coyoteman you sound like my guy kind of guy. You should come up, only about a half hour drive for ya.

I've posted a few of my thoughts on the RZR on the thread BOWBO posted.

Count Momma Bear and I in! Sounds like a lot of fun!

We did a huge ride through Hoosier national forest a couple years back with some of the folks from Midwest trail riders, we had a blast!

The camping, fire, and food sounds great!

Momma Bear and I can bring some tasty treats and drinks for the group!

We have two quads, both Arctic cat, A 400 and a 250, both 4X4’s

Let’s make this happen, let us know what we can do to help plan it, and what we can bring.

Sounds like tons of fun!

Bear.

P.S. I have a hard time getting extra time off work, so I will post my normal weekend dates off below during January and February. If at all possible these dates would be the best for us to make it! Thank you in advance.

January
2nd, 3rd, 4th,
9th, 10th, 11th, 12th
30th 31st and Feb 1st.

February
6th, 7th, 8th, 9th.
27th, 28th, and March 1st.

Thanks
Bear

Cool, we'll get a date set up soon hopefully.

BUMP, sounds good, can't wait

Recon

Anybody else thinkin of bringin the little woman? My wife gets an extra 500 bucks for takin a vacation around this time, since it is of peak. We do it every year. I,m sure she,d go with me, but she wouldnt want to be the ONLY other female there. I know its cold as heck about that time but nuttin carhardts wont take care of. I,ve got a GMC savanna (van), very comfortable for any central indiana car poolers, and plenty of trailor. If this gets coordinated, I,d be in, it,ll take some of the cabin fever out besides ice fishin...

Derslayer1:

My better half with definitely be there! As long as its one of the dates listed above. She would not miss it, so tell your wife to come on and have some fun!

Also if kids will be allowed, My daughter and her friend would join the party they are 13 years old, but are plenty use to adult party’s with drinking, food, and adult conversation so they would not take away from the party.

Don’t get me wrong they do not drink them selves, just been around it a lot.

What do you all think about January 24-25?

should work for me.

I will more then likely camp (especially after city water), which raises my next question for Fullrut. Is there a barn or something to stay in, I don't mind sleeping in my tent (have a heater) I'm just curious. Also, is it bring your own food or do we want to try something like hog butts, or venison quartered on a slow fire? Guess that would depend on how many plan to attend. I will possibly have at least three total in my group maybe more, maybe less. I'll know more once I'm home. Man, I can't wait to get home...lol

For some reason I cannot get page 2 to open on this topic, even tried to open Recons recent posts to view and IT wont open. Anyone else? I,m posting on quick reply (1st page) to see if it shows....

Well, that worked for the page...Kids here too but i AINT bringin em (LOL), Ya'll figger out a date, I,d be in. I go to Minnesota 2 times every year to ice fish with a buddy, usually around jan and feb, but thats easily gotten around. I,d just make it before or after the quad ride

I am working the 24th and 25th of January so we would not be able to make it.

The dates I listed above are the only ones I could make it on. But we understand if those dates won't work. Maybe next year.

Thanks
Bear

how about the 31st and 1st of Feb Fullrut?? I know I will be off leave and resume Drill in February, but have no ideas of the dates yet. Hopefully shifting to the right one weekend will be ok, hate for anyone to miss out!

31st and 1st would work for us!

Hmmmmm..... Might have to get the Cat out and come and play too. Sounds like it could be a good time.

sweet the list is growing. Even with the cold, this event should be a blast

Cold weather is by far the best for these events,

1.No sweating, stinking, hot and sticky!
2.Makes you love the camp fire even more!
3.You can always put on more warm clothes in the winter, but you can only take off so many cloths in the summer.
4.Hot food tastes that much better!
5.Gives you a good excuse to cuddle with your special someone! Hu that is if you’re bringing them, I’m not snuggling with anyone from this forum! Ok maybe a little, and only if you will respect me after words. :rolleyes:

Bear

Bear, I won't tell anyone....lmao....just kidding, ain't happenin...But your right, it all sounds good

January 30-31 will work. We'll tentatively plan on that date.

We'll worry about the food later. I do have a place to camp. We have a barn thats pretty nice inside but no heat. We have plenty of tent area also and we can have a huge bonfire. Hey Bear pm me sometime, we live real close together. Kneeling Over A BOONER, HOPEFULLY is right on your doorstep. Hey wtlhaven- HERE KITTY KITTY KITTY! I think I can find some catnip if your interested.

Good one!!!! Gonna take more than some nip to satisfy that Cat!!!! It don't like following either.... :p ....

Any of us from north central IN? Big van, for car pooling, big trailor for quads.

Its been a month since the last post...SOOOO BUMP BUMP!!

I won't be able to make anything around the last week of Jan or the first week of Feb...........

My wife and I will be on our 20th Wedding Anniversary sea cruise, all around the Western Carribean Islands.

I guess this time, I'll just have to miss the cold muddy rompin & trompin good time. :p

Hey fullrut is this ride still on? There hasn't been much discussion on here lately about it. I reckon everyone is out deer hunting. I heard a rumor that Haymaker went out and bought a new quad just for this ride. Sounds like a blast.

The end of january (30th, 31st weekend) I,ll be in minnesota ice fishing leech lake, dangit.

Hey fullrut,
Is there going to be a hayride that night after all the trail riding during the day.

I don't blame you for going up there! We have killed them on leech lake several times in the summer! I'd rather go fishing up there than riding any day!!!!!

I might be up for this.

The more the merrier. Easy riding and lots of socialism. I think Trophy and wtlhaven will be here rip. I don't know about a hayride logger but I do have a ginormous bonfire waiting to get lit. Just a little boyscout water and she'll be ready to roll.

I'm still game, and bring a buddy, and possibly my Cousin. I know its still 2 months away, but I'm looking forward to it. I have my Brute in the shop getting service, so she will be ready to pull the Artic Cats out of the thick...lol

Artic cats getting pulled out, now thats what Im talkin bout.

Man this is gonna be an awesome party. Bear you are so silly.

I know ain’t I a stinker! :p

Pulling Artic cat’s out? Hey if you’re not stuck then you’re not having fun!

Although I do remember my Cat doing a lot of pulling people out in Evart’s KY when they were screaming for help.

But don’t worry Recon just like the snuggling comment I won’t tell anyone when my Cat rips your Brute from the mud with her Claws.

Man this is going to be a good time!!! I can’t wait!!!

LMAO...... Now that right there's some funny stuff!!!!

well, not sure what kind of mud I'll get into, don't have snorkels or any mods yet, but Bear, I won't even charge for the first pull out, after that its 20 bucks a hook up. It definetly is going to be a blast can't wait. Anyone staying the night out there? Might set up the tent in Chrises barn

Bear, just remember about that $20 charge when the table gets turned. You can make some good money that weekend!!!!....

As much fun as it is pulling people out with my Cat, I must say watching Mamma Bear; my blond 120lb 5,2 wife riding her 250 4X4 Cat through everything the big boys do and then watching their faces as they get stuck and she fly’s right by em is priceless.

It’s even better when she turns around to go back and help some old boy get his big beast out of the mud with her little 250.

Watch out boys she is crazy! And she lets that Cat run!

I let her lead once, I say once because I could not keep up with her so now I lead.

He who doesn't lead-FOLLOWS?

Man, I hate that I'm going to miss this ride.......... y'all are going to have TONS O FUN!

Guys, been trimmin trails all day for this ride. Lots of new trails, can't wait to get these new trails pounded into shape.

Chris, let me know if you want some help with the trails, I'm on leave with nothing to do most days.. Sent you another PM also.

Chris, I live pretty darn close to you so let me know if you need help with anything. Maybe meeting before hand to plan and help set up? Any who just give me a shout. I sent you my info via PM.

Man this ride is fastly approaching. Wouldn't it be cool if we had some snow for this sacred event. Gonna be a great time. Hopefully wtlhaven can bring trophyhunter and ripleyshooter.

I think I can make it. I'll try to get in touch with trophy and haven. I think it will be neat to meet everybody.

Man, this is killin' me! I WANNA GO!!

well guys i`m going to try and make it,busted the crap out of my plastic on my HONDA(long story) so i`m going patch it up,a few zip ties,good as new..lol
hey chris i got a couple space heaters i could bring for the barn if you think we might need them.

so did we decide on Saturday Jan. 31st?? I'm alittle confused. I think a Saturday would be best.....

Ya Jan 31st, into the 1st,,, I am also off Friday the 30th.

Ya the 31st. As soon as season is over Ill send directions.

Hey fullrut haymaker doesn't live very far either if you need some help. I'm sure he would help. No worry's trophy hunter like you said it's a honda so I'm sure it's ready to go. This is going to be a great time.

this sounds like its shapin up to be alot of fun, so how many are coming?? it will be great to meet up with a few more of you guys, looking forward to it.chris if you need anything let us know.

Hopefully 20-30. Although the last big ride I planned 96 ended up attending. We made the Dirtwheeels magazine. CAN'T WAIT.

its going to be a good ride. I also look forward to meeting ya'll. Hope there is some snow!!

Yep, sounds like fun. Although it sounds like I might need to Slime my tires. Never know when something will fall off of those Hondas.... :p .... .... Looks like junior might be coming with me now too. He was pretty excited talking about it over the weekend.

Trophy, I'll have room on the trailer for your quad if you want to ride up with us.

A honda on a trailer? I figured he would ride it up. No trailer queens allowed. just kidding.

i dought anything will fall off the hondas,but i bet you will be behind them..j/k
the way mine looks you never know..lol
yea i`ll get with you and we`ll make a plan.

hey rut you suppyin the rilms sausage?? i bet you still got some of mine from last year!!

Supplyin the rihms sausage? Are you crazy thats expensive stuff. Taking about 100lbs up next week! Can't wait.

Let's see here. With 100 lbs of meat and at the rate 2.4 lbs of meat to a roll of that famous stuff, you should get back a ATLEAST 41 rolls.... Man you'd think a guy could spare a few rolls for his H.H. buddies now wouldn't ya Trophy????.... :p ....

If I can talk dad into going i'm sure we could bring a few logs of the famous Rhims sausage! This sounds like it will be a really good time.

wtlhaven,,,seems like your right,,,WHERES THE LOVE????

You'd think since Fullrut's only contribution is organizing the ride, cutting new trails and providing us a place to ride, that he could atleast provide some food and beverages. Oh well some people are just like that I guess.

i would think... i even bet he gets a discount.

i hope your not taking me the wrong way, i`m just messin with chris,i don`t exspect him to suppy food, drink,location, and everything else and i just show up.
i`m not out to take advantage of him.
the rilms sausage was an inside joke between me and him,from last year.

I see how you guys are. I might expect that from an Artic cat guy, but not a honda brother. Man i tell you what. You want me to buy the gas too? lol

naa if we run out we can syphon some out of your state owned truck...lol

The great governor took that from me. So now what are you gonna do?

i guess we have to bring our own...
that sucks about the truck.. wow..

Ya know Trophy, I'll bet it's a Ford anyway. You know, either battery powered or runs off one of those big rubber bands. Get'n gas from it wouldn't have been an option anyway... :p ...

All joking aside, I definetly don't expect anything more than a place to ride since that's what he'sffering up. Throw in some good times with old friends, the meeting of new ones, and we've got something great!!!!

Trophy...I know you guys are just messin with Chris. Heck if ya can't mess with him who can you mess with. I just hope he don't charge for parking!

10.00$ per carload.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

that includes riding, dinner, drinks and the sausage right Chris??

j/k

That would be 25.00$ a carload for that. You guys are a bunch of cheapskates. jeez! eat your food tina. just kiddin bout the price. ITS FREE!

So you all can see what my Ride looks like...might be kinda hard to make me out, being so far behind

Never seen a blue one before. THATS COOL!

That is a cool color!!! Is that a Colts blue or Kentucky Wildcat blue?

THATS A RIDE FROM THE FUTURE 2066 wow lol jk

Yeah, I noticed the date after the picture. And its COLTS BLUE!!!!

BTW,when new that color was extra money, think they called it Electric Blue, you can still get a 650 in that color, but not the 09 750's

Here is another pic, when its clean

Bet it don't look like that very often.

Recon, I thought you were riding a kawi not a cat. When you said you would be so far behind I associated that with a Cat rider. Now you have me really cornfused. If I were to buy anything besides my honda it would be what you are riding. This is going to be one good time.

Well, I really like it, it is an 07, only had a 100 miles on it when I got a month ago. It isn't EFI, so very very cold natured, but once warmed up, runs like a beast. I had to adjust the needle jet up two clips to get it dialed in. If you punch the gas and it hooks up, it will flip over!! Nothing like a 700lb machine that does wheelies with just a stab at the throttle... Looking at some Maxxis Bighorns, for when I goto Evarts and other rough riding areas. I had heard that the stock Dunlops just don't hold up?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: ..... Goooooood one!.... Ya know, I'm sure there will be several more blue quads there by the end of the day. Well, maybe I should say black and blue. Some CATS can carry quite an attitude ya know.... :p

Nice looking ride Recon!

Yeah, yeah, might have to come up with something like: "WINTER REDNECK ATV OLYMPICS" or something. That way we can shut up all the Kitty's....lmao

wtlhaven, thanks, I really like it, looks like my evarts ride might be in jeopardy of being cancelled, the LT in Afghanistan that the ride was for, is still there waiting on equipment to be shipped out. So I'm really looking forward to this ride.

I also posted that we are riding next Saturday at Interlake if anyone is interested, come on and ride. Should be plenty of mud!

Guys, had to hook the winch up tonight in 2 different spots. The new rope works great. Since the woods has been logged all the trails are smeary. I was pulling a 4x8 trailer with target stands is the reason I got stuck though. Usually HONDAS will never get stuck. Ya Know.

hope you didn`t pull any trees down, i know if you get a honda stuck your in pretty bad...

You're right Trophy. The hook treees were bending pretty bad. Fianlly came out though.

Wait till you guys see all the trees Fullrut has pulled down trying to get that Foreman pulled out.

I sure hope none of them there slop holes are as deep as some of the B.S.'n going on here. If so, we are all in trouble.... :p :p :p

Thats a real good one wtlhaven. Maybe the best post yet.

HERE IS WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE FOR THE ARTIC CAT'S




FEAR WILL NOT BE THE ISSUE AT THIS POINT!!

LOL

WOW! That is awesome. Here kitty kitty kitty.

Notice how they just kind of sit there and keep to themselves. They know they are better off doing so, cuz that's one BAD kitty!!!! Just as all Cats are!!!!.... :p

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

maan, its gettin deep...lol

Sure is.

Fullrut; I hope your mud is as deep as it’s getting in here!

Momma Bear and I are hoping to get our conversion van by then so we can crash in that instead of a tent.

If no other kids will be there I will not bring mine, but if someone else is bringing the youngsters then mine will tag along.

This is going to be a great time.

wtlhaven is bringing lilhaven. I will probably come up to the house about 4-5p.m. and hang out with the little girl, but anyone who wants to stay can. Theres plenty of parking/camping spots. Should be a good time.

Hey wtlhaven how old is lilhaven? My daughter is 13 and she loves to get muddy on some ATV rides.

How many are staying the night? Or are most people only going for the day? We need to figure out this stuff so we can make plans.

Is anyone planning on staying all night? Just curious.

I'm not planning on staying the night, but you never know.

Bear, he will be 9 then. He'll have his quad, but depending on how things are on the trails, he may just ride with me. His quad don't have much ground clearance so if it's muddy, he will be stuck at every hole. Then if there's much snow at all, he won't be going anywhere either. It's kind of a wait and see thing for him.

As of right now, we are not planning on spending the night.

Most of the trails are easy riding. Kids will be able to ride almost all of the trails. There will always be easy ways around the tough spots. Not too many tough spots here. Most of the trails are flat or moderate hills. All kids are welcome, after all that is the future of our sport. Bring on the kids.

Amen Chris, if I could get my Son to keep his helmet on, I would give him his quad, maybe this Spring, might have to start him out with an open face..When are directions coming?

BTW, Here was my last OH S$%T on Saturday, took about two hours to get it out and cost me a new belt, which is going on tomorrow. Lesson learned....

It really wasn't that deep, until the Brute started digging down to China, then it went from bad to worse!

Recon, A new belt just for being under water and/or mud? Is that an easy item to mess up on those?

If you don't get stuck then you didn't try hard enough!

Well, as you can see I was nose in, so in reverse, its all high gear ratio, plus I had to leave the quad for about a 45 min walk home, called a buddy and then went back out. By the time I got back to it, alot of the sand and water pretty much glued the wheels in place, and when I gave it throttle the wheels would not move, probably burnt the belt at that time. The picture doesn't do it justice, it was like clay/glue. Being only a high gear ratio didn't help, not like low gear in forward motion. But yes, because of the torque of the Brutes, the belts will go long before any tranny or engine parts. Once stuck, get pulled out.. A clutch kit would help and I'm looking into that next.

Just go to www.sandcreekarchery and on the home page it will give you directions to the barn where we will ride from. If you can't figure it out pm me.

Too bad BOWBO won't be here with a new ride. I am sure Cory can put some pics up so he can see what he missed though. Have fun on the water BO. What are you doing on the water anyway, FISHING? I would imagine some of the artic cats will be fishing at this ride to. For a tow strap that is. lmfao, war u @ haven?

Ooooh, I'm here. I've been putting my chest waders on. Figured I'd better before all this chit gets waaaaaay too deep. Tell you what, just keep that tow strap wrapped up on your front rack. That way when I need it to pull you out no one will be fishing....

I learned a valuable lesson at Interlake,,,dont let your radiator collect more mud then is on the ground..I kept it clean and rode all day,,theo popo's didn't fair to well. Towed Two out and a third was working on it. UUUUM lets see, Artic Cat,,,oh yeah, they were too far back to really get into the action..

Just look for the Blue BLUUUUUUUR!!!

I did find one pic of an Artic Cat

Recon;

hmmmmm.... looks to me like the Cat was the only one brave enough to try the mud hole? The other not so brave machines are just standing back watching....

You try it! No you try it! I'm not going to try it! Watch out here comes the Cat! He will try it!

Big cats are not afraid of the water!

Nah, he's just going in to retrieve some poor Honda or Kawasaki that's at the bottom of that hole and should have known better!!!!.... ....

Looks like to me, that his Loyalty ran out and is about to abandon ship!!


And the rest are there to give him a ride


The Brute rider in the upper left is coming to the rescue!!

I'm not real familiar with that area chris, if I'm coming down 65, where do I get off and from there guide me in, dude.

I just told you the other day when you were at my house dude! :rolleyes:

UUUHHH, I have A.D.D DUDE!!

I think you would take SR 46 Cory. Ask Bo though. BO KNOWS. Hopefully it will be frozen the day of the ride. If not we might have to move it, seeing how we will be riding the walking trails for the archery range. Don't want to tear up the walking trails.

:rolleyes: .... I can see where you might be afraid of the mud and all, and make up the excuse that you just don't want to make a mess of the trails, but hey, it'll be OK. Don't worry about getting stuck. I'll be there to pull you out.... :p

I'm sure it will be frozen, but if it is postponed let me know, I may goto the Badlands the 24th instead if it is cancelled, didn't want to be gone two weekends in a row. That would be too bad, been looking forward to the ride.

So with this thing a week and a half away, who all is planning on going????

Looks good, ground is as solid as an ice cube. The cats might even be able to make it.

If it's open to anyone I would like to come. I just purchased a new quad from Farm and Fleet. She's 4 wheel drive and one sweet ride. I don't have a trailor or a truck but if I measured correctly it should just fit in the back of my van. My buddy haulled it up to my place after we bought it. I don't think he can come though.

Count Mama Bear and I in, plus one or two girls 13 and 14 years old. depending on how big a trailer I can get.

i`m in... looking forward to it!!!

Gonna be a sweet time. I wouldn't doubt we don't have 30 plus quads. Probably start about 10 am. Who all is coming?

I'll probably be there. I have a good winch on the front of my Honda I could help you pull out a few cats if needed. I have a nephew that is a little slow, I asked him if he wants to go with me and he is all excited.

I'll be there! Ripley: I'm sure your nephew will fit right in....

I'll be there, not going to the badlands this weekend, but am riding tomorrow around the house..May be bring a friend or two, not sure yet..10am sounds good to me.

Ok so just to make sure we are all on the same page.

We are meeting at Chris’s place at 10: am Sat the 31st for the ride.

The ride will last until around 4 or 5 pm or until your good and tired.

Any ideas as for lunch and beverages?
Should we make it a group effort or just bring what you want for your individual groups?

How many miles of trails are there? Will we need extra gas?

Will we be riding as a group? Or each to his/her own, at his/her own pace?

Thanks
Bear.

You will not need gas as long as you are full at the time of arrival. Beverages are up to you. If you want to drink adult beverages that is fine as some of the guides will be. As far as food I would say bring your own or we can go up to Etown for lunch, about a 10 minute truck drive. Probably will be too cold for a cookout. We only have 175 acres so we will cover it in a hurry. If you want to ride on your own that is fine, but I would imagine we will ride as a group. The main thing is we have a good time and get some good riding in. Look forward to meeting you all.

Wow, looks like there's gonna be a few inches of the great "white death" come Saturday. Should make for some good riding. One thing has got me wondering though..... Should I bring my blade so I can clear the way for the Hondas????.... :p

Put my blade on tonight to help clear the "WHITE DEATH". Man if we get as much as is predicted this should be an awesome ride. Its snowing really hard here. Once again if anyone needs directions go to sandcreekarchery.com and click on the directions tab and that will bring you right to the range where we will park.

Looks like we have around 6" and rising so the ride should be awesome.

STILL RISING!

Hey Wtlhaven I'll bring a strap to tie on the back of my honda to help pull out the some of you cats.(just kidding man hope to see ya there)
My nephew is ready to go he is bringing his three-wheeler and he is ready to ride. He cracks me up.

I rode a little tonight and the honda went great. Can't Wait.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin..... Unless I run out of gas, I won't be needing pulled, and I'll be sure to fuel up good so I don't have to worry about that. You may want to hook that strap to the front of your Honda instead of the back though. Might save you from having to dig it out of the snow later on when you get stuck....

Chris, How much snow did you all end up with???? Did you have any ice???? We had around 5"s of snow, then an ice crust about an inch thick, and about 6"s or so of new white stuff on top of that. That ice crust makes for a real pain clearing the driveways.

I'll have to post some pics later....

Same here.

Hey ripley what kind of trike does your nephew have?

I tried to load my new quad and didn't measure correctly I folded both handlebars in. Then pushed it back out and the sheet of plywood i was usin for a ramp broke. I might just come down anyway and ride with someone.

Just ride the quad down....lol

It will be myself and a friend,,,we are meeting in Edinburgh at 9am should leave plenty of time to make the rest of the trip.. See you all Saturday...Then its off to Evarts the following weekend...YAHOOOOOO

Just to make sure,,,,you are right before CR 600, correct???

I've been using google earth, I see a house and big white barn,,pond behind the house???

Do we turn on 600 or goto the barn?

We are right before 600. The big white barn is where we will park. You will see a changeable message sign on it, turn into the barnlot right there. C-ya then.

I just wish I could ride mine. I flipped it and destroyed it. I have fixed the final drive and have an axle on the way. The rest is cosmetic (I hope)

Hey fullrut my nephew has a honda big red three-wheeler but it has been modified a bit. He found out he has to work and he won't be able to make it Sat. I was hoping he would be able to go, he is a lot of fun. He is in his early twenties and he is a little slow but he is a hard worker and he just says the funniest things. He can be the life of the party.

You are still going to come aren't you Ripley?

Yeah I'll be there. I am looking forward to it.

Thought I would cook some hotdogs for lunch in the concession stand. If anyone wants to bring chips or something that would be good. Should be a great time. Already have a big fire built up. The snow is just right to ride.

SOUNDS good Chris, I'll bring some chips and stuff, no biggie..


HOGDADDY, you ain't right dude...lol

Sounds good Chris,

Anything specific you want us to bring?

We can bring some chips, and a side dish or two.

Some pop or adult beverages if anyone wants anything specific.

Do you need any cups, or plates, or serving stuff?

Just let us know.

I will be bringing three ATV’s with four people at 10am then later around 11:30 or noon I have one more girl being dropped off after soft ball practice, so I will need to meet her at your barn and then catch up with the group.

hogdaddy.. it didn`t happen if you don`t have pics!

I have plates at the barn. I would say just bring whatever you want to eat besides hot dogs, and whatever you want to drink. I don't think my foreman will pull 2 people hogdaddy you will probably have to ride with someone on an ARTIC CAT. You might as well come on down though and join in on the fun.

Bud, I'm glad you can finally talk about it. I know it's hard to admit the truth sometimes, but you're doing pretty good so far.... LOL :p

Pretty good a' haven. Guess I'll see hogdaddy riding with you tomorrow huh?

I got it figured out. Hogdaddy can ride behind me-ON A SLED! I'll give him a heck of a ride.

i know the snow isn`t the only thing that is going to be deep tomorrow...lol

WOW!!!!!! What an awesome ride we had 2day. HOGDADDY where in the heck were u at?

really awsome!! and a great big thanks to you chris for havin us all out,i really hope to do it again sometime.
and hey where were you hogdaddy, we were all REALLY looking forward to meeting you.. bud you missed out!!!!

Had a good time Fullrut. Thanks for having us over. Anybody want to make bets on how many pics recon took.

Very good time Chris. Thanks for putting it on. The boy had a great time too even though he couldn't ride his.

Speaking of Recon..... How's that nose doin bud????

What a great ride Chris! Thank you and your dad for hosting this ride, what a great time!

I really liked meeting everyone and putting a face with the forum names.

My daughter and her friends had a ball, thanks to everyone for making them feel welcome and helped them along the way. They were really tired when we got home. And trust me that is a good thing.

Can’t wait till next time.

Thanks again Chris!

Bear.

ohh i thought you said `flips`recon took.

Just wondering if anyone had heard from RECON yet?

Great time! It sure was nice meeting everybody and putting a face to the name.

I'm guess'n Recon took 300 pic's and 3 flips!

Hogdaddy did you get the van stuck or what!

Sorry everyone that I missed the ride. I would have enjoyed it for sure. Sounds like a good time. We ended up camping all weekend at the lake since my quad was down. Sure was surprised at how cold it got. I'll try to come down next weekend.

Hey Fullrut I am thinking about buying one of those windshields like you have for your quad. I was just wondering if you think it would fit in a van with that on there or should I remove it during transport. I was also wondering if anyone has some detailed plans for constructing a set of loading ramps from plywood.

Camping at the lake? Hogdaddy you must be one tough dude. I don't think we are riding this weekend, but next time we do ride I definitely will let you know. We are all really looking forward to meeting you. Ripley if I were you I would just haul your ride on top of your Volkswagon van, not in it. You could probably just make a windsheild out of plywood. Sure would be alot cheaper than a Honda one.

no word from recon???? guess his wife put him in the doghouse...i hope he is ok...

I hope the doghouse is the only thing recon is in.

lol true... anyone know how to get in contact with him?? just to see if everything is ok??

I have been trying to call him for 2 days with no answer, and no answer to my pms. Surely someone knows something?

I'm guess'n he is mending some fences at home, since you guys were such a bad influence on him. I am looking forward to seeing some of those pics though.

Hopefully he has healed up okay. I bet he was sore on Monday.

I should rephrase the last post and say I bet he was sore on Sunday.

Hi, ya'll, did suffer a concussion,,,got out of the VA hospital last night.....some minor plastic damage on the Brute,,,but can't find my camera anywhere,,,it might be laying out in the snow somewhere...Had a great time,,,probably a little too much city water,,,looking forward to the next ride,,,nice meeting you all...

Glad to see you are ok buddy!

same here.. glad your back with us..

You had me worried too Recon. Maybe I should have stayed and kept riding co-pilot. NO, I shouldn't have!!! Glad to have met you , Idaho, and other HHers . Hope to have my own ride again next time.

No kid'n, you had us all worried. Glad yer OK and back with us....

Yeah glad you are okay recon.

Man I'm sorry I missed this outing. You guys planning another one? And I gotta throw this out there.... I LOVE MY CAT!

Anyone who kills a 200" deer is intitled to like Artic Cats. lol.
For those of you who don't remember greenhead killed a whopper a couple yrs. ago.

It'll take more than a couple flips on the Brute to keep a Warrior down for very long! Glad your okay!

LOL Thanks fullrut. Your good friends with Mark right??

YA!

**** COREY!!
What the heck went on man?!?!

Give me a call bro!

I rode on the wild side Bo...lol,,,lost my camera,,,,is anyone going to post some pics or what??????

Went to Evarts from Thursday tell yesterday,,,man what a place...it will spoil you bad..Ernie, when you get your RZR,,,we are going there soon,,,you will absolutely love it....

Need to plan a trip there with this group...like nothing else, I'll tell you that,,,no flips either,,,cuz if you flip there, you could DIE!!!

well if i know you were going to loose your camera i would have took a few..lol maybe chris will find it, i would think it would show up pretty good in the ground, unless someone rode over it and sunk it...

The snow is finally off so I will look for it tomorrow. Did you have a good time with PO Cory. I am booking his house for labor day. did you stay in the white one accross from him or the double wide next door too him? Did he take you to the white rocks?

Po was great, stayed in the white house, the only thing I didn't like is it didn't have a garage like his other rental.. Heck of a guy,,don't think we went to white rocks, we did some on park Friday then on Saturday I went with a group to Martins fork, via jones creek, stopped in Cawood for fuel and food. A 12 hour ride if that tells you anything...You should really consider changeing from Labor day to the first weekend in August for the club to club ride if possible,,,check it out chris, will be camping instead of paying for rentals so it would be cheaper in that since?

Cawood is a neat little place isn't it.

Found the camera. Send me your address via pm and I'll send it back.

Talk about luck.... LOL.... So was it laying next to some blue pieces of plastic???? :p

or EMPTY bottle of adult beverage..lol
so how bad was it busted up?? good eyes chris!!!
