It went MUCH better than yesterday! :P No blood, no pain and no bandages. I made it just over 12 miles just poking around the roads in the area. It was fun...but weird. I am so used to NOT being able to ride on the roads that I feel like I am doing something wrong. I have my ORV sticker...and my ride meets all the requirements of the ordinance...but it just feels wrong. ;) I am glad it is not though! I am curious to see a map...or at least some additional information regarding what is considered a county road. Are seasonal roads county roads? Seems like it...they just are not maintained. That will be the big thing in my neck of the woods...if seasons roads are off limits the riding will be rather boring. All the paved roads are nicely mowed to trail width along the side up our way...I assume that was to make travel a bit easier? Or maybe it is just that time of year to mow for the last time. If anyone wants to hit the roads and shoot over to the Tomahawk trails in Cheboygan...shoot me an email at outdoorsmi@gmail.com. Anyone heard about the different township ordinances? Did any of them create their own set of rules? The Emmet County has done a ridiculously poor job getting the word out about this stuff...they have had two months and I have not heard a word about it. The only things I have seen change are some of the signs on the seasonal roads...they actually have road name and stop signs now. Weird! :P
The four wheeler seemed to work just fine...I noticed that it kind of smells a bit like oil burning but I think it is probably just from rarely being used...or maybe where I spilled a bunch of it last summer without burning it off. Hopefully getting some gas and oil moving through it will soften everything up or burn any excess off. :)
Well, that about covers it for now. I have the bug to get the OutdoorsMI cam back up...stay tuned for that update. I have a PC to run it...just need to get it hooked up. :)
