Thanks guys, we are going to make a ride or several rides your way this year. Winter just means more clothes to us, we keep riding.
We ride in breathable waders almost year around, makes clean up at the truck a lot easier. Temperature that day varied around 38 to 42 degrees.
We quit for the day after the Kawasaki Guy got his jeans wet, still 3-4 miles from the truck. My son was out of agas anyway, 25 miles and out of gas Started with a full tank. I bought a Rotopax gas deal for mine. (2 2 gallon flat cans, with mount plate).
Do most people out your way mount them on the front or the back of an ATV?

I'm sure some do mount on the rear but all that I have seen are on the front,and it helps add a little weight to the front end that way...

Your always invited if we are riding. I would invite this group, but in my opinion, you are in a much better riding place. This was "Jeremy's" first ride with us.
I met "Jeremy" at Little Egypt about 3 weeks ago, He is a very good rider, (He accidently rear ended me pretty hard at Nortonville, glad that I had installed the new rear bumper, I would have lost plastic, muffler and who knows what else). Just a slight scratch. My son and I added bumpers to be able to push each other out of the mud, neither of us have got stuck yet.
Kinda like puking in a friends car first time that you meet, just not a good first impression with the hard rear ending, way past a bump. But, we will invite him back.
Far as i know, all ATV/UTV went home in good order, ready to ride again, no breakage, rider crashes to report.
