Company Trail Ride

[Mike]

Yesterday I loaded up to take the 6 wheeler about 50 miles south to a company ATV ride. They had a mud bog that I was sure I could win plus I could really promote 6x6's and the site.

I haven't had a chance to take the Max out since I replaced everything so I was pumped for the past two weeks about going! I checked the fluid levels, oiled and tightened chains, went out and bought a helmet, charged up the cameras, gassed up the Max and headed out yesterday morning. After getting a little lost I finally arrived and paid my $10 to get in the door.

This place (TNT Motorsports in Chester, SC) is really geared towards motocross riders with several tracks but it also has a mud pit and about 8 miles of trails for ATVs. At the entrance to every trail was a gate that was as wide as the most narrow point along the trail. To my dismay every trail was only 52" wide. So I couldn't even go riding and the mud bog was located in the middle of one of the trails so I couldn't go there either. I didn't even take the Max off the trailer. I just turned around and came home

Uggghhh!

Whipper,

There is a problem with going back after it gets dark , and making the gate wider. What happens if Mike goes back to this same atv park and some one sees him pass through the gate , and knows he could not pass through it the last time he went there? What happens if farther down the trail, Mile is confronted with another gate intersecting another trail ? What will he do then ? Most of the state run trails now only allow 4-wheelers that are 50 inches wide and not over 600 pds.

MUDBUG, I was only kidding. It was a joke.

Why dont you try Gulches orv park! They are in Laurens SC. The park is built for 4x4's (JEEPS) You will have a blast, there are about 35 trails, a huge mud pit, and I have requested that the atv trails be cut wide enugh for my Argo! I'm friends with the owner, and he's a great guy, and it's a great place to ride.

BTW: He's got about a 2acre pond, that's not on the trails, but he lets me play in it! Guess it's because I'm the only one that can so far!
