08-01-09 Chase Mnt dust bowl ride

Postby ACLakey » Thu Aug 06, 2009 8:48 am

A very good friend of mine who lives 100mi away and has been working another 100mi further away called and wanted to ride his quad. I quickly got on the phone and we put together the dust bowl ride to the Chase mnt lookout.

Getting ready.

With the thunder storms at night there were quite a few lightning fires around, a lot of the smoke was coming in from No. California.

Dave and his bike. He had a hard time in the beginning but was very comfortable by days end.

The tower

There was a guy manning the tower that day so he invited us up to look around.

Smoke all around

We had one minor mishap on the trip. Super Don lost his transmission so we headed back to help him load up.
Image

After the load up a few of us ran over to a play area we call the moon. It is very soft and flowery in the summer and EXTREMELY slimy in the winter, not to mention it is steep all around. It is very technical and I will have to get better pictures of it sometime.

We had a great BBQ at a buddies house after words....mmmmm Tritip.... Later that night we were treated to a great sunset.

I've been told I joke around too much.

Everybody laughed!

I don't know how the hell he got that thing up there! The main road to the tower is loose and covered with rocks, some in the 10" to 12" size.
