So here's the story. Found this ATC 70 being thrown away at a local mountain dump and talked the guy into letting me have it instead of the dozer. This was it in 2005:

I rebuilt it and made it a runner for the past 8-9 years and have had a blast. I learned how to ride on one, so my plan was to have my child learn to ride on it. This was it minus seat:

I was married in '07, and my daughter born in '11. She and I have ridden this around our backyard (1 acre) for the past three years, but now it's her turn. I tore it down for a full refresh and took it out to the desert this past weekend. She rode it with my wife or I on the back...until Sunday when I "had to get off to help it go up the incline" and voila! She rode it solo for a solid hour and loved it! Talk about a proud papa!!

I met a couple other ATC enthusiasts out there too (are you on here?). Raced an old Baja race trike with my '85R up Sanddam (and won) and talked with them for a while. It was an awesome trip!
