P500 What did you do to/with your Pioneer 500 today?

[oldfortyfive]

I would love to get one but I already have so much crap in my garage and storage room I don't think I can swing another piece of equipment I will only use a handful of times each year.

12 cu. ft. Lift-Assist and Swivel Dump Cart is what I've had for about 3 years now. It's light and sturdy. I stand it up on end when not being used. Takes a lot less space then. The cheaper carts I've used just didn't hold up. I've had this full of scrap concrete without a problem.

On Saturday I met up with the local snowmobile/atv club to brush the snowmobile trails that aren't normally open to atv/utv's. was a nice way to spend 4 hours in the woods.

Where in Wisconsin are these sno-mo trails? Beautiful.

Lakewood/Townsend area of Oconto county. Red Arrow club, they are top notch and somehow always make great trails out of the less and less snow we get every year.

Doesn't look like less snow for the state in recent years. See page 2

I suppose I should say usable snow, one example last year we got 18" in 2 storms back to back in mid december, perfect for starting the snowmobile season off right.... then right after it was above 45 degrees and rained for 3 days straight.... made most of that disappear pretty quickly.

The Townsend/Lakewood/Mountain area is wonderful. I have used some of their ATV trails when I come down from up north.

Recently did a local ride, 8 buggies total.

Loaned Critter to a couple kinda green friends who acquitted themselves well.
Three Repairus buggies, two of which proceeded to perpetuate the preconception of their particular brethren.

Critter had just run this hole with little trouble; then towed this fella out.

Earlier, he came crashing through the woods eager to tow this one out, as if he was the only one that could:

He overheated before making it back to camp...

I absolutely love my Pioneer 500...

I bought a new utility trailer and loaded it with bags of cement.

This is near Corbin. We're not technically supposed to ride here either (I have been ticketed once), which is in part why I like to keep a slow, low profile, tread lightly approach to riding. One of the other Repairus machines was blasting music way above what I'm comfortable with (even after being asked to keep it moderate), and that's saying something. He got stuck a couple of times, too (4 seat machine with a bed <bus>). High centered, not surprising. The third Polaris was a nice Razr 800 with responsible owners who I look forward to riding with again. Also, the bus' passengers brought along trash bags and picked up trash everywhere we stopped. Very cool.

Loud motors, loud music, trail destruction does NOT help our situations . . . even my speed on the roads is often dictated by sound, not speed.

Green performs the best in the woods! I really like how I have Critter set up. Very capable, but needs shocks.

We went up to Old Orogrande (not too far from the present town of Orogrande) to see the total destruction made by the forest fire (it was in the middle of September). Pictures don't do it justice, not a green blade of grass anywhere. There were some outbuildings that burned, but no homes were lost.






Notice the cement picnic table in the center of the picture. This was Orogrande campground #1. They had already started to clear out the debris.





The fire got so hot that aluminum melted into a pool on the ground. The melting point for aluminum is 1,221 degrees.





This picture was what the hotel looked like before the fire.




This is where the old hotel once stood.





This picture of the hotel was taken July 12, 1912.




This road ends up at Wildhorse lake and Campground, and then a wheeler trail ends up at Hump lake.
