Anatomy of a Trail System at ATV Source

I was off-roading my way around the Internet this morning when I came across a set of articles on ATV Source that discusses the Anatomy of a Trail System.

The Article, which is divided into three parts, "...details the history, concerns, and process in the creation of a trail system for the Black Hills of South Dakota that fall into the regulations set down by the National Forest Service’s Travel Management Rule. ..."

I will watch for part three to be published and update this post with a link to part three when I see that it is also online. For now you can read Part 1 and Part 2 on the ATV Source website.

Still considering the online ATV accessories store idea

After looking at the Ashop Commerce shopping cart software earlier when I was talking about the possibility of maybe incorporating an ATV accessory store into my in progress ATV website, I went back to the Ashop Commerce website to look a little closer at their ecommerce software.

Some of the shopping cart features that caught my attention as I was looking at the Ashop Commerce shopping cart include: live chat, support ticket, affiliate program module, and the sales and marketing tools. The software seems to be fully featured and incorporated everything that I could think of that would be needed for running an online store.

Even if I decide not to start up some sort of online store for my ATV website I'll be looking into the shopping cart software some more. In addition to possibly opening an online sore for one of my other sites, I also have a site on running a home based business, so checking out the shopping cart software is of interest to me for more than just potentially opening an ATV accessory store.

Riding the ATV

Provided that tomorrow is a nice day, I will get the chance to take my ATV for a ride to the store in the morning. I went to the store the other day, ended up coming back home after dark. Was a very enjoyable ride that I was not ready to end when I got back home. Came very close to going on past my house and following more trails for another hour or two. It's nice to have the chance to get out and ride again, later on I want to take my ATV up toward Hatcher Pass and to follow the trails to the north up the Parks Highway.
