Cool tires Mudflap!....and very nice riding terrain in both places!
Unfortunately, my Rhino is more relegated to being the "whipped work mule" of the property. It doesn't get out much, I'm afraid. |
AWESOME Photos! Thanks for sharing and keep em coming.

Mudflap, great shot of your quad in the Arizona desert.

My Stable at the local Off Highway Vehicle park. The Grizz is such a tight squeeze in the truck bed it squeaks.... . Notice the park benches and shade structures for us riders in the background.

This one here with my my brother down in the creek is one I like. He was going along real good until he hit a really deep hole. I ended up having to winch his coolster 150 out of the creek.

This morning's ride was on forest road 370 which runs along the east side of the Sisters Mtns, and to the top of Triangle Hill. The road deteriorates more every year so now a high clearance 4wd, quad, or dirt bike is necessary.

This is the best membership perk, just to be able to view all the spectacular scenery !

Nice pic Swampy. Looks like an awesome place to ride.

I was able to get a screen grab of my first trip out with the Rhino in the wild. In the picture is the trailer I hauled it on to the property. Once there I hitch it up to the ATV to get all my mining gear down to the stream.
The umbrella on the trailer is just for some shade. LOL it's not a hot dog stand or nothing. http://i.imgur.com/aigI2m2.png It held up well back there with all the creek crossings and side trails. Will get some better pictures next time out. Next to it was a Polaris 350cc which was about the same size as the Rhino. The fenders covered the wheels a little better but other then that the Rhino was on par with it. |
Cool pic and I love the mining operation going on there. Thanks for sharing.

Well, I know the first post says something about 4 wheels, and technically it's not a chinese atv, but here's my street legal ATC200x somewhere in southern colorado. TaoTao 250D engine.

Laid up for a but glad my son and I got out last weekend.

Excellent photo and cool hobby. Always thought I would love to pan or dredge for gold, but unfortunately Illinois isn't known for having much in the way of gold. Unfortunately the only gold nuggets we have around here... is corn!LOL
|
Iowa and Indiana both have gold ... if it was in everyone's back yard we all would be rich. A friend of mine was just out in Indiana .. he did well on the gold.

It's also very cool that someone else here is using their Rhino for a tool more than a toy! :-) Proves they can cut it. |
It's starting to take off in BC again, which is a big part of the original gold rush. My favourite local industrial electronics shop now sells prospecting equipment. I heard about a guy who recently bought some gear and then practiced by sifting sand he bought at Home Depot. He actually found gold in the Home Depot sand!

They are working on restoring the right to dredge in California. AMRA and PLP are both working on it. You can still do pretty good out there using a good ole sluice and shovel though in the mean time.
Sad thing is with my dredge I remove large amounts of lead, and other heavy materials out of the creeks. Some mercury too if its around. All good stuff for the fish. The loosened gravels from the tailing end provide fresh spawning beds, and holes provide shelter for the fish to hang out in during the hot and dry months. The fish will feed at the tail end of the sluice picking out all the midges and tidbits. It's another realm where science suited to political agendas puts the people outside looking in. Floods from storms do far more damage to stream beds then a dredge can ever do. The floods do not remove any of the mercury or lead. They just churn it all up. In California that water ends up in your reservoirs. You would be surprised how many streams and creeks have mercury... and in places that have not had a history of prospecting or mining. It occurs naturally. My Rhino is definitely not a toy. It's my pack mule and one purchase I do not regret in the slightest bit. A couple of easy to do modifications and it serves its utility purpose nicely. |

Back to the Rhino, I got my gearing yesterday in the mail! WOO HOO! Both front and rear....now just waiting on the chain. I can't wait to get those sprockets on..... |
You're gonna like it 2LZ. I wish the Rhino came with that gearing out of the crate.
