west Harrison fsr casual ride.
well we went we rode we enjoyed.....for the first 20 km at least.
what we saw we liked and will be back Grace Lake staging area  we were able to get some great shots before it happened...    great shot of harrison lake   we went into the campsite at the 14-15 km mark and chatted with the caretaker then carried on heading for 20 mile bay 5 km down the road my carb decides to swallow something and float sticks open. get towed back to camp site and leave wife here with my atv and head back to get the truck with hers  THANK GOD she loved the area and enjoyed watching the fish jump wile waiting for me to return. loaded up and heading back home.  nice shot on the way down..... don't realize how high up you are till you come around a corner and see this.  lol oh ya and on the way back to the truck with hers the throttle cable L bracket snapped off and I had to jerry rig it with zap straps :whistle: but.....we still had fun and loved the new (to us) riding area and want to explore it more :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That sucks! :x That's a new carb.
Glad you made it out safely, and extra glad that Mrs. Midlife is so patient (and an awesome baker  ).Maybe it's time for a new fuel filter.

I'm sorry to hear of your mechanical problems, but you certainly found a nice place to ride.
 You're fortunate Mrs. MidLife enjoys sharing your love of ATVs, and is such a patient soul.  Spud
