An enjoyable day.

Yesterday, Sept 05 Stu his dog Tiger and I went for an ATV ride on the East or back side of the Florida Mountains. Left camp around 8:00 am and had a really good time. It was kind of a test run to see how I could do on a days ride. I was quite happy as it turned out. Here are a few pictures taken during the day.

The first three were taken on the first stop we made. We followed the trail on up the hill past this building and found a mine and a lot of the stuff that goes along with it. There  was a structure with 4 legs which were set in concrete inside 55 gal drums.

All in all it was a great day, The leg held up better than expected although I rode side saddle most of the way back. Stu said he would not tell anyone that I rode the ATV like a girl. we got back to town around 4 Pm, Stopped at the Elks lodge and had a couple of cocktails to wash down the dust and headed back home.

 

That’s it until next time.

Hey Chuck:

It's great to see that you are "out and about"! We are back home after our Alaska trip and thinking about the trip south this winter.

Hope to see you in November/December.
