I want to get in on this ride. I will probably only do Saturday. I can be there and ready to roll as early as you guys want, just need to know where.

You just gonna drive up Saturday morning, ride, then drive home that evening?

I might drive up Friday evening if I can find somewhere to stay and drive home Saturday night. I haven't looked into places to stay yet.

Just let me know when the time gets near, and you know what you want to do. FYI, if you drive in to Webster Springs Saturday morning we will ride up to get the group at the resort which will take about 45min and that will be some pavement to get there, but not much comming back. Just wanted to let you know because pavement is hard on tires.

You can move me to the attending list. And I should be bringing another T4 and possibly another rzr. Just let me know what time we r leaving the resort on Sat morning. T4 is coming from Pittsburgh.

I'm ready. Lets go. Always wanted to ride there. It's a long haul.

I know you just want me to take you off the scared list, then you will cancel on me. I haven't rode with you in almost 2years.

Hey I would love to come but it's a long haul for a day ride. If I lived closer then I would come. Would be good to see u guys for sure.

Just leave me on the scared list.

T-Bone its a 5+ hr ride for me. If I come I would be there noon on Fri and ready to ride ~ 1pm. Anyone going to be there around that time?

It's not a day ride. We are riding Saturday and Sunday. Yep I think you definitely belong on the scared list!! Just ragging on you a bit.

Seriously if you ever get a chance you should ride at Bergoo at least once. Other than being pretty rocky it's awesome! Last years ride was terrible though cause it was like 100 degrees and we hadn't had any rain in weeks, even the mudholes were dry last year.

Elk springs is a great place to stay even if you have no intentions of riding. The scenery is second to none east of the Mississippi. There are too many tourist attactions nearby to even list. The wife and I drove 3 hours up there yesterday just to fish and relax, well I fish she relaxes. I will post some pics here shortly of Elk Springs and the area.

Just go to www.elkspringsflyshop.com for pics. I'd post some of mine but its more of us drinking then pics of the place!.

Tbone, it's 1 1/2 hrs from JBS to Mom's house assuming you tow at the same slow ass pace as you ride.

It takes me 3 hrs to get to Ashland and I've made it down for 3 day rides.

Don't be a weenie.

James is almost three hours for me. So you think it would be 4 and a half to get there? Is there an address? Would like to mapquest it.

Leave me on the scared list for now.

HEY I'M GOING TO BE THERE AND ANOTHER TERYX. JUST HOPE I CAN KEEP UP MOMMA IS COMING WITH ME. JUST HOPE I CAN KEEP UP BEING OLD IT'S HARD TO KEEP THE PACE WITH THUNTER AND HUMP.

Oh when I go I want to go when Jimbob is there. I gotta meet this crazy fella!

T-BONE YOU COME UP HERE AND RIDE YOU CAN RIDE IN THE BACK WITH ME. I WON'T LET THEM LEAVE YOU BEHIND LIKE THEY DO ME. SOMETIMES THEY LEAVE ME SO FAR BEHIND I JUST GET BACK IN TIME TO GET MY WELFARE CHECK OUT OF THE MAILBOK.

hey I gotta keep them dirty diapers OUT OF THE HOUSE. Its a job but someone has gotta do it.!

Some of these pics I took while fishing, others while riding but all of them are very near to Elk Springs and Bergoo. Like I said Tbone it is the kind of place that your family can go on a nice little vacation and not even have to ride, just sight see.

The best picture is the first picture, Jimbob hung up in the middle of the creek. I have lost track of how many times this crazy ole coot has got hung up in a tiny little creek. Hump for everybody sake please keep Jimbob away from the water.









And how could I miss Finzup's favorite, the trout!! If you order trout to eat at the restaurant, they go straight outside and kill you one first.



The restaurant, bar, and fly shop.



The lodge and some of the trout ponds.

If you want the address to the resort, look it up. I'm leaving from Mom's house each day, the address there is 436 Parcoal Road, Webster Springs, WV.

Get your dirrections from Mt hope to there so it takes you the best way. Then do it from your place to there for a comparison.

Jump in that Corolla and make it in good time, you can ride with me. Just DO NOT SPEED ANYWHERE ON RT 19 or you will pay.

261 miles, Tbone, you need to move closer. If you don't ever make it, I don't blame you. It can be done in 4 hrs with no problem at all, but that's still alot of miles and alot of fuel. Get in the Corolla and just ride shotgun when you get here.

Nice pics! The 3rd one down is a cool water fall to climb. I took my Foreman up it last year however, this year there were 2 tress down blocking it.

Tell ya what hump....one of these days soon I will come and ride with you guys. I'll try to plan something out.

What a beautiful place! Unfortunately better slide me down to the "Maybe" list.

Will this be a family friendly ride? I have a 4year old that I would be bringing along?

Will you have him with u n a sxs?

I have teryx4. She will be in the rear seat.

There will be a few beers involved, but nobody gets out of line. I don't ride with jerks, idiots, or people that try to kill themselves. We will get some miles in. Your 4yr old would be questionable as far as wv state law goes. If she has a helmet, you would most likely be ok. We will be doing some mild climbs that require 4wd, but nothing I would be afraid to take a child on. I could end up being dusty, and the pace will be fast at times, but I will make sure we have everyone at every intersection, so it's not like we will get to stretched out.
