Stoneman and crew were kind enough to invite/meet me at Big Rock Atv Park to introduce me to Mud, Trees and Big rocks!!! It wasn't nearly long enough of a stay, but that is the hassles of my Job... He was only able to Get about 20 miles on his Pilot, and I missed the first trip out because I had my Plug coil come unplugged before I left camp.... It took some searching to Find the problem!!! Thanks Massody for the spark/fire tester, I needed/used it!!! After getting things up and running Stoneman came back with a hot front hub, that he backed the brakes off of and was able to continue!!! We then went out for a good spell of long dirt roads, and great trails!!! I was having a blast!!! After Stoneman and Max figured I had become accustomed to the first section we ventured into the steeper ravines and gullies... This was nerve racking for me as I am used to open desert and the trees rushing by me Scared the snot out of Me!!! LOL Stonemans Words.... WELCOME TO KENTUCKY... I fell over laughing!!! We then came back to camp to check on the rest of the crew!!! I noticed my chucklenuts at aftershot motorspurts Long travel kit had my tires toed out a lot more than what they started out as So I had to redo the tie-rods... (This had to be done a few times??? Not sure why???)
Off we go again, this time a little further into the thick trees and steep ravines... Stoneman educated me about climbing these hills which he showed me how easily it would be to get 1/2 way up and not have a way out... In the desert you have lots of room for U-Turns!!! Not here!!! He was a good guide and only lost me a few times!!! This would be a great place to have a get together as they had large parking area, Showers and toilets and still close enough to town for supplies!!! (Walmart and Honda dealer with in 5 miles!!!)
We encountered some GOB'S "good ole boys" in the bottom of a steep ravine we had stopped to stretch our legs at... You can see the mud-hole didn't look very wide but was deep!!! total of three of the GOB's got stuck!! They put on quite a show!!! I think Max Got it on video...
Once again A Big Texas Thank you to Stoneman and His family for a fun day!!!
I have a few pictures I will add later...
