    Default RE: Geocaching/ATVing Event

    Last year I decided to host a geocaching/ATVing event . . . but canceled it for a variety of reasons . . . including the fact that at one point it appeared as though there was only going to be three people there.

    However, this year I am giving some serious thought to trying to host it for real this time around.

    I'm thinking of setting it up for The County as I'm pretty sure I can get a campground right next to the extensive trail system, non-ATVers could stop by if they so choose and it seems as though there are 10-14 trailside caches that could be done in the area.

    Anyone interested in the concept . . . besides you Hiram . . . I know you would be interested.

    I have a Rokon that can go anywhere your ATV can and some places it can't but it couldn't keep up since it does about 18 mph tops. The 4 wheeler I have (Kodiak 4x4) goes fine but has no brakes. LOL

    By the way, On the trails up in Moscow there are now a lot of caches that can be gotten by 4 wheeler.

    I almost bought one of those a few years back! but the whoe 18mph thing was quite a turnoff... do you have the wheels that are also the beer ke... i mean extra water and fuel storage?

    and bring the kodiak! just make sure to ride behind someone that does have brakes!

    Here is mine. A guy is driving up from Mass to buy it this weekend. (probably)

    Some guy put a 340 snowmobile motor in one. It goes a lot faster than 18 mph. If he didn't kill himself on it. LOL
    I have seen pictures of others with Honda 125 and 175 cc motors in them too.

    nice! I can't imagine them being too stable over 20mph though....

    Ah, brakes are over-rated . . . I went most of last year without brakes . . . of course they usually had me leading the rides. On a serious note . . . the Honda I ride shifts down to a granny gear which is nearly as effective as brakes and in fairness I had some brakes . . . just not much. This was fixed last Fall though.

    Ah yes . . . geocaches and ATVing in Moscow . . . so I noticed after this past weekend . . .
