P500 Weekend Rides

[futzin]

@KyGal83 & @futzin I couldn't find the thread on it, but sorry we couldn't make your trail cleanup this weekend. The sad thing about it is we went through that area on Friday and again on Saturday. We had talked about stopping by but life wouldn't let us.

Yeah, I can't find it either.
We rode Friday with a friend of ours, Saturday with another friend and his wife, and Sunday me and @KyGal83 spent some time cutting and clearing. Went through a few tanks of gas and cleared I think 4 1/2 deadfalls. Several more to do I'm sure, but it went well.

On Saturday I got in a hurry and got careless, resulting in a SPIM. Embarrassing, but no harm done.

Today the Forest Service is doing a controlled burn, lots of smoke here at camp.

I enjoy running a saw, but some of these trunks I'm not sure I'm comfortable attacking with one saw. Not sure I'm experienced enough not to pinch it. Really trying to avoid dozing new trails/braids/bypasses, but . . .

I like cutting through the deadfalls, I can somewhat choose how narrow a path to make!

Headed back up there tomorrow to cut some more.

The recovery was the best part:

You say embarrassing... I say entertaining.

Looked to me like he went on his side and attempted to follow it up by going over on the other side.

Gotta keep the oil level, right?

Didn't make it back to the trail, KyG had to work.
I pieced out a tree that I dropped here a while back, and dug up a small stump. Used the Kubota, Suburban, and the 520 (handy little rascal).
Also changed the oil in Critter.

Love the color of that machine!

Love the color of that machine!

I do too! As I've said before, I could not find a single picture of one that was not a Honda generated image. I wonder if a single one was ever sold and delivered.
