The wife, son, dogs and I took the pioneer up north to Pittsburg, NH. We rented a cabin on Back Lake at Tall Timber’s Lodge. Nice little side story open arrival and departure, our cabin, Gramps, was one of two original cabins built on the lake. Front porch about 6’ from the lake.

This area of the state is the northern most section of the atv/utv trails that are a 65” width limit. The Ride the Wild corridors pass through providing destination riding to other towns. There are also local club trails on about 8000 acres of timber company land, that’s where we mostly stayed.
Off the trailer and ready to roll.

We arrived Thursday afternoon in the rain and trails close at dark so no riding the first day.

Friday was still raining but we stayed relatively dry with the roof, windshield and soft mid panels. I had brought the soft upper doors just in case, but we never needed them.
Mostly single track trails there were easy and some dirt roads.

marked this spot for next time. Trout stream that originate a couple miles from the Canadian border.

The trails were well marked, I didn’t end up buying a paper map, but we had the tablet with Gaia and gpstrailmasters files and the coverage was 95% I would say. I’ll get some screen shot from the table this weekend. Trail maker.

Friday afternoon we went towards another stream and some dirt roads to cruise and out a few miles on. The boy was good for about 2 hrs before needing out.

Saturday was much better weather, perfect temperatures with sun to cruise with the windshield flipped up but heat noticed.
More trails in the morning, plan was to make a loop to the northern most trail, benefit of owning a pioneer, no worries about solo travel.
Trail junctions we’re general open and allowed you to stop if you wanted. Snack time.

No luck of mepps or joes flies, couple nibbles on worms, but the bugs were brutal so we didn’t stay long. Trail view

Best part about this area is the trail network in town. Parked the truck Thursday and made store runs, went to breakfast and got takeout all with the pioneer. The boy did well with his helmet. He has a big noggin, at 20 months he was too big for kids sizes. Went with a Daytona shell to keep it light. Wife did have to hold his head during a few sections once the sweet sound of the motor out him to sleep.

put about 100 miles on in two days of riding. Already setting the stage for a return trip, possibly in the fall. I’ll get some screen shot from the tablet this weekend, was able to track each ride. Pretty cool to see the stats once you’re done.

Was able to make the same trip again this year with a few modifications. We stayed at Tall Timbers again but across the lake at a larger cabin because our group was bigger this year. A buddy, his wife and their two kids, sister in law and niece were able to join myself, wife and two boys.view from the new cabin.

Friday morning we got about 25 miles in before the kids needed out.
Same lookout as last year but with the addition of my buddy’s p700-4.

Found a nice place to stop and let the kids skip some rocks and check for some fish.

Saturday we got another 25ish miles in with one machine due to a baseball game.

The tradition has been to take the trucks up north of town to a stretch of road known as Moose Alley on Saturday night for ice cream and to see if we can spot some critters. This year did not disappoint, we saw 6 moose.

Our turn around, Third Connecticut Lake, is just around the bend from a border checkpoint into Canada. More rock skipping and drownin worms.

We didn’t get as much riding in this year due to weather and keeping the kids happy, but time spent at the cabin with good friends and family is hard to beat.
