When I started riding a quad (a four-wheeled all terrain vehicle), I had a snazzy red two-wheel drive Honda, but I couldn't climb the steep hills like the "big boys" with four-wheel drive.
When Wayne and I follow our good friend John on the logging roads and trails around Powell River, he will raise his arm and extend four fingers let us know it's time to shift into four-wheel drive. This illustration entitled "Four" from Up the Main was drawn by John's father, Ed.
I love my Yamaha 4X4 Kodiak 450 (now called the Grizzly 450). I got mine at Quality Parts in Powell River. Shopping local is important. It supports local businesses, and it's good for the customer, especially in a remote locations like ours. If I purchased a model that didn't have a local dealer, I would have to travel on a ferry (or two) to get warranty service and maintenance. That's not easy or convenient.
I've been on some great rides with John and the Powell River ATV club. Hop on my quad and travel along with me to:
Kent's Beach Poker Ride
Theodosia Inlet to Powell Lake
Mt. Mahony
Appleton Creek
Lakes Loop
Blue Ridge Viewpoint
Khartoum Lake
Thanks for the visit. Let me know if you have any questions about ATV riding in the Powell River area. - Margy
