Kelly Flats 2005

This year's Kelly Flats Trail Ride took place on August 20th, 2005. Another successful year of negotiating "Heart Attack Hill" and the "Chutes" an optional tight rock obstacle that turns you left then right without much room to spare. The Trail Ride was followed by camping, a cookout and unfortunately, a water balloon launcher! 

The meeting are at the start of the Trailhead

This part of the trail had changed from last year but was still fun

Looking down Heart Attack Hill

Recent rains provided several mud crossings

Park beginning the Chutes

Can't get any closer to that rock wall

Left turn at the top

Then the right turn, yea Kinsey, you spot 'em

Squeeze the right rear through

And you're almost done

Paul's turn

Leave quite a bit of rub rail on the rock wall

Start the left at the top of the rock

And we're through

Douwe takes a different line

Still ends up against the rock

We also did Seven Mile on Sunday. Seven Mile is scenic with several water crossings
