Thanksgiving weekend

[Mtnseeker1]

I have talked to nesolnccc a while back about a possible get together at Gold Butte.
Have not heard back from him so I'm Thinking lets just ask if anyone is interested in a ride/camp/ride out by Gold Butte on the big weekend after they get their feel of turkey and such?

[Mtnseeker1]

Gold Butte is at the south west area south of the Virgin river just out of Mesquite,NV.

[Mtnseeker1]

I'm not sure if this would work out as a ride and camp or a camp a ride.
It does make a big difference from one or the other but maybe this is one that some ATV guys could get into.

Any thoughts's ?

I can string up a mean a#$ tilton hilton with a slugg of tarps and my wyoming saw,Tomahawk and a small pack shovel and 550 cord.
You know like if we get to the high country stuff.

[Mtnseeker1]

And the rest can just show up with the toy haulers.:lol8:

[double moo]

Acca and I camped out at Gold Butte a couple of years ago. Had some good riding but was way the hell out there... We kind of left it as a once was enough location. There is a lot closer area called Whitney Pockets that isn't so far out there that I'm told has better riding... Tanner and his dad camp put there. Might want to look at that as a possibility.

[Mtnseeker1]

Great:2thumbs: I have never done it and all the info I can get is always welcome.
I have never met Tanners dad but I do remember Tanner. Hard one to forget.
That kid can ride!:lol8:

Wish I could go back 40 years and do this thing all over again:naughty:

[Mtnseeker1]

But if anyone has a ride on this weekend say fri-sat.After the big feast, Please by all means holler and let's give something a shot.

Would not hurt my feelings at all to try say Cherry Creek.

May have to change my for sale ad from 6 extra oil filters to three.:)

[accadacca]

I usually try to ride thanksgiving weekend. I might need to stick closer around here though. Have to see how it shakes out. Cherry Creek could certainly be an option.

[Mtnseeker1]

Sweet:2thumbs:
I've always wanted to but never had the chance to do it yet.
It looks like it offers tight and get her out of 3rd gear kind of riding.

[Mtnseeker1]

I meen it's basically about a three hour ride for me and that is great if we don't get any major snow just prior to ride time.
And if you need to stay somewhat close to home and it does snow I have no idea of what may work as a back up plan.

However rarely does it get to snowy on this weekend but it can and has.

But then again I have headed out to the deep creeks for new years before and been just fine.

Let me know.

[fourtycal]

I am not completely sure of my plans yet but a group of old Broncos will be at the sand dunes that weekend and I may just be camped at Oasis with them. I will keep an eye on this thread, a ride around cherry creek might just sway me that way.

[accadacca]

That Saturday could work for me. Putting on calendar. :ride:

The Friday would be a second choice depending on weather...

[REDFOX]

I think that I will be riding Cherry creek for the first time this Thursday before the snow hits. Friday after thanksgiving I will probably ride out at the warner valley area and possibly Thanksgiving late morning in the Santa Clara wash near Ivins.

[Garbanzo]

I was planning on riding this Thursday. I was heading to Hobble Creek, but would rather not ride alone. What time are you planning on heading to Cherry Creek?

who you riding with thursday?

[Mtnseeker1]

The weather will be the deciding factor for me.
I can ride the rain down here without any real issues but blowing snow up that way just sounds like a long ride for nothing.

[Garbanzo]

who you riding with thursday?

I'm in either way. Just let me know if either of you are going .

When he says Gold Butte he really means Whitney Pockets and no the old ghost town out in the boonies. There is some superb riding out there with a phenomenal trail between whitney and gold butte. All the good riding occurs within 30-40 mile loops around Whitney.

[nelsonccc]

I could probably swing a ride thanksgiving weekend in the Gold Butte area. I'm going to Disneyland the week after so I'm trying to conserve funds.

[Mtnseeker1]

Well I thunk we should get down to the riding were we know the weather will not matter.:lol8:

And raise all hell.

[Mtnseeker1]

Trust me it is very easy for me to say.:roflol:

[Mtnseeker1]

I'm in a bit of limbo right now as to wether I can ride or not on this weekend.
Unloaded the YZ today and just need to sell the BRP and find the right KTM and I'll be in like flinn. If all works out right.:ne_nau:

[Mtnseeker1]

It is working very well and If I can get a group together for Gold Butte or Cherry Creek I can almost at this time say I'm in with a smile as big as the Grand Canyon.:clap:

[REDFOX]

Based on the snow that we just received this weekend, I would guess that cherry creek would be very muddy at the very least during the Thanksgiving weekend.

[Mtnseeker1]

Perfect! Just kidding-sort of:lol8:

[Mtnseeker1]

@ REDFOX if your down this way and still want to ride Warner Valley and Cherry creek is a bust hit me up.
Should have a new ride in time.
Love to meet you and ride.

[accadacca]

It is going to be back in the mid 50's here in SLC. :ride:

[Mtnseeker1]

See- That meens 70's here.:lol8:

[Mtnseeker1]

@ Redfox I may have a bad number for you and I may not. Sent a pm with my number.
I have no idea if your staying on through T-Day or if your heading back out today but either way let me know and we'll put something together while your in town.

[accadacca]

double moo and I are putting a ride together for Cherry Creek next Saturday. Who else wants to ride. :ride:

[Mtnseeker1]

I'll be watching this Cherry Creek thing.
Sure would be nice to put some cleets into some moist stuff.

[Garbanzo]

I'd be in for that Saturday. I'll be out of town on Thursday/Friday

[Mtnseeker1]

I've made a commitment with Redfox for down here but I'm not 100% sure he's in.
I know he is here today for a family thing but am not sure if he is here for the week or if his is headed out and coming back for T-day.
maybe he wants to ride FRI. moto and saturday MTB?:ne_nau: If that's the case maybe I can do CC but as of now I'm in a bit of limbo till I know for sure.

Heck it will be snow and ice and you should just get on the band wagon and head on down to the warm ride:lol8:

Warner or bust LOL

[Mtnseeker1]

What time are you planning Sat. Cherry Creek for?
I'm Riding T-day in the am with REDFOX and company and pending the nest day (FRI.) And if I can?
I might just be an IN for CC Sat. But It I have not been there since about 1970 so I would need good directions to find you guys.

[accadacca]

Not sure what time yet. Prolly in the AM. I don't think it would be too hard to find. I could post a map.

[Garbanzo]

Early is better for me. I'm pushing my luck as it is.

I'm guessing by now most or all your snow is melted by now?

[Garbanzo]

That is correct. Keep your fingers crossed. It looks like good weather next week. Maybe.

[accadacca]

It is supposed to reach the 60's this week. It could be near perfect Saturday...I hope! :ride:

[Mtnseeker1]

Dang it I am getting very tempted.
Got a ride tuesday,Thursday and maybe friday right REDFOX?
I know he's saying to himself I never comited to Tuesday. LMAO
And If I have some energy left over and funds maybe a SAT. ride:stud: CC

[Mtnseeker1]

Oh my heck, You know when your just to stoked when your willing to take your recycle oil bucket and oil pan with you to your next ride.:lol8:
Maybe this is one for the Moto madness section.
But then again I'm not mad just friggin crazy.

acca will be wondering what the heck on this one I'm sure.
But the front blinkers will be on shortly.
Priorities is the name here.

Looks like I have the chance to finally meet REDFOX This Thanksgiving and I am looking forward to meeting a fellow Bogley member that I have not meet yet.
He says lets keep this simple and not to radd.
I have choosen a nice simple little ride for pre dinner that I'm sure he will love. It's about an hour or? pending but with lots of turns and just fun easy stuff with some great country and views.
About 97% single track with some easy outs and abouts if he wants to avoid some of the somewhat more intense parts.

Should be a lot of fun before the feast.
Quick simple and painless with some intro to my neck of the scrub.

[Mtnseeker1]

I'm still on the fence for Cherry Creek but it might very well be worth the ride up to do it and I know I will kick myself if I don't.

So give me a map to the hook up area and time frame cause I'm thinking this is one I best not miss.

[Garbanzo]

Here it is coming from the South starting in Santaquin. We usually run west on Cherry creek (dirt) road for a a few miles and find a parking spot. Let's plan on meeting at this location at 9 am on Saturday. Acca and I will be there then.

[Mtnseeker1]

It looks like there will not be any weather threat till Mon. Should make for a bit warmer temps for Sat.:2thumbs:
But I'll have to get a very early start and I'm riding with REDFOX Thurs. and looks like Friday.
Hmm I see a pattern here-Tuesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday.:lol8:
I've gone to the dark side of new bike ownership and I have seen this before right Gaarbo.:lol8:

My heck I'm going to get head fungus if I don't take a break and wash my brain bucket out from time to time.

[Mtnseeker1]

I give a yes or no Friday night.
If yes keep your cell close at hand case I miss the parking area.
It will be a case of me being there first I'm sure and I'll have to be out of here by 4am to make it work just in case of holiday traffic.
Or If I'm in on this ride maybe a breakfast hook up before ride?

We can meet at 10 if that helps. Let us know on Friday and we can adjust.

I rode sunday,today, have a ride with REDFOX thursday and friday my wrists are the size of grapefruits but I think that Sat. looks good so far for me and at this point I'm in.
I hope this don't turn out like green river were I got lost from the area to meet up.

We could meet at the dirt road turn off? Might be easier, then do a convoy to the parking area.

[Mtnseeker1]

Anything at this point would be greatly appreciated.
If we meet a 9am I think I'm only like 3 may 3.5 hours from there but I'll get it figured out.
Can't be as hard as I make it sound for sure.

Is there any chance of a breakfast meet up in Santaquin?

Remember I'll be the clown with the paper map and not a I-phone for directions LOL

[Mtnseeker1]

Or maybe jus a hot coffee or hot chocolate meet up? So I can just follow you guys into the park area.?

[accadacca]

Breakfast? :facepalm1: What is that? :lol8:

We could meet here I guess: http://www.onemanbanddiner.com

[Mtnseeker1]

I've seen that sign for years but is that not in like Nephi?
Bread fast is the thing you do before a ride when your day starts a 3:33-4:00 am LOL
Hell I'll be ready for a nappy by the time I get my as up there.

[fourtycal]

I would sure think exiting Filmore and north past Delta toward Eureka would be shorter for you, but if you want to meet in Santaquin it is not too far out of the way for me.
Just east of the Santaquin exit is a new Maverik. Want to meet there at 8am?

Also load this number in your phone 801-560-1418. it would have connected us at green river too!

[Mtnseeker1]

Works for me if it works for you?
I looked at that route and travelling in the dark and all, But I think If I stay to the high speed I-15 it may just be faster for me.?

Either way it will be a bit of a drive but ?

[fourtycal]

Works for me if it works for you?

Done deal!
Acca/Garb can meet us there or we will be at the Cherry creek turn off where the dirt road starts at around 8:45.

[Mtnseeker1]

The thing is I never dreamed I could not fine you guys at Green /White wash but I messed that one up big time:lol8:

I know, I thought we would be one of a few camps but it was crowded.

[Mtnseeker1]

Hey I have a pretty good idea now where things are now:lol8: sort of
But I have yet to try the 10 mile or luge yet but don't ride me off we will get it sooner or later.
I did have a blast in the wash when it had 2-4" in it and it was great wheel standing fun.
Funny thing is I even asked all the campers and rangers if they had seen a big group of orange:lol8: To no avail.

[accadacca]

58 Saturday. :ride:

[Mtnseeker1]

That will work and I can't wait for a new ride. CC here I come baby.

I do have a chance to meet REDFOX this weekend and that is just cool.
He made me promise so to speek that nothing would be as narley as AF single stuff. I assured him a great ride .:)
I promised him I have a desert single that would get his juices rolling and not be to radd.:lol8:
Then I guess were of to Warner Friday and I best get that one cleaned up hard and early:lol8: Just kidding Warner can be about anything as I'm learning.
But not to fear I will pull rabbits out of the ole hat for my buds from up north.:2thumbs:

[Mtnseeker1]

This has got to be about the best ride week I have had in a very long time.:bandit:Yee friggin Haw:bandit:

[Mtnseeker1]

This is good and I can't wait but bear with me I will be sore and burnt a bit but ride ready!!!!
My upper shoulders and upper arms on the back side have been sore since the purchase:cool2:

[Mtnseeker1]

K Maverik 8:00am and If I get ahead of myself or behind I have the numbers to keep things in check as I am rolling on my way.:ne_nau: Ya just never know some times.

[Mtnseeker1]

I'll give REDFOX a jabb in the ribbs for this ride But i'm sure it wont happen towing the family on T-day weekend and all.
Nothing ventured nothing gained:ne_nau:

[Mtnseeker1]

[Mtnseeker1]

[Mtnseeker1]

Something I tend to forget is those high country morning temps.:lol8:
Those morning temps are more than likely about 32* right?
Cool very cool so don't laugh to hard when I show up in Thermals top and bottom:lol8: BRRRRR:lol8:
Dam I love this 40 to 50 morns.:lol8: Show up for a ride in shorts and go from there.


So Sorry but you guys are missing out.

I forget about you poor(high country) Basturds.

[fourtycal]

I forget about you poor(high country) Basturds.

My bike has been winterized in the shed for well over a month (since White Wash) :fitz:
Really cherry creek is a bit lower and warmer than Salt Lake area. This is a great time of year to ride out there.

[Mtnseeker1]

I'm looking forward to it. Worth the drive I say.

[RedSpecialized]

I'm tyring to make this work some how, but don't know of I will be able to swing it.....:banghead:

[Garbanzo]

winterized


WTF? Keith, is this a real word?

[fourtycal]

WTF? Keith, is this a real word?

:hmm2:At some point a guy needs to hunt, fish, snoboard, snowmobile, jeep, Hunt some more and then go hunting again. It's a busy life we chase. By winterize I mean park in the shed with the fuel off :ne_nau:. There are events like this one that will bring me but I am still trying to decide how I can get in some Chukar hunting and camp a night with the Bronco 4x4 crew at the dunes all at the same time :haha:

Better than being late.

Got a chance to meet REDFOX and we put in a pretty good day today.
A big wash / single and then just a big single desert style.
Man I'm glad my kick starting days are over:lol8:.

[Mtnseeker1]

Man what a weekend.
I had a chance to ride with some really great guys both Friday and again Saturday.
Friday close to home and Saturday up to Cherry Creek.

Glad to see you made it home in one piece. Had fun riding with you. Home the wrists get feeling better soon.

I got this one when we were gearing up.

I managed some video hahahhaa but now I need to figure out how to get it from desk top to here. This may take several months:lol8:.

Great ride with some very fast riders as I learned real fast.
The day was perfect and the ride was worth getting up at 3:00 am and driving for about 4 hrs. to make.
I learned a lot this day and need to fix some suspension clickers some.(the rocks and deep tracks gave me some grief in the front end). To loose I'm thinking.:ne_nau:

I can't say thanks to Mike enough for keeping track of my a$$. If it were not for him I'm sure I'd still be out there somewhere out of gas and huddled around a fire:lol8:.

Man I am so glad I headed up that way for the ride, It was nothing less than fantastic and I hope I cam call on some of you boys for a little getting around that country kind of help in the future.
