Tonight we're having a pig roast with all the trimmings. Now, come on to the number one place to ride, according to several ATV forums, magazines, publications, etc And if you've already been here, I know you are planning your next trip back!

" I suppose the time has come to tell the real story. While we were taking a rest break on our first day's ride, the guides, Preston, Ken and Henry, were telling Seth about a cave where bears sometimes take shelter. They poured it on pretty good, setting Seth up for a secret plan they had. While we rested and chatted about the ride and examined a very old family cemetery, Henry slipped off and hopped on his ATV and headed down the trail. Shortly afterward our guides informed us it was time to move on. They had told Seth we would be going by the cave and would stop and let him take a look. Seth had informed them he "was not scared".
We moved on and continued our ride but after only a few minutes we stopped again, this time just below what our guides pointed out as "The Cave". They encouraged Seth to go check it out. Seth bravely climbed off his quad and headed up the incline. Noble being a good father, quickly followed Seth up to the cave entrance, he was going to be there if Seth encountered anything wild and crazy. Of course, Rhonda, being a concerned mother was right behind Noble, being very spunky, if needed, Rhonda could whip the bear if it messed with her son. As Seth approached the entrance, cautiously, Noble right behind, Rhonda right on Noble's heels, a blood curdling roar came from within the cave. Seth, being true to his word, did not budge, he stood his ground with courage and determination previously displayed only by historic figures such as Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. Noble however, turned pale, spun on his heels, shoved Rhonda aside and leaped from the edge of the cave all the way to the trail, and had someone not grabbed him, might have scurried all the way back to Evarts. Laughter broke out as Henry emerged from the cave with a big grin on his face, patted Seth on the top of the head and gave Noble a puzzled look.
Noble made every effort to explain his actions as being some kind of plan for a counter attack but from where I stood, there weren't any takers.
That's the "Bear" story from the way I saw it.
