I didn't know it had rained, forest roads were packed no dust but just fine. I headed down the trail, I knew then, stop! But noooo, press on. The first mile or so is an easy downhill slope with erosion bumps. A little twitchy but it was ok, I was thinking, hope I don't have to come up this. It's not steep, hardly noticeable but on my tires and greasy, would be a challenge. Got to the lower section, couple of mud holes, hmmm, this is not going good. Then..a real mud hole, too deep for this beast on these tires to go through. On my dirt bike I could skirt the edge and not even get muddy, but this thing would slip in for sure. Plus remember, I'm on single track, packed tires and need to turn this beast around with almost zero traction for my boots. I had seen a possible bail out a 100 yards back. Walked back to check it out. Nice grassy 2 track just barely used. Probably by the volunteers getting equipment in. So go fight the beast to I get it sort of turned around and bust through the brush. Progress! Get on the 2 track, even a little wet this was fun! Then a downed tree, what! Notice somebody had took an atv around the end, off I go, success again! Hopping along, it goes back on the trail, I don't want the trail, lol. But at least I was past some of the bad spots. The problem here is, I'm on trail they've been working, so not much base and red clay, slick! But just a little ways up the 2 track picks up, good. Go 300 yards, can see my road, yea, except there's a forest service bar gate with with wire on both sides. I stop surveying, then notice, no lock on the gate! Freedom, open, get out, close, I'm going home!!
