ATV Trip September 28, through October 1, 2016. George Lyon (our fearless leader, Don Lee, Tom McKee, and myself

 

After years of being harrassed about joining George on an ATV trip I finally gave in. George's son, Andrew, was kind enough to loan me his ride. We trailered up to Elsworth Me. where we left our vehicles in a club parking lot for 4 days. Don looks very happy to get on the trail.

 

Lets not get too far doen the trail before we have to start checking tire pressures. Nice trails for the most part - gravel, dirt roads, and paved roads. Lets not forget the occasional rocky connector trails
At one of the points we stopped to view the ocean. We we met by a local resident who lived right there and was vey friendly
 Then we took out first selfie ....

 

Our first nights lodging, a very nice motel in Machias - with an even better restaurant next door - Helen's

George being very proud of himslef for opening the drapes in the morning and having the sun pour in and waking me up

 

I just got done explaing to George that we had to stage an accident with the borrowed ATV and send the picture to Andrew, the owner. But no, G. never took me up on it, trying to be nice to Ana.

 

Everybody was telling George where to go, even the Cottage keeper at out next evenings lodging.

George studying the map again, must have worked as he did find the trucks at then end of the trip.,br>

Lots of map reading along the entire trip
Super trails (for the most part)
 Tom thinking it is nap time

 

When ever you travel with George you are bound to meet up with the Men in Green. This one is a TV star though from the show North Woods Law.
