Our first of two weekends that we go to Black River Falls, Wisconsin to go 4-wheeling. Bret, Denise, Joe and Nate went with us this time. Joe got a new machine - an 800 Polaris - to replace his 700 Polaris that had a habit of over heating. He didn't trade in his 700 so he brought it with. This way Bret and Denise didn't have to ride double.
Friday Jeff and I went for a ride in the morning. We then met up with the rest of the gang and headed out for a Friday afternoon ride. It was great weather in the morning but sprinkled a little bit in the afternoon. 4-wheeling in the rain is not fun but it only lasted a little while. It didn't take long for Nate to find and get stuck in a puddle.
The next morning we headed out at 9:30 and by 11:30 Joe's new machine was broke down. A screw had broke off and something was bouncing around and put a hole in his radiator. It was toast. Luckily we were at a gas station and not in the middle of the woods. And like Bret pointed out, we could get candy bars and stuff.
So, Bret and Denise ended up riding together after all. Not a happy camper was Bret - but what do you do? Um, the answer would be - BUY ANOTHER MACHINE!!!!
We rode for awhile and came up to a group of guys and saw that one had an accident. His 4 wheel drive went wack and he flipped it. He actually was pretty lucky and only ended up with a hole in his leg. Nurse Denise took care of him and he was able to drive himself to the nearest place of business - a bar in a campground.
Which was were we were heading to so the boys could play in the 4 -wheeler playground. Us old folks decided not to stick around - plus it wouldn't take them long to catch up with us.
We met at a bar in Hatfield to eat (yum, yum) and then we were off again. We were to met the boys at a certain spot but they weren't there. We took off and rode until we needed gas (again) and we headed back. We found out later that the boys decided not to met us because Joe's #2 machine was over-heating. Wow, big surprise there.
The next day we headed out for the final run. We had heard about a mud pit on Wildcat loop so we headed that way. We found it and we had fun. We then went to the nearest town, filled up on gas and candy bars and headed back to the mud. Had more fun and then headed home.
Oh, wait. It wouldn't be a trip to Black River Falls if we didn't tow someone in on Sunday afternoon. Yup, Joe accomidated us. His ride over-heated so Nate started towing him. Then Nate's machine started over-heating so Jeff took over. We made it but it took a LONG time.
Like usual we had a great time!!! Enjoy the pictures.
