Morel Hunt

Amy, Elke, Andy and I decided to do a little mushroom hunting today. Amy rode in my Sidecar and Elke rode with my brother Andy in his KLR outfit.

It was the first time I had ridden the Scrambler hard off pavement, the way I designed this rig to be used, and the first time I had taken a passenger in it. It works a little harder in the dirt than it does on pavement, not as easy as my KLR rig was. Cornering is a little less precise with a passenger aboard. Still it is quite capable and a fun ride.

We pushed through the manzanita and found our way to the secret patch. We paused for a little wine to sharpen our eyesight before the hunt

Amy found the first cluster of mushrooms, and the second bunch too. We almost stepped on them.
