| Great team work guys! Thanks to our expert leader Larry, experienced 2nd leader Rich, knowledgeable AlaskaDan, and Chainsaw Power Man Treenotch, we enjoyed an adventure into the Alaska wilderness overcoming difficult obstacles including climbing hugh rocks on steep slopes, crossing a rapid flowing icy river with snow banks, clearing fallen trees from the trail, sliding around in huge mud holes, rain, moose, mechanical problems, crossing a steep narrow ledge, and listening to a bear stalking us roar all through lunch. Thanks to all, I had a great day. (My view of today's ride) Seven riders today with great weather, a few sprinkles early on but then warm and sunny. We cleared the trail of fallen trees thanks to Dan with his chainsaw. Had lunch up on the hill across the river. It was tricky coming back across the river with snow banks still on both sides but we all made it, no problem. The trail was quite muddy in places making for clogged radiators coming back. Ended up towing Dan the last mile or so. All in all a fantastic day and a welcome change to the Jim Creek routine. (Posted on the ATV Club website by Rich) |

| Larry slid off the trail on his adventurous try at forging a new route across the river. |
| Just a split second frozen in time with Dan (Treenotch). |
| Larry seems sooooo happy we were all able to follow him. But I was really thrilled! |

| Larry and Rich deciding if we can make it across the ledge. Yea, we all made it. |
