cowpuc Posted January 20, 2018 #1 Posted January 20, 2018 During our 1st exploration of the Flaming Gorge while headed to the west coast during 2017, a local resident of Mountain View, Wyoming (met him after we invaded their local shooting range and confiscated their range lean-to to camp under during a mountain storm) had told us about a trail thru the Uinta mountains of Utah that, due to our obvious bend towards the "rougher then normal outdoorsy lifestyle" (his words) thought we would enjoy. After telling us about his successful Elk and,, get this,, MOOSE hunting expeditions into that vast mountain range there was no way,, no how - Tip, Tweeks and I were gonna leave the area without taking an extra couple days to further our exploration therein.. Placed by the hand of God Himself as a backdrop to the often overlooked and seldom ridden Flaming Gorge area and even though the Uinta mountains are a very strange bunch in that it is the only mountain range in our country that run east to west,, we found them to be absolutely nothing short of spectacular.. Here the 3 of us are again,,,, all alone,,,, high on a mountain out CTFW..

SilvrT Posted January 21, 2018 #5 Posted January 21, 2018 My ride highlite of 2017 (which was really the only one coz I had no bike) was when we were camped in Sevierville, TN. I rented a Harley and hooked up with @Zzyzx and we rode the Smoky mountains, Tail of the Dragon and a few other places which I've forgotten the name of.
Zzyzx Posted January 21, 2018 #6 Posted January 21, 2018 Met a real sweet gal that loves to ride so we headed north to the root beer run and for a day at the international. Got to ride the Smokies with SilvrT. Picked up an 84 to rebuild. It’s been a much better year for me.
RDawson Posted January 21, 2018 #7 Posted January 21, 2018 Air Force museum near Fort Walton Beach after we got chased out of Daytona by the weather. The only long ride I got in this year, but it was a great 1900 miles. Wind so strong the ocean was sideways.
