The Great Snow Ride

Well last Thursday (Nov. 30) Don, after much lobbying by Doug, gave in to the lure of owning a Mighty KLR and bought a nearly new 2004 with only 500 mi. on it.






Don was anxious to try it out so Doug set up a little ride on Sat. (Dec. 2) from around Bradley Hill on Hwy 30 to Birkenfeld on Hwy 202. Sounds simple enough!!




Heck, what's a little snow. We should start dropping down pretty soon.







Or maybe not!!!








We thought we were doing pretty good until 4 guys on quads came blasting by.




After much perseverance and one or two minor mishaps (read...falling down) we arrived at the Birkenfeld Cafe for a much needed burger.






We were all anxious to ride back the way we came but since............ahem..........it was getting late decided it would be prudent to ride back to Astorville on Hwy 202. Don made it through his inaugural ride with flying colors. I think he even wants to go again!
Lots of elk at the preserve.
