Then the nice gentle rain shower we had while ridding took a turn for the worst

that's NOT Snow!! we were 40 miles yes i said 40 miles away from camp when this hit.
Ever been hit with 25+ pea sized hail stones going 35mph on a quad? OUCH! we had to pull off and hide in a tree tell it passed[neener]

Then we got to Greens Peak it is a mountain mainly used for radio use but everyone is free to go up it it stands 10,357 Feet High Beautiful scenery and a commanding view of the land.
Here it is 2 miles away from it.

that brown line you see is the ground lvl road you can see in the first mountain pic, if you look really hard you will see a tiny green blotch on the brown road that is a full size truck.

Here is a pic of the land looking off the top of the mountain

it was a GREAT trip it rained every day (witch we LOVED) and it was a good getaway from civilization


oh and we had this little girl walk right up to us in camp

Never a dual moment when riding with my dad a brother-in-law we could go on the same trail 100 times a find something new each time and we dont do no short rides[hihi]
Total mileage for the trip was 276 miles by quad (does not include mileage from house to camp or camp back home) none of a quad trip from the time we left camp to the time we got back was under 60 miles
