Once i was with around four others and it was getting late in the day, we came upon a clearing and there was an indian style tipi tent just sat there, this thing was at LEAST ten feet high and unoccupied. Anyway we carried on around this trail which brought us back by the same area, this only took like 10 minutes but as we approached the tent was gone?!
Now i'm no expert but surely those things take a while to take down, plus it was nearly dark so you'd think that whoever put it there would be using it that night. It freaked us all out and we gtfo of there.
(this thread is similar to one on thumpertalk a few years ago, many of you probably read it. there was some unreal stories on there)

I was out on a trail ride and a bird landed on my arm while I was riding. I've been riding since just after the Earth cooled and that had never happened before. He rode on my arm for probably a half mile before he flew away. Weird, just weird.
The Shop
Called the fire department and they said somebody had already called it in. It was on the local news that night as a stolen car.
Kind of a sad way to die. Alone and homeless.
After checking my shorts I get back up to speed and within a half mile a BIG Mtn Lion runs across the trail just in front of me....Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!
Some weird old wooden crosses as I guess graves in the middle of the woods.
One Sunday the previously mentioned crew was out riding and on the trail that connected our road to the gas lines we rode. They all come zipping around a corner in the woods to find Wacky Jackie standing in the middle of the trail swinging a machete like a mad woman. They all busted out through the woods and made their way around and kept going.

Pit Row
They were going after a MIG-29 which had caught my eye seconds before & I was sure I'd mis-ID'd an F-15...Uh, no!
BFE-Nevada during the '98 VEGAS to Reno race. I'd actually backed off to take it all in for a second.
I was sooooo stoked.
So we decided to start on the way back, now with the chain jumping off at any given time we were limping it back. We eventually come up on our second to last creek crossing when we see in the middle of the creek a truck. Exhaust bubbling, sitting still. Apparently these two guys decided to take this truck on a test drive earlier in the day, and was testing the two wheel drive off road capability. The truck still had the year and price painted on the windshield.
It's starting to turn dusk, temp dropping pretty quick and two guys in tee shirts and shorts staring at this high centered truck. We had our own problems, and still another 5 miles to our pit. We get off our bikes, discuss our options with them and determine there's not enough day light to get them out. We all wade in and give it our best to push the truck out, but no go. Told them as soon as we got back to our trucks we'd contact the sheriff dept. and let them know they needed to be rescued.
I would pay good money to see those two animals just going about their business in the wild.
