Winter 2008

August 30, 2014 Torbay ATV Run: (12 Photos)

12. With regards to ATV Riding, Shooting, & Fishing trips, this has been a pretty lame summer but for good reason. Earlier this year my wife and I bought our first house. Needless to say we've had a very busy summer moving, painting and doing yard work which really cut into my recreational activities!

11. However on Labor Day weekend Maffer and I made a point to break out the quads for a ride. Maffer came equipped with his Can Am Outlander ATV while as usual I would be riding my cherished Project Foreman.

10. One good thing about our new house in Torbay is that I can leave from my driveway and access hundreds of miles of trails in a heartbeat. Under beautiful sunny skies and warm temperatures we left the house and hit the trail bringing us to the airport fence. We didn't have a destination in mind, our goal was to check as many ATV trails as we could and see where they led.

9. One trail took us to Indian Meal Line, where after crossing the road we were met by the same tangly bog Bassan and I struggled with last fall. It was even worse today after rainfall we had this past week. We both got stuck in a mess of bog, logs & tree stumps but were quickly freed by our trusty WARN winches. Somehow a tree got caught up in my frame so the winch worked extra hard to drag my Foreman & full sized log up out of the hole.

8. We decided to turn around here and head back towards the airport fence.

7. We rode the trail all around to the very end of the airport fence which turned and looped out to Portugal Cove Road. On our way back we picked up a side trail which lead to the farmers fields on back of Indian Meal Line.

6. Another side trail took us to an active gravel pit where we spent a couple hours climbing steep rock/gravel/sand piles which was freaking awesome.

1. All in all it was a fantastic day well earned after a summer of hard work, I cant wait to get out again!
