The locations were great, the event was too as were the guys I rode and hung out with. Nat and I rode with Rack to his place Sat nite and got a shower and AC in the trailer for sleeping. That was COOL and nice of them. Thx for the Yamaha WR250 for Sun. It is pretty much stock and felt under powered and geared way too low, but it did the job and pulled my fat butt up the couple of bad spots with no trouble. I did drown out at the longest water crossing tho. I got within 10' of the far bank and it died. Wouldnt re-start. My boots filled with water. I pushed it out and then it magically re-started and was fine again. Me and creek crossings, MAN!!
The roll chart was something I had never used before. I caught on quik tho and it worked out. We never got lost, but we did overshoot a couple of turns and had to go back. Rack had never used his GPS to navigate so that was a lost cause. On Sun he had it loaded and set-up by another guy so when we were not sure by the roll chart he got the GPS out to confirm which way to go. My GPS didnt get charged when I plugged it in on Fri so it was down n out too.
We have the roll charts so we can duplicate the ride if'n it works out for us to go again. Got to have a dual sport tho since there is plenty of pavement.
