A Fall Ride

Some unusually spectacular fall weather prompted us to take the new four-wheeler off the home trail to the Knik River Public Access area. It's an adult go-cart land for motorized vehicles set in Mother Nature. The weather was sunny, about 47-degrees, and windy. We threw on the long johns for the first time this season and loaded our Grizzly into the Silverado.It's a myriad of muddy trails near the Knik River and the sand dunes give you a great view of the Knik Glacier and beyond.
Those photos were just to prove to our parents that, yes, we wear our helmets. I thought it would be funny to drive off and leave Andy stranded but as you'll see in the video, I had a change of heart!
We were glad to see only one abandoned vehicle and that there wasn't much for hooligans in the area. It's cleaned up so nicely in the Butte that maybe next time we'll leave the gun at home. Another ride will hopefully take us all the way to the Knik Glacier. The snow arrived on the mountains as we played outside and it made for a nice parting shot.

Looks a fun, and, yes, thanks for the helmets.

There is one requirement of a full-face helmet...airtime! Lets see that 4-wheeler fly!
