    21st ORT in The Lone Ranger – Interlake 9-21-13

    I like this park, I like it a lot more when it’s dry. Sadly though, it rained about 1.5” the day before we headed out to the park which made getting around to some of the parts we wanted to get to impossible as the hill climbs would have just been a winchfest. So in spite of being denied early in the day, and with a little U-joint carnage, we still managed to cover about 10 miles of the park:…

Even with the delay, we covered nearly 10 miles (including the new trail 19). The park continues to improve every time I go out there with signage and such. We were surprised at how dry it was…

    ORT – Interlake SRA 1/29/11

    I was lacking a wheeler, but still had an itch to get out into the woods. So I grabbed a seat from a friend and rode on! It was fun playing passenger for a change. And yes, that’s about as sloppy as that soil can get. I’m looking forward to another trip out there this year, maybe when its green and not so wet! We covered about 15.7 miles over the course of the day, mostly just wandering around in…
