    12 Mile to 5 Mile Pass Trip Report

    I just came back from ~65 miles of riding. My goal was to get from 5 Mile Pass to the East Tintic mountains just North of Eureka.

    From 5 Mile Pass, I rode all the way to 12 Mile Pass. From there, I took Allan Ranch Road until it dead ended at the ranch (6 foot wall of snow where the plow stopped on the County road). I then back tracked and rode all the way to the north side of 5 Mile Pass.

    While in that area, I ran into the film crew for AYL.

    A few photos.

    Seems they are again mining or something up in the 5Mile area. The trail at this point was completely obliterated. Approx. GPSr coords for this spot is: N 40

    Never been an ATV enthusiast but I'm always a little jealous when you post your rides.
    Anyplace around that rents ATVs? I'd love to ride out with you sometime...

    You have any experience riding? I have 3 ATV's and could let you borrow my big 4x4 Kawasaki and take you riding - but we'd need to get you a bit of training first.

    Have a helmet?

    Looks like a fun time. I just found out this weekend that the worst part of winter riding is digging all of the snow out of your machine before putting it away. Everything else is a blast! There's a lot of wildlife out there, that one buck looks really nice.

    Since it had warmed to just barely above freezing, I just stopped off at the car wash and sprayed all the packed snow off my machine before parking it in my ATV "garage".

    That would be cool as hell.
    No experience, no helmet. My roommate has a motorcycle helmet I may be able to borrow, but I'm not really sure whats appropriate for ATV use. Training and crawl phase seem like a good idea...
    Always checking out your photos; sure looks like fun.
