Default Easter off road w/pics

We do this every spring, pack the Coleman and the kids and hit the trails.
We went today after church, it was a beautiful day for it to start, then it got REALLY windy and started to rain.

That bridge we went over was the good one, we went over one that I had to walk first to make sure we could make it without it collapsing.
On the way home the odometer turned to all "8's".
All together we were gone for 7 hours and put in ~40 trail miles.

I agree that the rack looks terrible.... only way to solve the problem is to sell it to me for cheap and quickly.

Spike,

Looking at your pictures I noticed the Meijer's bag in the back of your Rover - you're in G.R.!

Moved from G.R. in '94 to FL. Miss the trails up there - where did you go? I rode my bike at Cannonsburg quite a bit in the spring/summer.

Great to hear that you had a good day!

Matt

The trail starts around Wolf Lake and goes to Cadillac and beyond if you wanted to.
I would love to take a week and follow it all the way north to its end.

They can be confusing because the motor cycle trails and ORV trails run side by side as well as converge several times.

Does the scanguage help you get better gas mileage? Or are you just pleased that it let you know that.

Also i just found out about these due to your post. What else are they good for besides a DTC reader?

Thanks for the help?
