[QUOTE="Bryce R, post: 11451, member: 345"] Hey everyone I just wanted to do a write up on my ride this weekend. Just to warn you I like taking pictures so this may get a little long. Here is what happened. My wifes family was getting together and doing some family stuff and my wife wanted to visit them. So instead of me trying to enjoy there company my wife suggested I got riding. (She really had to twist my arm on that) So a quick phone call to my parents and the weekend was planned. They were going to show me some old mines and some awesome back country they had explored years ago. Friday afternoon my parents stopped by with there truck, camper and big enclosed trailer. We dropped the ramp loaded my gear and we were off. After 4 hours of driving we had reach our starting point. Yellow Pine, Idaho. Its an old mining town that has about 30 people living there including my Grand parents in the summer. After visiting with my grand parents we crashed for an early start. Saturday morning things were loaded and we were on the road at 8:30. We had extra fuel, chain saws, tow straps, the works. (Nice having 4 wheelers around to haul all the crap) We ran 5 miles to the turn off and man was it cold in fact I didn't wear enough cloths. My mom bundled up and was still cold. Turn off towards our desination.
