Happy Hoosiers Royal Blue Ride 2024

 October 4, 2024..... DAY TWO

Lining up for a long day of riding...

Heading over to Tackett Creek Area today.

Things can get Rowdy over at Tackett..

Hang on....

Who are we waiting for.....

Looks like a meeting of the minds.

The boys are ready and waiting.....

They all seem to find something to do no matter where we are...

These boys are a HOOT....love to watch'em

Ok....got these two in.

Now where are the other two??

Alright....I think I found'em..

Helmets on, harnesses on, goggles on......

Hey, where's our driver.....

MOM....call dad. Get him over here. We gotta go.

Well, we are on the road now...

Looks like we ended up with eight muddy buggies for todays adventure.

Lots to see today..

And we start with the Old Cabin...video below

When Mama's happy ........

       Everybody is happy.

This is called sittin' on the Back Porch.......

...Country Style

I told you the view was awesome...

Also stopped off at McLeans Overlook...

Nice bench here, placed in Honor of a rider known by many in this area.

I don't know the whole story but the old bench was destroyed or taken so a new bench was recently re-dedicated.

Playing on the edge....

And the view from here is absolutely Awesome.

The bench is right in front of this group of Hoosiers...

And what a great bunch they are.

Three Amigos on a Mountain..

Discussing what makes the World go around..

The Man on the Mountain ....

Rocky looks serious ...

I think he is thinking about climbing Slate Rock..

Out next stop

OFF TO THE SAND CAVE NOW

Nothing like a little challenge to get you going...

How often do you get to play in the sand under a Natural Waterfall?

These memories will last......

CAVE EXPLORERS...............Or 

            Future Movie Producers

Rocky spotted this grouse along the way.

I was about 4 feet away and she paid no attention to me.

Enlarge picture to find her.

Now that we have made it down to the Sand Cave it's time to see if we can get out of this Holler.  The further we go, the worse the trails get. And it's uphill from here.

Ands now it's starting to rain.....The video says it all. What a surprise, no chance of rain today and here we are at the Bottom of Sand Cave Holler. The creeks are already up a bit.All we need is more rain....UGH.

Heading back to Camp....That's going to be a long wet ride.....

This stuff ain't for the faint of heart....If these little fellers can do it...you can too.
