Yesterday (Friday), Ben and I had the chance to go on an ATV adventure date. I will say that I'm hooked. It was SO much fun. I look forward to doing it again!!
I did wear a helmet. I'm not confident on these things!
We made it up to Summitville, CO - 11,500 ft. elevation
Summitville is an old abandoned mining town that had to shut down in the early 90s due to water contamination. Obviously, these buildings are not from the early 90s. The original mining town was established around 1870.

All fun and games until one ATV breaks down...five or six miles from the car...and non-expert driver (me) has to tow expert driver (Ben) down the mountain...through streams, alongside 100-ft drops, over rocks, past other vehicles. We got very muddy, and it was a bit scary at times, but it was still fun. Exciting, thrilling, FUN.
A parting shot...I was SO muddy. You can't really tell from this picture, but I am! Muddy from head to toe. And so was my ATV!
