| we wer'e at the fire lookout at the top of billy goats bluff at dargo talking to the ranger when the dry lightning storm came in what an impressive sight that was with lightning bolts going off all around you & hitting the ground thousands of feet below you & then five minutes later you would see heaps of smoke comming from where the lightning hit , we were there for about 45 mins & saw about 9 fires start & by the time we left they were raging we're going back up soon to see the damage & pump some money back into the town they treat us really well up there they love dirt bike riders, the guy who owns the genral store has just set up a spare parts section out the back of the shop with a workshop & a gerni for guys who are doing overnight rides & have problems to keep em going or for whatever other reason so people get up there & support them you'll be hard pressed to find a better place to ride,drink,bullshit & eat. |
