FYI I recommend everyone bring goggles and some type of dust mask or bandana. Unless something changes, it's gonna be miserable dusty.

Ditto X4

No, the P5 posse is too big for me.....I like a tighter posse. Especially when I'm outta town....


NoMo!!!

Years ago one found that gets you in a moderately high level of trouble!

Wolfsnout for the nose and mouth
And any basic pair of MX goggles will do for the eyes especially if they are wearing helmets.

…many other brands for goggles. They don’t need tear off posts or anything. Just make sure they don’t put their finger through the foam in the frame taking them on/off. That and scratches are the two fastest ways to ruin even a high end pair.

Hell I think the Mrs ordered “cute” goggles for the girls for like $10 a pair for TO this year and they were perfectly fine.

Been chatting with @Backwoods about Friday and those who want a shorter ride but want to go see things at Tackett Creek area, Cabin, McLean overlook, Pigeon Roost (called Money Shot before coal company closed it). Can do an offset group leaving 30 minutes after @TripleB to limit the dust train. Leave at 9:30 am and still return around 5pm or so. I'm completely flexible and makes no difference to me. I do not have a set route in mind, just a scenic trail ride. I can go in any direction and show people decent things.

Thanks. Did you get the youth version of the Wolfsnouts?

I honestly don’t remember.

I've been through probably 5 different sets of goggles for the kid. These cheap swimming/glasses style have been the best and I think they sell them at DTF right there by RRB for like $10. They don't get scratched as easily as the lexan on the MX goggles and sit a little closer to their face:

@Adam490, you're too young to remember this, but those glasses remind me of the Sleestaks from Land of the Lost! 😆

Do they have foam or actual swimming rubber gaskets?

 

[Scoop]

Also I wanna be clear on the type of ride Friday will be. It's gonna be a long ass ride. With lots of gravel and blacktop. Also the trail that we will be looking for the horses on, is heavily overgrown with Autumn Olive bushes. Nets or upper doors are a blessing, if you have them lol. Try to be at the campground at 8:30 am, leave at 9am and at best, be back 8pm, if nothing goes wrong. Just letting everyone know so you won't be crying about getting back at 1am, machine, face and arms scratched all to hell, eyes and lungs full of dust and 1/8 of your expensive ass tires gone.

@TripleB will there be fuel stops available or should be hauling more than a couple of gallons of gas?

 

[Scoop]

I’m going. I have the mind of a 12 year old too.

Must. Resist. Posting. 🤣

Yes we are gonna stop at a gas station in middlesboro ky.

If you don't know what an Autumn Olive bush is, let me tell ya: Your body parts will start bleeding just looking at one.

Mrs Scoop just reminded me that we had one of these in one of our flowerbeds (previous homeowners planted it). Every time I got close to it while mowing on the ZT, my left arm would be bleeding in half a dozen places. Suffice it to say, when we had all the landscaping redone a few months back, that bush was the first to go!

Doesn’t look like dust will be much of a problem.

I hope that is correct. I'm in the middlesboro area today and it's a dust bowl. Trail 1 has lots of pot holes so @Backwoods will have a terrible ride.
