BDT goes on a Big Dumb Tour, Scooter rally inside.

In reply to RACEC4R :

Cliffs Notes on point!

I didn't take many pics after Monday night with Solana

First tent site. Opposite approaches to camping during hunting season


Morning session break, before Solana was trail ready

El Scootero's walk of shame


Dam control room and random scenery 

gumby's digger
Friday, on our way back to camp. We had just conquered a section of unmaintained "road" that likely hadn't been traveled by anyone in the last few years. Spirits and confidence were high. Scooter throttles were pinned WFO on a loose dirt/gravel forest road. Conditions were dusty dry and I was running tail gunner. All of a sudden the dirt in the air got crazy thick, and I briefly saw brake lights ahead as everything disappeared into it.
I went hard for the binders, Days of Thunder flashed in my brain, and I became a passenger as the front tire plowed blind into 8" of soft sand...ass over tea kettle ensued, but a few bruises and a tweaked front turn signal bracket were the only damages.

Here's some more. First, the view from one of the cruises. The clattering you hear is the broken front fender on Selena.

Next, here was the sandpit that caused Gumby's digger. Imagine going flat out on a 50cc into a cloud of dust with no idea the ground was about to become a sandpit.

And finally, when singleammers ct90 was overheated and refusing to run, we had to tow back to camp.

you're welcome

Also, more photos!

first campsite

next some scooter photos!

a sweet bridge we could have totally fallen off of

the top of mount danville (or something), the only ride where all 5 scooters completed the entire challenge...

The digger

Some of the "less traveled" roads we traversed

more success was had

and finally the overheat

Second campsite 

Man, that looks like a lot of fun!
