This was my first Real ATV ride in the mountains east of Thatcher, Idaho.

Thanks to Maxine for these photos. She does a great job, and took several more.
All I did was select a few favorites!

Start of trip

We parked and unloaded the ATV's. The trail starts at the base of the small mountain down the road.

I am adjusting the rear view mirror. Not taking a photo!

The photo you clicked on to get here was taken along the ride, before we stopped for lunch.

We stopped for lunch in a grove of trees.

The other ATV is an Arctic Cat designed to carry two people. About all the difference is:

Longer Seat
Foot peddles for 2nd rider
Slightly larger
Bigger Engine

Loading in Van

No, I didn't ride it right into the van!

I set the break, got off and used the throttle to power it in. It has 4 wheel drive, independent suspension and an Automatic Transmission which made it pretty easy to "Drive it in".

It was/is a tight fit getting it in the van. I had to remove the rear view mirror, because it was too high for the door.

The ATV is long enough I had to take the second seat, in the van, off its' brackets and push it right up against the back of the front seats. That left about 4 inches! But, it rode fine! Yes, we tied it down.
