My friends Ray and Katherine bought this great place out in the country that, among other things, happened to have a motocross track in the yard.

Saturday everybody ganged up to help them move and I took the opportunity to play on the hills and get a couple poseur shots.

With any luck, soon we’ll have more pictures of multiple vehicles across much more of this fine landscape.

We went back on Sunday to help out with a little yard work and do some riding – this time on the ATVs.  My test tow with the Jeep and the ATVs didn’t go so well but I’ve added a massive transmission cooler since then and I decided to just go for it.  I meant to take pictures because the configuration was so ridiculous but we had all ATVs, each about 4′ wide by 6′ long, on an 8′x10′ trailer.  On paper, so to speak, it doesn’t sound so bad but in real life it looked – and probably was – an accident waiting to happen.

But all is well.  Everything was delivered safely, a fun time was had riding, no injuries were sustained, and there’s plans to do it all again soon.  On top of it all, it was really nice to gain the confidence of being able to tow the toys with the Jeep.  That was one of the things on my list that I needed it to do that it didn’t want to do in its stock configuration.  Whether I wanted to do it or not, this thing is going to have to wind up with some modifications…
