2007-9-15 Rat Dog Recon Ride
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2007 8:24 am
Went out exploring with RandEye (back from the dead), his friend Mark and Dr. Phil. We discovered numerous waterfalls, plus a number of very cool trails, until Dr. Phil tweaked his right knee. Hopefully it's just sprained! We got back late due to a bridge being rebuilt and no good ways around it, as we had to push-and-shove to get through some of the road decommisions - hate that! Still had a great ride though, and it was good to have Randy back! The full set of my pix can be seen here:

RandEye fires up the mighty XR after being dormant for a couple years. Was good to have him back! Here's Randy's bud, Mark with a Zook just like mine.
Waterfalls everywhere!
Posing for their next album, plus wearing matching-colored clothing, the Three Amigos smile for the cam.
A quad trail raises the smiles on Randy, Mark and I, but not Dr. Phil's knee. And when was the last time you saw one of those open-faced, face masks?
Dr. Phil's asking how to get the Hell off of the trail!
We stopped off in Carson for some petrol and a break and met up with a group of road riders. What's so special about this guy and his VFR? Notice the wheel versus the subframe. This cat showed us his filming of him highsiding just a few miles up the road, where it bent his subframe - ouch! Dr. Phil shows the pain, torture and agony of a swelled knee.
Along one ridge it got bloody cold and foggy - so bad that Mark lost his bike!
Having to bulldog our way through what appeared as decommisioned roads was brutal!
