Mario Kart IRL -- What a ride!
 

MarioKart: In Real Life!

I just got back from deer hunting with my DH. (Nope, just saw does).

I hadn't been on an ATV since the Evil Endurance Ride of 3 years ago, when DH took me on a 60 mile ride! :eek: Egad! It was supposed to be for FUN! :mad:

SIL left his 4-wheeler at our place, so DH and I each hopped on one and took off into the foothills about an hour before sunset.

I've lived here in central Utah for over 30 years and had never been on this trail. It only took us 5 minutes to get there! Sheesh, ya think I need to get outta the house more, or what?

I've driven over the Devil's Backbone on a 4-wheeler and this was worse!!!

Up, Down and Around. Speed up, shift up, slow down, shift down, lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down, etc. and again. The pics don't do it justice. Too dark to really appreciate the corkscrewiness of this crazy trail.

It was great fun, though. :) FYI, South Central Utah has over 900 miles of ATV trails!



I'm gonna pay for this tomorrow. Oh my aching wrists!

Wow!! I'm so impressed! I think it's great that you took on this challenge....it sounds like fun! http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/k...es/gogirl1.gif

Thanks for sharing the pics....you looked so cute in your orange sweatshirt and helmet!! :D

Glad you had an awesome time. Thanks for the pics. :cool:

Now that looks like a fun challenge! Geewiz girl, you think you are 15 again??! :D At least you didn't have to worry if there was barbed wire hiding somewhere.... my poor nephew found it where he least expected it while riding his ATV.:eek:

GLAD YOU HAD FUN !!

Vic, thanks for the job offer, but the commute would KILL me! :wink:

BTW, our little rural town has about 2,300 peeps. We already live in the sticks!!! :D

Oweee! :eek: How many stitches? How is your poor nephew doing?

They stopped counting at 100. Most of the damage was to his legs. He was fortunate that a really skilled surgeon was in the ER that day. Thank God he was a smart kid and had on a helmet. 10 years later you can hardly see the scars. Now he's a daddy and his Mom and Dad are just waiting for him to get payback.;)

Ro, are you a plumber also?

That is cool Twink!!! Now that is my kind of ridin'!!! :D

SIL & her hubby go to what I believe may be the same place riding too!

Holy Cow! :eek:

Ro posted pics! They are clear and NOT from her cellphone!:p

The pics are beautiful! It looks like awesome country to ride in. How lucky you are to live in such a lovely area.

Glad to hear you got to a place you haven't been that's right in your own backyard! :)

So glad you are properly impressed. I know I am! :D
