LOG CANYON RIDE ~ RZR WRECK

MR. KRYPTONITE · 2008-10-05 17:57:20

The original plan was to go out to the dunes riding this weekend. However as the weekend approached the weather made a major turn for the worse and a severe weather warning hit central Utah. Friday night came and we decided that if the weather was decent when we woke up we would still go out. Morning came and it was raining like crazy! Bordom set in about 10:00 am so we said heck with it lets take the sidexsides up the mountain to find some snow!

We loaded up and left Moroni on the sidexsides. By the time we got to the gas station for fuel we were already quite wet! By the time we got to the base of the mountain we were soaked! On up we went. It was raining soooooo hard and it was difficult to see between the goggles fogging up and the fog/rain upon us. We stoped by a few overlooks along the way.

At this point we were so soaked it didnt matter anymore! So we raced to the top! There were big puddles in the road and the slick mountain mud made it easy to drift arround the corners. We were a little ahead of the teryx flying down the road just out of there sight. There was a slight rock step on the right of the road so I veared off to the left. We were going about 45mph and unaware to me the left side elevated a bit and the driver side of the rzr caught air and tossed us off the road into the trees. We flew along the side of the road quite aways taking out the quakies as we rolled and landed on the passenger side. We were still belted in and we heard the teryx behind us coming so I waved out of the cage as the blew right by us. They didnt stop!!! We got out and had a hard time getting it back on the wheels and an even harder time getting it back onto the road. :shock: We found the other teryx 10 minutes down the road on top of Log Canyon highcentered on a cut off tree. We headed out to the Red Cliffs but it got snowing so bad we turned arround.

THAT IS THE RZR HOOD

What a trip and we found the first snow of the year!!!

Hi my name is Jared..... and I have an addiction........

smokem · 2008-10-07 13:02:22

gee....

it was pouring hard here too and the mountains have their winter caps on now. it makes me wonder that the riders on the tampaxes didn't stop too at least offer a hand. but maybe that's why......

the other side of that is.....two female quad riders in LS stopped and helped me out.

It was easy to understand why the machine behind us didnt stop because it was raining/snowing sooooo hard and our eyes had to be glued onto the road! It was really hard to see...

We did crack an ice cold Mountain Dew after we rolled it back over! Thats the polaris fuel can mount that holds the cooler in.

And Brad.... I do what I can to keep you laughing and happy!
