lol, sorry about making you jealous. Getting a D/S bike has been the best thing because I can ride year around now.

I want a WR.
They are lots of fun. I wish I had gotten a dirtbike a long time ago.

Moving along pretty good there, and my WR is taunting me.
Yeah, I was somewhat familiar with the area. I couple of bumps surprised me though.
Damn that looks fun, its been way too long since I've been on a dirtbike.I'm addicted and that's all I want to ride now.

We did run down through the creek but I had broken the gopro off my helmet right before that.
I hate editing but I lost track of how many times I took soil samples which I'm sure you guys would enjoy. lol

Another video from my Colorado trip...

Hurricane Basin
Hinsdale County, Colorado
Trail Type: Out and Back
Nearby Towns: Silverton, Ouray, Lake City
Nearby Trails: Mineral Creek, Cinnamon Pass, Engineer Pass
Trail Length: 3 miles
Elevation: 11,159 to 12,668 feet
This trail packs a lot of scenery and rocky fun into three short miles. Even though it's in the middle of all of the popular San Juan Mountain trails, it sees little traffic. This trail is highly recommended if you enjoy old mining buildings and high mountain views.
It starts off of the Engineer Pass trail near the ghost town of Animas Forks. There is camping near the trailhead, and the trailhead is not marked. You can find it by following two different trails continuing down into the valley next to the Engineer Pass trail, crossing through Henson Creek, follow the trail up and into Schafer Gulch.
The trail immediately begins climbing over loose rocks along a shelf road. Continue up into the gulch with Gravel Mountain on your left and Seigal Mountain on your right marking the Continental Divide.
The trail is fairly easy once you pass the rocky section, and it isn't long before you come to an intersection. If you make a sharp left turn here you can take a brief spur up to a restored lodge. The lodge is huge and in good shape, but keep in mind that the situation could change at any minute. Enter the building at your own risk.
Next to the lodge is an old mill that has not been restored. If you carefully find a way into the building you can spot much of the old equipment that was used. Exploration is difficult and dangerous in this building.
Continue back to the main trail and keep heading up Hurricane Basin. You can spot many old mines here, though all shafts have been closed or caved in. Follow the trail over more loose rocks to the very top in order to fully enjoy the view of the basin below you. It provides a good view of the buildings and mines.

jealous, i need a dual sport....
I loved my WR250R. I'm addicted to off-roading now.

You always manage to ride in the awesome places, hopefully someday get to join youI wanna go!I need to hang out with you.
Just let me know when you guys want to get together!
Why the mirror in the center of the handlebars?So I could see if my camera was working. I had just purchased the gopro wifi remote and wasn't sure 100% sure how to work it.

What's funny is when I first heard this song I really thought he was saying
"Baby, I'm a ADV baby" so I now changed the name of the video to "Blame it on my ADV baby"
I found out that he was saying "Blame it on my ADD baby"....lol

Thanks! That was a very fun stretch of trail.
