Today I made my first big mistake on this trip....I agreed to let Jenesa drive this ATV. Here in Alaska they call these things ARGO's.....back home we call them Scramblers. ARGO's will climb, crawl or swim anywhere you have to go, and fill the gap between recreational quads and heavy off road equipment.
(throttle like a motorcycle)
We certainly put the ARGO to the test....as we crossed the tundra early this morning....and splashed through several areas of water and pure mud! We were told that Alaska just had the rainiest month in its history (June), and several areas were flooded out or blocked off due to the high waters.
Jenesa managed to hit every bump, puddle, creek, and rock at full speed....and I had to scold her a few times during the morning drive. I sure wasn't going to buy a new Volkswagen GTi to replace a broken ATV on this trip (haha....inside joke!) Well, we both survived and enjoyed a few smiles....but you may want to think twice before riding with Jenesa in the future!
