Looks like a pretty good time. Thanks for the pics.
Montana ATV Rides
Some friends came up here a couple weeks ago and we went and rode the Blacktail/Wild Bill National OHV Trail here in Lakeside, MT. The trail system itself isn't very long, maybe about 15 miles at the most, but the rocky and rough condition of the trail keeps your speed quite low (5-10 mph, but slower most of the time). It has several obstacles along the trail including tank traps, logs, etc. It also has bypasses for each obstacle in the event you don't want to try it.
The Wild Bill is really designed for full size 4X4's such as Jeeps, but it's also quite fun for ATV's and probably UTV's. I got hung up on one log obstacle, because I still have my snowplow mount on my ATV, so my buddy pulled me out with his Arctic Cat.
Well, onto the pics. Hope you enjoy them!

We made a rest stop at the top of Blacktail Mtn (6660'). This is looking east toward the Mission Mtn. range and Glacier National Park

Of course we packed a couple coolers, a BBQ a roll up table and chairs and had a picnic lunch out in the sticks. We had my .44 magnum handy since we were in the middle of Black and Grizzly bear country and there were plenty of huckleberries and good burgers and hot dogs around :lol:

This was shortly after my buddy (on the silver Arctic Cat) rolled his machine on its side. We were debating making a near vertical climb with all the stuff we were packing on the back of our ATV's. We decided to do it and no problems.

Yep, Arctic Cats are still plentiful here. My friends wife just got a 2011 2up and it's actually pretty nice (for an AC LOL).
I've got this decal on the back of my PoPo
But it didn't work out this time around when he pulled me off the log. I've gotten myself off that log in the past on my own, but he was too fast with the tow strap and camera this time:lmao:
Of course he thinks I'm an :asshole: because I have the decal, but it's all in good fun!
Hey, I see you have a ride coming up the 15th. We have one the 29th if you or anyone else up that way want to drop down for a fun day. The Trout Creek ride last weekend was a good one.
