Some Pics from Wagon Wheel WV 11/16

It was very cold up there! Never got out of the 20s according to the thermometer, and even some snow in spots. about an hour or so after we got there,I decided to try a pretty nasty hole, and not only found how deep the rhino goes before it stops pulling, but also got wet from my waist down.







Here is a vid of a liitle hillclimb

and here is whats at the top.

Hey someone put the flag back up, Last time I was up there it was down!

Great pics, we have a group going this weekend from the Triad area if you want to join us.

Oh and as for getting wet from the waste down, winter riding in WV almost requires CHESTWADERS I wear them all winter up there.

I went to walmart on sat night, but they didn't have any. I will hopefully get some before next trip up. I may try to make it up there with you all.

You are one crazy mo-fo for hitting something like that in that cold weather. I doubt I would be able to finish riding. I don't mind the cold so much, but I HATE being cold and wet. Have you ever thought of adding a heater to your Rhino? I bet I would have been loving mine in that kind of weather.

Nice pics dorton

The wet hole would have done me in of the day :cold:

Dorton, you wont find a decent pair of waders at Walmart. You really need to get them from Gander Mtn, Bass Pro or somewhere like that. Get the ones made for hunting as they have lug soles and you can get them insulated. Makes a huge difference.

Thanks for the advice. Might see if I can make a run to bass pro shops in charlotte

As far as being cold, I usually handle cold weather pretty well, but I was freakin freeeeeezing! I couldnt feel my feet, ankles and such by the end of the day. It was so dang cold, my pants had froze solid along with parts of my boots, and laces. When we loaded up to leave the water that was dripping off was froze solid before we could start tying them down

The aluminum trailer looks like mine a 4 place snowmobile trailer but it looks like you changed out the wheels and tires for 15" so I guess they fit under there ok.Mine is a Thule what make is yours.

:cold:

Makes me cold just looking at the pics...................

True, but afterwards while riding that heater blowing on your legs would be a good feeling.

You're dead on. While I was sitting there I started looking around at the banks around it and noticed a bunch of foot prints, so I figured I wasn't the first, and probably not the last.

that is a BAD hole!!! i was at the wagon wheel about a month ago and that hole was almost dried up and the ruts it it where huge!!

i went up there in aug. and watched a honda foreman try that hole and it was not good. lets just say it was a submarine ans did not have a periscope!!

It was a full pond this past weekend, the water went right up to the edge.
