    Default Orviston-Kato Road

    Sven got a finally try out his Series. We took along a friend of mine in his '47 Flattie. Most of the trail is old railroad bed, but there are several places where the trail drops of the bed and into the stream where bridges used to be. If you had a lot of time there are trails that splinter off all over.

    We came across two guys on an ATV and an Enduro so they rode along with us. We also pulled the one guy's sister up the first hill we came too when her sidekick blew the front end and only had 2wd.

    We had to cross one of the bridges and also went through a tunnel. Nothing hard core but a fun day.

    And, it appears in the pic of the water crossing that the Rover is NOT connected to a tow rope!
    Congrats!

    I'm currently in NC with the wife's 109, otherwise I would have taken it on this trip . I've wanted to do this road since I saw last year's pics. Any chance of another trip in early July?
