The Adventure of Saturday the 2nd!!

What a day, and I DO mean DAY, of riding we had!! The first pic of just a pic of the view from a place we stopped for a break after having lunch at the Leek Springs LO Tower. The middle pic I call the "pregnant tree" which was undoubtedly impregnated by the tree in the next pic which I call "Mr. Tree"!! These trees were pretty close to each other and I think you can understand why I call the latter one "Mr. Tree"! It truly was a beautiful day on the trails and we did enjoy the ride. For the most part anyway. Can you get lost in the woods while trail riding? YES! Can you get lost in the El Dorado National Forest? YES!! Can you get lost if you have the "new" map of the trails? YES!! Oh, did I mention we got LOST???? LOL It's a long and interesting story, but we did indeed get lost. With dark fastly approaching and the quads almost out of gas, we finally did find someone that could and did help us. We were truly miles and miles from where we were needing to be. Bottom line...we called a friend to come pick us up at PiPi campground and she arrived at 10:15pm. We then had to go to where my truck was parked near the Leek Springs LO Tower, drive back up to just past PiPi & pick up the quads that we left at a camp, THEN drive all the way home. We finally got home a little after 3am! Oh geesh. What an adventure! We have now been dubbed the "ATV Mountain Bunnies"!! Love it!! All we can do now is just laugh about it, but let me tell you for sure, when we were in the midst of all this, it was NO laughing matter. We have always helped other people out in their times of need, and this time it was our turn to be on the receiving end. The friend who came to our rescue, spent the remainder of the morning with us, but had to be up at 6am because she had to be at work at 7am. What a sweetheart she truly is. For her we are forever grateful.
