June 5th Ride - St. Helen

Finally, an update.

Greg and I had a good ride in St. Helen June 5th. Guessing we did close to 50 miles, including riding all the way into Roscommon for a bite to eat.
















We actually met a Sheriff at the gas station, and we apparently where following all the rules because she was very polite and wished us a good weekend.

Greg's new quad is a beast, but it has problems at stop signs.



In pure Greg fashion, it has a slight fear of mud, choosing to go around instead of the noble route.





We found a really nice scramble area that has turned into a lake.

Mackinac Bridge


Hey this isn't necessarily related to the blog, but thought it was a cool pic. I have some more from under the bridge.


Edited to Add (ETA): I took this picture 30MAY09 from the Light House Tour Cruise in Mackinaw. This is from the top of the Shepler's Ferry. That is the UP side in the background.

June Riding????

Who has plans to ride in June? Jana and I were discussing weekends and she has a shower the 7th so I am free to ride that weekend. The following weekend we are going to the cottage (June 13 - 14). Then 21st - 22nd is fathers day weekend so I am available again as Jana is going over to her Dads. Then I standing up in a wedding on the 27th but would be available on the the 28th because we will likely be home by 10 because I need my beauty sleep...

We discussed trying the Baldwin system last year and I just read they groomed all there trails this spring - so no woops... Maybe try that or wherever. I think Silver Lake will end up after Labor Day.

So lets here whos available for what weekends and maybe hammer out at least one days worth of riding.

When is the next ride?

I can not make Silver Lake June 5th-8th due to family coming into town.
But "Heather" and I are good to go for any other time.
The St. Helens ride was alot of fun!!
It was nice to see everyone and the best part of the whole day was that Larry's quad was fully functional!!
One thing that I love about that place is that no matter how many times I go it seems like I ride someplace different!

On the trail of a unknown beast.

There’s something in the Woods of St. Helens, as this beast is unknown but familiar to all who have ridden in the deep darkness of the woods. Some people say the stories are just all fork lore. However, the evidence is overwhelming and the tales and rumors are all too real.

Many locals have speculated that this monster is a giant cat or bigfoot-like man beast. Most say this unknown creature smells of garlic and mysteriously plugs drains with hair or sweater wool like fabric. ATV riders of all likes have entered the trails never to be seen again.


Perhaps the riders had gotten lost, ran out of gas and food. Maybe swallowed by a big mud whole with no one to help, or even stuck on the bottom of a sand hill with not enough power to make it to the top. Well that would be the easy answer to these disappearances.

The locals would say the beast knows no limits and runs outside the laws of physics. It has no weaknesses to sand, mud, hills, tight and twisty trails. A long straight away will not even be an easy escape. The ATV riders who never returned where all easy prey say the St. Helen locals.



So beware this Sunday, for you never know what will be hiding or lurking at St. Helens off exit #222.
