P1000 Black Hills Ditch Creek 62" Trail System

[-Bear-]

We just made 2400 miles total on the P1K-5 since I bought it in September. I racked up 359 trail miles this weekend. I already had a bunch of overtime so I took Friday and Monday off for a long weekend. We rode pretty hard on this trail system. Earlier in the week, there was a pretty severe storm that hit with baseball-sized hail and winds exceeding 70 mph. It downed a bunch of trees making some of these trails pretty challenging considering all I had was a 30ft tow strap and a winch. Overall it was great and we are going back, we only covered about a third of the trails in the area. Very beautiful area with lots of things to explore. Anyone riding who is using the Avenza app, use the "Black Hills NF - Mystic Ranger District - MVUM

Part One

Silica Sand mine used to help construct the Deerfield Dam nearby.

Part Two..........

Bull Elk Tracks

Moving down trees off the road.

This one was a challenge. End up just breaking off the branches and crawled over it with Ronda the Honda.

To be continued again........

Come on out, more than 3,600 miles of forest roads, 600 miles of trails for ATV/UTV. 347 miles of trails for vehicles 62” and less in width and even more for the 50” riders like the P500.

Order it yesterday from Tractor Supply, pick it up on Friday. I also now have a Fiskars Axe mounted in the SXS.

I find that my 20v dewalt sawzall is a good alternative.

Using a sawzall never occurred to me. Nice.
