Riding 4-Wheelers in Apple Valley, CA

Over the weekend, Morgan and I went to Apple Valley to see her Dad down from Montana and her Aunt, Uncle and Grandma. Her Dad brought down the street legal 4-wheelers from Montana, so naturally the first thing I wanted to do was take them out for a spin. Here are some photos of the Sunday trip to the dry lake bed, where we went riding up in the mountains.




Below: This photo is the aftermath of when Morgan's Dad rolled a 4-wheeler down a hill by extreme accident. He was trying to go up the trail (going to the left), but since he had it in 4WD, it pulled to the right, where he lost balance and it rolled down the hill, missing him, and eventually hitting the boulder and settling on it's side in the creek with one handlebar waterlogged. We're certain this is what caused it to go dead, and we were unable to resurrect it. Trying to drag a dead 4-wheeler about 20 feet up the creek back to the trail so we could pull it out of the ravine with the other 4-wheeler is just about as fun as it sounds. All in all, we got it out and Morgan pulled me with the other 4-wheeler back to the house, while her father rode with her Uncle in the truck. It was a fun day.
