Hey T-19....
 

Well it's April! Did you ride?

This past weekend...still 4-5 feet in the mountains!

trails great up to the end? Last day is official on the 15th...Moose from easter weekend....

I still dont want it to end even though its fishing time......:as:

This past weekend! :kewl: I am toast I can't let go. I may go again but it might rain. :crying: Picked up the 600Sdi and put 620 miles on it in 2 days of riding. What a difference. Cruising at 80 no problem.

Sweet...congrads! They are so different arent they?....100+ on the lake and didnt bat an eyelash (or crap my pants for that matter).

Its killing me that I cant go this weekend...who would have thought something on april 12 would interfere with riding.....:hs:

Does Maine have an official trail closing date....I may have to try for the following weekend if it holds out....I feel like such a junkie right now, I need that next "adrenaline" (pun intended:D) fix....


P.S. that doesnt look like the marked trail....

West Forks Trails.

Niiiiiice...


Wanna go to detox together?:doh:

I will post a youtube link later it is blocked at work. Here is a GPS shot of our ride on Sat. Fastest I got was 103 on Sun.

Spent a good portion of the 300 out in the Allagash Wilderness riding lakes to get to the trains between Chamberlain and Eagle.

Climbed a few Mnts as well. Yeah it was a %$%$%$%$ty weekend.

Bison Burgers for lunch at Chesuncook Lodge.

How about the view from our cabin?

We squared off with a moose also. We had to retreat as it wouldn't let us by. He/She kept turning broadside and pissing. We said that is enough. Best season I have had and it is a shame to let it end.

As far a season ending date there isnt one. The clubs need to pass in the receipts for grooming on April 1st so after that they groom on their own money. Jackman is still grooming as well as one of The Forks clubs. Debating wether to go or not. It is a toss up. Casino or go riding?

I hear ya!

Moose have been cranky with the deep snow. Quick to charge and wont step off the groomed trail. Even a small moose charging you if freakin scary!!! Also saw one down this weekend.. blood down the trail and then down into a 5 foot deep crevase in the snow.

That is too bad.

The pic with the Cat is some serious snow.....thats what I am talking about.....

Well got back yesterday and the pics speak for themselves. Drove up with no sleep after work Friday. Got to Jackman at 6am and it was pouring. Gassed up with 100 bucks for the sleds and trucks and sat in the rain pondering why. Just as we were going to take a nap I heard the tell tale signs of sleet. All of a sudden it turned to snow and for the rest of the day it snowes. A few minor areas of drizzle but all in all we got about 3 inches of snow. First 2 are one of many moose we saw that wouldn't leave the trail. The 2nd is the border cut with Quebec. Still 4-5 ft of snow off trail. Hardly saw any dirt or rocks. Snow is really soft and wet in the afternoon.

Again border cut.

Of course it snowed while we were there is it Jackman. And another 2 moose that wouldn't get out of the way.

A little fun.

AHHH!! I would still go....but someone else cant be convinced...:crying:

I am jealous of the wheelie.....:drool: Sledporn!

Not sure it would be worth it to go. Trails were pretty beat when we left and it is supposed to be warm this week. It was fun while it lasted.

It looks like so much snow that we won't be fishing until July up there

There is still a few feet of ice and the rivers are going to be high for a long time comming.

Nine Mile Bridge June 15th. I hope it's not flooding.

A girl can dream cant she?:)


So I have to ask...are you adjusting the suspension to get it to stand up? I cant even pull the skis up on mine unless I get way back on her....and yes I have a weird obsession with this since I saw a 10 second one on youtube:smash: dont ask....

Those pics were taken after a 10 ft verticle hill to a flat. That is a buddy, I can't seem to find any good photographers to take me. We would just pin it at the bottom of the hill and it would just shoot you straight up at the top. To do those track stands take out the limiter straps and rear couplings on the suspension. Although it is totally pointless for the trails unless you want to crash into a tree.

That is a ways off but Aroostook County had the highest snowfall ever recorded this year. I am not sure how late it affects the St. John.

The pic is a little deceiving..didnt really notice the hill...kind of figured they had to be adjusting the strap or something to get it ...and no I dont care to ride without it...damn! just looks so cool......its one of my "riding goals".....that and we have a riding buddy that I am determined to keep up with for 5 minutes. Then I can die happy! :jump:

You need to tell you buddies that you will no longer be capturing their tricks on camera until they return the favor....:deadhorse:
