We Almost Had To Eat Dan On The Bunchgrass Trail





All smiles as Dan, Megan, and I started out on the White Pine/Bunchgrass Trial in Logan, UT. Not saying that the smiles faded, but it turned into a bit of an adventure. First off I was using my brothers Klien and I did not notice it had slicks on it until we were starting the ride. With that being said I ate S@#$ more then a few times. We were trucking down the trail, then the trail seemed to go away. There were actually a bunch of downed tress and due to the fact they free range cattle up there there were small trials going in every direction. So we followed the one with bike tracks on it. Well, whoever laid those tracks down went the wrong way. In fact as the trail basically stopped we found a bike out there that someone had just left! As we bushwhacked through the sage carrying our bikes, Dan offered himself as a survival feast if needs be (team player that Dan, good guy to have with you if you are flying over the Andie's or stuck on Donner Pass). We realized we were lost and it was then that Dan turned to his TV learned survival skills (Survivor Man) to get us out. He said lets go down the valley and follow the stream. I will say as we bushwhacked through the sage we finally heard cars and realized we would not have to eat Dan after all. As we got closer to the road we realized we had to forge the Logan River. By this time we were just delirious and we all sat on the bank of the river and laughed. Good times were had by all, sometimes getting lost can be the best part of the ride.

Senor Q-
I am glad that your buddy didn't suggest that you all pee on your shirts and wrap them around your heads. Following the river seems to be a lot more logical.
The misses and me are moving closer to you folks (st. georgous) and hope to do a little pedaling on the local dirt with you and yours.

You're awesome -- I liked it that there was no pee or poop involved too.
