David crossing South Fork of Lime Creek near Hole in the Wall junction.
Looked like there had been a blow out earlier in the week.
The normal crossing was still wider and deeper. I looped my bike on the far bank.

~50 miles
We rode into Hunter Creek then up President’s Trail. We tried to make it up to Blue Ridge but were turned around by drifts just before the trail crested.
We doubled back then rode up the SF of Lime to the 1st water crossing. David said there was a big crossing ahead , up to the tank even at lower water so we turned around.
Hunter Creek would be a great early year camp out ( May ). Even though you couldn’t do loops on the single track – you could dirt bike the single track and dual sport the ranch roads & two tracks.
Bike ran better with a clean carb. The trails tire seemed to put another 5hp on the ground. Let me ride a gear higher, but I still need to get where I can ride the side hills in 3rd.
It still sputtered a bit on the ½ mile back on the road to the truck . I’m going to pull out the peckcock & inspect the screens, look at the carb again. Also need to drain the remaining fuel to see how much I burned.
We picked our way trough the down fall ,but the next ride we need a saw.
Me on the way down Prez Trail. I’m taking Obama with me next time. Stay Tuned.

1st ride of year on Lime Creek
Good ride ~ 60 miles: ~40 single track
As you can tell we were turned around by snow drifts & at the end of the day didn’t feel like crossing the beaver pond on the middle fork.
I hit reserve at 49 miles, and then the bike wouldn’t run on the road back to truck past mid throttle. Got some work to do this
