On Monday, 16 August, 30+ people on ATV's and Side-by-Sides departed Marysvale for our first 90 mile leg. Destination: Torrey, Utah.
To get to Torrey, we had to cross the Paiute and Fremont trail systems and summit two mountain ranges. One of the more notable trails we encountered was the Barney Lake trail. This trail was easily the most destructive to the skid plates and undercarriage. It was on this trail that the rear skid plate on my ATV decided to give up and partially fall-off.
At Barney Lake, we took a brief break and watched the clouds come in (it was threatening us with our first rain).
Before we could reach Torrey, we had to stop in Koosharem to refuel, get drinks and wait for the 2nd group to come in (we broke up into two groups of about 15 ATV's each. My group being referred to as the "Really fast group".
