    As usual great videos RD. I would love to try that place out. It looks like the ultimate mud ride.

    Ps: If only people would collect feathers like you guys do. Hats off to you and the girls.
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

      Someday though.
      I wonder if Adair would let me demo a set, lol.

      That chopper.......... Very cool. I get to ride in A Stars, and 206's a fair bit, and they are nothing compared to this Dolphin. I'm told that this one and two others that these guys have are the only 3 in Canada.

      I agree with Vader. A set of Adair tracks on your conquest would enable you to go right down the middle of those challenging mud holes and pull everyone out who was following. It would be interesting to see the contrast between the machines with tires and tracks. I know that when we had a group ride at river run in East Texas the machines equipped with Adair tracks moved through a mud hole that was about 200 yards long, it seemed so easy but when you looked back all the machines with wheels were stuck in awful mud and had to be pulled along or pushed. You couldn't even consider going into that area with a quad. When I was at Creek side with Lee's mud Bug equipped Argo Frontier he was unable to move through creek area that was full of soft mud and roots, after Lee finally backed out I drove my Frontier with Adair tracks through that same awful mud with out so much as a whimper from my machine. The difference was dramatic.

          Well, I may just have a way to get a set of Adair Tracks.
          Wife wanted to know if I was willing to install all the new Laminate Flooring in the basement..............I said NO. Then I got to thinking, If I install it, we would save some bucks, I could use those bucks to buy some more tracks (Like I need a 4th set of tracks right?, lol). Anyway, I mentioned my plan to the wife, and she never batted an eye. looks like I have some flooring to get done.

                    Thanks for the heads up on the feathers. I usually end up sticking the ones we find into a stump or something, so someone else can also find them at some point. I do understand, to some degree, why they are illegal to collect, but still think it's just an "off the cuff" rule someone came up with that doesn't actually do anything to protect the birds.

                    Fixed.

                    I wonder if having the Mailbox Status at the top of the screen instead of the bottom might be better. I always fail to scroll down, and never know I'm full untill it's too late. lol

                    Just trying to check out your new vids right now, but it's painfully slow to upload here where I'm located at the moment
