HUNTER CREEK 5 17 09

~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 1^st 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 3^rd.

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.
