Trail Blazing with Mark

Distance = 56 Miles Jeff’s step brother Mark came into town this weekend, and wanted to go riding with us. They still needed to load up his ATV and drive over to Jeff’s house, so I rode alone for a while. I was heading into Indian Creek, and heard an ATV that sounded like Brent’s. Sure enough, when I got to the Island, and looked below, there was Brent stuck in a real deep hole, the ATV was just about on its side. He looked up at me and waved me down, I could tell me was happy to see […]

Finding New Territory

Distance = 48 Miles We got lucky, and had good weather today, after an entire week of rainy miserable weather. Jeff and I took advantage of it and went for a ride. We started out the ride like we usually do, checking to see if anyone was in the Indian Creek and Table Top areas. We saw a group up on Table Top, it was a mixed group of utility and sport ATVs. We pulled up next to them and stopped, a few said hi, and nodded, that was about it. We didn’t know any of them, and they were […]

Mothers Day Ride

Distance = 27 Miles Yet another day of overcast skies threatening to rain all day. But that hasn’t stopped us in the past, I was wanting to ride anyway, then Drew called me, wanting to know if I wanted to go out riding with him and Jeff. Needless to say, it didn’t take much convincing, so I loaded up the ATV and headed out to Jeff’s. I pasted Jeff and Drew on the way to their house, they were running down to the store, so I went and played around at the bottom of Hells Hollow. There was a trail […]

Riding with JJ’s Crew

Distance = 46 Miles Rain was in the forecast the entire weekend, but I never trust the weatherman, and basically go by the radar map, and what I see outside. We have been having alot of really bad looking overcast days here, that end up being fairly nice. This morning looked like it would be one of those days, so I loaded up the ATV, and headed out to Jeff’s. Sure enough, by the time I got there the sky was clearing up and it was starting to look nice out. Jeff, and I were discussing where we wanted to […]

Late Night Poker Chasing

Distance = 46 Miles Jeff emailed me this morning asking if I knew anything about today’s Poker Run. I had just seen it in the paper that morning, and was about to call him and tell him when I got his email. This one was being organized by the Rivesville Fire Department. We thought we would do the same thing as last weekend, just sorta tag along and see where they went. I had to pass the Fire Department on the way to Bens, and saw about 40 ATVs there. I unloaded at Bens and rode out to Jeff’s house […]

Chasing the Poker Run

Distance = 36 Miles There was a local Poker Run today for ATVs. The basic idea is they ride from bar to bar on the back roads and trails. The plan was to meet up with Jeff and try to find the pack as they rode through. We didn’t really want to ride along with them, but thought it would be fun to stay close by, and watch the mayhem. On my way to Bens house, where I unload my ATV, I ran into Brent, Bens dad. He was on his way to the store, but after he saw that […]

Communications Towers

Distance = 46 Miles Ben and I got an early start today, we set out on our ride at about 10:00 AM. It was a beautiful day, in the high 60s, with the sun shinning. We started out at Hawkinberry Hollow today, which is on the other side of Rivesville, to the Southeast. There doesn’t seem to be quite as many trails there, but we wanted to explore more of the area, and had only been there once or twice before. At the top of the very first hill, there is a radio or cell phone tower. Some of it […]

Leisurely Day to Myself

I woke up today to the sound of pouring rain. Not a good sound when you had plans of riding. I waited it out for a few hours, getting a few things done in the house. The the sun started to shine through the clouds. It was about 1:00 PM before it really started to look nice outside, but I still had the itch to ride, so I gathered up my things, loaded up the ATV, and headed out. I didn’t start out on my ride till about 2:00 PM, but by this time it was looking pretty good outside, […]

Bottom of Coopers Rocks Falls

Today was overcast most of the day, and we had a couple short down pours. Sam and I drove down to Beaver Hole, an area of woods next to Coopers Rocks. Our goal was to hike over to  Coopers Rocks, and find the bottom of a set of water falls that we had found last year. The top section had one large drop, fallowed by several 10 to 15 foot drops. We found them by hiking down from the top of Coopers Rocks, and we knew that their were more to them down below. So we figured hiking up to […]

Same got the ATV Bug

Today was a bit of an overcast day, and there was a good chance of rain. My buddy Sam wanted to get together and do something though, so we went out to Indian Creek to ride around some. Sam doesn’t have an ATV, yet. So somehow he talked me into letting him try mine out. He followed me out in his truck to Indian Creek to the first stream crossing, where Bin and I had done the Stream Riding last weekend. We took a few videos, so I made a small video from them all. I didn’t get it on […]
