First ATV Ride

Well I finally rode on my first ATV the other day and it was kind of fun.

I'm not much of a dare devil so it was just a nice casual ride to see some of the woods. But it was nice and just might do it again.

Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy just getting out and cruising through the woods and taking it easy. It's a good way to just unwind.

Well it sounds like you had some fun. I've been on one a few times and they can be fun. They are really good out in the woods that you want to explore but don't have time to do it all on foot.

I can still remember the first time I rode an ATV and it made me addicted that very moment. It is like riding a motorbike without the need to balance it.

Hi...

My first ride on a snow machine was also my last ride on one.

I was living in my "cube" (Alaska's smallest "house")...8' X 8'...with no electric or running water.

I kept my vehicle at a neighbor's house in the winter, in order to have a place to plug in my engine heater (all vehicles have them there).

Not wanting to bother my neighbor who lived a half mile away, I decided to walk about two miles to a bar/restaurant down the road that the trail I lived on led to. The tempurature was at least forty below zero, a common wintertime temp in Fairbanks.

A snow machine came along, and the driver asked me if I wanted a ride. I politely told him no, and off he went. A few minurtes later he came by again...thinking he was a good Samaratian, I guess, and asked me again if I wanted a ride. So I got on.

Even though I was dressed for the weather, that was the COLDEST ride I've ever taken. And it also was my last ride ever on one...!!
