20/10: ATVing - part one
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
Our friends Colin and Margaret live about 4 1/2 hours north and a bit east of us. As they own ATVs and live near a lot of ATV trails we decided to take our ATVs and go for a visit. We drove up yesterday in the rain. Luck was with us and it was sunny and clear when we woke up this morning --- a perfect day for ATVing.
Our ATVs waiting to be unloaded.
The magnificent view from Colin and Margaret's deck.
Zaph. He really wanted to go with us.
Colin and Margaret's friend Fran came with us and led the way. Fran is 76 years young, grew up in the area and has been ATVing and snowmobiling for years. I think she knows every inch of the woods.
Rest break. It's amazing how hungry you get riding around in the fresh air. Might have something to do with the adrenalin pumping through your body as you pick your way up or down rocky hills, drive (or should I say plane) through puddles and small bogs and dodge trees.
The river we stopped by for our break.
The route we followed took us to the sugar bush. There was lots of tubing to drive under and a fallen tree to drive around. I'm amazed at the abuse the ATVs can take. The building in the photo is the old sugar house. I believe it is around 80 years old. As the building is on crown land it took four years for the leasers to get permission to build a new building, which is now under construction. The larger and heavy pieces of equipment are being moved during the construction process with the building being built around them.
Happy dog ... didn't get to go but got the stick that was wedged under my ATV. Don't know how far I carried it.
