There was standing water all over the place, which means on a quad I got soaked to the bone after the first 15 minutes. The guys on bikes and in the UTV's (i really really want one BTW), were almost completely dry. I'm not going again when it's wet unless I have a bike or UTV, or i'll go during the summer/spring.
The R ran really good besides having an open airbox and most likely letting water in. Though if it did, I couldn't tell. I'm in love with the "luggability" of this LED 350 motor. I still ride like i'm riding my CRF450 and always find myself in the wrong gear on the 2-stroke. Regardless this thing just chugs up the hill like it's nothing. It would be interesting to see how much a stroker crank would improve on that.
Extremely impressed with the way the Ecoboost pulled the 2 RZR's BTW.....and i'm a die-hard GM guy

I was there a month ago and I am ready to go back.
It is a really fun time, I would have more fun if it wasn't for the weather.
Did you stay in a hotel or cabin?

I have been wanting to go there. I only have sport quads. So was there good trails. I was under the impression it was real rocky more for utility quads. Did u run 20" rears and 22" fronts?

Rocks really weren't an issue overall. I've got skid plates front and rear so I wasn't too scared. Don't get me wrong there were some rocks the size of cinder blocks, but they weren't anything you couldn't avoid
All the trails I rode were pretty awesome. If there wasn't so much standing water I would have had a blast. A quad just splashes so much water back at you, it's unavoidable. I think a utility quad would be a huge turd on those trails, no offense to the utility crowd. The different trail heads offer different obstacles to some degree
21" fronts and 20" rears

Looks like a great time! Are those the XC master tires? How'd you like them... just bought a set but havent run them yet...
Yep they are the exact same thing, just called X-Rex. GBC had to change the name
I really like them so far. There was definitely the potential for some sidewall gashing at Hatfield with all the rocks, but all 4 of mine are still holding air with no other issues

This is a couple hours away, when we covered it quicker than we thought we would we almost headed east to HM, if you don't like people this is your place because we saw exactly one quad and no people the whole time there. It's not really well maintained or well marked and some of it is fairly rough, mainly the southern part had some real rocky sections, but it was a good time. The worst part about it is finding someplace to stay, it's not close to anything civilized.

Back to the ride. Nice pics and it's always good to hear of no issues. I really like those seat graphics as well.
