Farm Trip 10/30

We got a chance to go riding this past weekend.  I arrived on the farm around 8:30AM and had to leave by 4PM.  My cousin and his son came with me.  My brother and his kids joined us in the afternoon.  I guess we spent about 3-4 hours clearing trails damaged from hurricane Irene that hit back in August.  While cleaning the trails we also found an interesting area that we decided to cut a new path.  This new path has a good size bump that we need to work on some more.  Here is a video of the new path with the jump. (Video)  With all of the rain we have received recently the creek was muddy and a little bit of a challenge to cross.  My nephew got his Trailblazer stuck good one time, but the Chicago winch on my Scrambler had not problem pulling his out.  We probably could have pulled him out by hand, but I had more fun using the winch.  I tried to get a video of this rescue, but did not get the camera fast enough.  This trip was fun and we got a good amount of work completed.  Over the next couple months we should be able to get a lot more work done with the cold weather approaching.  I hate clearing paths when the snakes and bees are active.  The winter time gives me less to worry about when clearing.  Check back later to see whats going one.
