First day out this season
Went for a ride near my home finally with my buddy who has an XR200. Ran into a bit of snow so couldn't get to the lake. Still, nice to have the bike out finally.

Wow! Snow! How high in the mountains were you?
I haven't seen snow deeper than 2 inches in YEARS. |

I'm glad you got to ride, Jack. One of my favorite trails is usually blocked by snow until the arrival of August.

I'd expect you'd be pretty high up for the end of June to still have snow. Granted it hasn't been that warm yet up here in the WA/BC area but I'm still surprised to see some snow considering it wasn't that cold a winter either.
Great shots for sure thanks for sharing! |

The elevation near where we were blocked by snow is around 4,000'. It is suppose to finally warm up this week so the road should be passable.

I'd be glad to show you around a bit if you want. I'm always up for riding when the weather is good, or as time allows me.

Nice night
Rode for an hour or so around backside of Hyak ski area. The roads go on forever it seems.

Me and my brother used to ride our ATC/ATV's in the sand dunes of Moses Lake back in the 80's to early 90's. I still have my Tecate 3-wheeler (faster then fast) but have not rode it for many years (sits in parents garage).
Kawasaki is same as this one, just not as clean... http://www.atvriders.com/images/kawa...500-engine.jpg
