| Chadwick was rough for our first time. They have great bathrooms, camp sites, and had very little people there. The riding was a little tough as our guide my buddy took us down, down, and down this hill. Then we had to get back up. Rock drop offs as we went down so of course there were rock drop offs as we went back up. I got 2 of the 3 atvs back up what I fondly called Devils Staircase. Bike guys were huffing and puffing at the top as I rode my wifes grizzly up that hill. My buddy and son pushed my sons polaris 200 up. Then I rode my Raptor 350 up. I was king of the hill 2 times. Anyway the riding could have been better as we had a bad guide. I do plan on going back and finding some better trails to ride on.

| Oh yeah now that sounds like a great time.
Chadwick is a blast in my opinion and can't wait to go back sometime soon. |

Well the Chadwick forecast is calling for a good chance of rain through the rest of this week and weekend. We might put the trip on hold. Maybe more guys can go next time too. It's not bad to ride down there when it's wet because the rocks soak it up well, but I'm more worried about having to camp in the rain. My tent didn't keep out the water very well last time. All the rain this summer is really getting on my nerves!! I'm not sure I even remember how to ride at this point...I don't care how green my grass is. lol |

| The 200 went up remarkably fast. With my buddy on the throttle and my son on the other side walking or running beside his quad it went up in about a minute to a minute and a half.

| Yeah, I would agree......showing up on a Friday night and leaving by 2:00 PM on Sunday was quite a challenge......But, we rode every trail that we could find and then some I think....LOL |

| I would definately agree with you on that one too Bryan!
It is probably one of the best, if not the best challenges that I have encountered in my 30 years of riding. |
