dirt dame

Back in July, it seemed that the Uinta mountains were just swarmed with UTV joyriders. But since August has begun, it looks like the summer season for these vehicles is over. There is a lot of thunderstorm activity in August, so maybe the nearby locals don't wish to encounter all the lightning strikes up on the mountain. I had the trails pretty much all to myself, last weekend. If you like scenery. this is THE place to go. I hated to leave around 3, but it's a bit of a drive home, and I wanted an early supper. Besides, there's always next weekend....at least until the first now storm of the autumn. Bugz Beta was ready to go exploring, and the weather was perfect with partly cloudy skies and cool breezes. The dirt was perfect from a rainstorm the afternoon before and the early summer bugs were a thing of the past. The only traffic jam I encountered was a small herd of cattle being brought up the road by three people on horseback. Other than that, only a few people were out and about, and they were on main routes.

I haven't been riding motorcycles much lately Got out for a ride in March, but haven't had much time for doing everything that I'd like to do since I had to go back to work. Admittedly, I have been doing a lot of fishing on my days off....but last Saturday, I decided that I needed to either ride one of my dirt bikes, or start putting them up for sale So ride it was. A day in the Uinta mountains.

Big Bear is really the closest place that is cooler than anything in SD county.

Nice!

I hope all you SDAR members have a great Easter Sunday, whether out on the trail or relaxing at home with family.

I miss McCain.😥

Up where I live, I spend most of the winter trying to figure out how to escape "snow day". This usually entails checking to see if the highway 191 is open to through traffic between my town and the Utah border. If it is, I check the Flaming Gorge webcams to see if there is snow or not. If not , I hightail it down the road to places like Manila or Dutch John to enjoy a snow free (or at least snow freeish) day in the back country.😎

Yeah, that's what they said back in the day too. I guess nothing has changed.

Years ago, you could take road licensed 4 wheel vehicles in there for a day fee. Not sure when or if they let motorcycles in. I think vehicle travel as been limited, compared to the old days, for other than camping and hiking access.

Seems like he gave up the public riding life after he and his wife bought a place with a nice house and enough acreage to set up a few single track routes. He was still running his suspension tuning business out of the garage while looking after their first son that they had recently had. I guess the stay at home, suspension dude dad life appealed to him. Some people just move on after they start a family.

Yes, that's why it's "artificial" intelligence.

I thought to myself "if that's average, I'd hate to guess what the extremes were".

This is what AI thinks the average adventure rider looks like.🤣

There are lots of how to videos on Youtube. Some involve heat guns, some don't. I chose this one because it had Rolling Stones music.
