I just got a new to me, Grizzly 600 to replace my Manco 260 ATV.
Friday and Saturday, I played Hooky and went sight seeing.
I talked Zeus (My Great Dane) into going and loaded the 600 up.

And about daybreak, went back to the cabin and had to explain to Ms Nap, where I'd been

Great trip and I love the Grizzley.
That's great! Looks like you had some fun the last few days. Did Zeus have a good time?

That one is a Canon 40D and I used a Sigma wide angle 50-250 lens for the daytime picture and a Canon nifty 50 f1.8 for the night and dawn picture. The bear picture is from an HCO that I modified a little.

Zeus has to hoof it. He takes up too much room.

How many miles did you cover?
I need to get my quad tuned up and ready for fall/winter trips now that it's cooling down :)

When I met my wife I was a ski instructor. She said then that I was an overgrown 14 year old. According to her, that hasn't changed in the thirty odd years we've been married....so I guess I am a little boy with a beard.:innocent:
He is a big boy though...Great Danes grow for two years and he just turned one. He has about 40 pounds to go.
Mountain Man, I stayed mostly on our farms and I doubt I went more than ten or twelve miles total. It was a lot of fun just going from one place to another on it.

Sounds like fun! I wish I had that much land to cover that many miles!!
My dog loves to follow the quad, and in the dry months I try to get him out front so I don't cover him in dust! Round trip we only go a little more than a mile here.. he runs about 1.5 to 2 miles a day though, keeps him out of trouble and forces me to do perimeter checks.

Great looking dog and country. I like my Rincon because of independent suspension and the joints don't creak so loud. My beagle sniffs the Honda, throws his leg up on it and goes somewhere to sleep. I am fortunate to ride as far as I want, usually 50 miles or so and checking out old homesteads with a metal detector plus all my other breaks makes us about a 12hr ride. Still fun after all these years. Your doggie can always tow you in just in case.
