We started off by unloading and just as everyone was ready to go... and already problems. Could this be a sign from the heavens?


Chris fixing a little tire issue

After that little setback, onward to the trail! We came across a large and deep water hole. It's just like the old fishin' hole, except I doubt any fish were in there. But Nigel went in to check.

Here, fishy fishy

After we realized that the ol' watering hole was empty of fish, we continued onward. After getting to a certain point in the trail and waiting for some time, we noticed a few people were missing from our group. So 2farnorth, Muddy Doug, Axeman_87, and myself went back to search for our lost companions. Upon reaching the top of some switchbacks, we found our gang. Nigel with his King Quad full of water. After he drained it, we continued on. Some time later, after crossing the first stream of our trip, we waited. And waited. Alas, no Nigel once again. He caught up with us and we found out it was, once again, belt issues. And at that time we learned 2farnorth blew a bearing on his Polaris so after some deciding, he cut his day short and headed for the hills.


Stopping for lunch

So after continuing down the trail we got to some muskeg holes, after passing those we then made our way up trail. After reaching the FSR, we continued our trip down that until we reached the pipeline. We headed down the pipeline, and three-quarters of the way down we met up with another group when we stopped for a break. After chit-chatting with them, we noticed a fellow on a sport quad coming down the hill. The man was on a Raptor 700R, and approached us telling us how his buddy had a hard crash and he needed gas for the buddy towing him, and first aid for his friend who took the fall. We gave him ratchet straps, a gas can, and a first aid kit, and he was on his way to go find his friend. After continuing on we were finally back at the ol' fishin' hole where we played around for a bit...

And that was pretty much our trip in a nutshell.
