Pine & Gisela Time

Olie and I have been hanging out with great friends that we have met back at Wild in the Weeds Biker Rally at Jakes Corner Bar a few weeks back. Diana has been great taking us in and letting us stay with her and sharing her friends and great times with.




We spent the first couple days going quarding thru the moutains of North end of Lake Roosevelt and Gisela. As Sparky guided us and some friends of his down from Iowa,out thru the trails to really neat spots to checkout. We climb in and thru caves,had awesome look out spots. As we made it half way thru the day ride. We came to some rough spots that new friend Jeffs son couldnt make on with riding the first half like a pro, for it being his first time out on his new dirtbike on a trailhead. I came to volenteer for riding the little 90cc dirtbike back out the rest of the way. Sense its been over a year sense my Dirtbike wreck, I still had a second thought of if this was the best idea to do. After a couple of miles and one or two stalls later i had it back, But the fear of crashing this boys bike and tearing my ownself up never left.


I joined up with the guys to do all day Guys ride up to CopperPot. A old Camp house thats used by some for Hunting camp or the Cowboys crash for the night traveling across rounding up there caddel to move from section to section. This day trip and most everytime this week I have thought of a great friend, father, veteran, John Llanio. that has been called apone by God. As him and his neighbors took 4wheeling trips yearly to Virginia and West Virginia. It just was one of those trips that I knew he was alongside riding. and we shared some Budwisers as we always did.


Spent much more of the week running around with new friends,throwing shoes, enjoying beers with great new friends. Memoral Day spent Jets sking back on my home front on the lake and finishing the night off at Jakes Corner where I finally got Wills moms Famouse Fried Shrimp tacos. After killing Three plates of them with Jim, Rosie, Di, Linda, which was awesome to talk with Jim as being a deep fishing guy from Florida. To the end this wild past week. and look to the rest of this week, with hopes that I can work on Chucks farm for a couple weeks. Would make for a nice experiance and save up for my new route South.
