    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Both bikes are Dr 200's. 1985 and a 2005. There are a few different trails in this area and some good camping,fishing and hunting. Although we only saw one deer the whole day whereas we would normally see a few more.

    If you're not living on the edge you're taking up to much room!

    Cheers, great area for sure. And not a lot of people going up that way. Unfortunately the eastern side of the dome is closed for logging operations at the moment, but there are some good trails on that side also.
