Headed up to Streamer's Log Cabin with the boys from RI for a few days of riding. Tuesday we decided on a nice loop North of the LC. First stop was gas at SDR clubhouse. North on 5 to 120 to 21 to 20 and on to Pittsburg. Stayed on the Westside and everthing was spectacular. Over Deer Mt. and on to the East Inlet. Took 145 to 20 to 143 to 112 to 136 (Pisgah trail) back to 20 and back to the LC. Wednesday and Thursday were spent off trail exploring some new terrain. We went as far South as Milan and the trails from Milan North were in great shape. Errol has some challenges but is still accessible. If you need to get to Errol and can make it on fuel cross at the seven island crossing on 119 and head North on 18 into Errol. Trails on the East side of the river were a 10. Very little traffic. On Wednesday we did not see a sled until 3pm when we headed into Errol for fuel and coffee. On Thursday met one of Streamers local friends, Tom. He did things on a 550F that amazed me. Great guide and a pleasure to ride with. Thanks to Streamer and Hyco (Midweek Crew) for a great time and great accomodations (Log Cabin on trail 5).
