Riding yesterday at sunmine road

I went riding yesterday with a friend at a place called sunmine road, going up was a piece of cake , coming back how ever lol I came across a mud hole that was just about 2 times the size of my 4 wheeler . I seen a trail around it but I thought " I got thru all the other ones with no problem" so I hit it pretty hard and stopped then sunk . about 1 inch of the top of my wheels were out of the water and I was centered out , I tried for 15 min. to get out even with 4 wheel drive it wouldn't come out , I was slinging mud/water 8 feet in the air and still not moving a bit . So I shut it off and waited for my friend to see I wasn't there and turn around , just took him about 45 min. to figure out I wasn't behind him .
When we tried to get it out , even with his winch it wouldn't pull me out ,he had to jerk me out of the mud hole , I carried at least 80 pounds of mud with me lol . On the way home riding on the road if I got over 20 the steering started shaking and at 30 mph the whole 4 wheeler shook , I thought "oh know what did I mess up" when I got home and started spraying it off , it had a big hard clump of mud stuck in the rim lmao . Then I get up this mornning and my front right tire is flat ,, just can't win lol and the morel of this story is , " ya never know how deep it is"

Where are the

Hey im over here on maple fork road,how in the world do you get out to sunmine nowadays.The way i used to go from maple fork now has 2 major big trees cut and laid over in the trail with no way around...i miss going out there!

you go to the glen jean chevron (use to be) then ride under the 4 lane ( rt 19) then on the left there is a octigon house with a creek running beside it , just before you cross the creek on the left is a trail that goes back in the woods , there are two turn offs , the 1st one take the left trail , the 2nd one go right and that takes you stright to sunmine at a place with 5 trails comming into one , go left again and stay stright on that trail and it will bring you out on sunmine road across from the old church


Sorry about no pictures , I was in a hurry and forgot my cam

last monday a firend and I went riding out at sunmine , we went (almost ) to the back side of plum orchard lake , someone had cut a path thru the tree we hit last time we went in the winter. They have been loging out there and it wasn't to easy to find the trail there but we did , we got to about a 1/2 a mile from the end of the trail and a huge tree about 25 or 30 feet long fell across the trail and no way around it (next time I'll take my chainsaw and cut it) . So we took a break and I noticed my front tire was going flat (again) I broke it down once and cleanned the mud from the bead and tire but I guess I missed some , anyway we got back home ok ,, it was a fun trip , might be going back sunday the 22nd , If I do I'll post it in here a day before we go so if anyone want to come along your welcome just let me know and we can meet at the glen jean cold spot

That sounds like a good plan,ill let you know a day ahead on saturday if ill make it.I really need to dedicate some time to the rzr for upgrades but everytime i plan that the weather is better suited for riding than upgrades.As long as the weekends are nice,there probably wont be much upgrading going on.....hehehe
