I apologize to all my Internet Explorer readers. I didn’t realize that I had a browser problem in IE. I’ve found the problem and should be fixed. I think of IE as one of the worst browsers of all time. I normally use Opera or Firefox. Silvercg should look good under IE, Firefox, and Opera. I haven’t tested Safari, Chrome, or Flock yet. If you see any bugs then I would be greatful if you report them to me from the contact page.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Dave Johnosn.

I’m in a red shirt, brown shorts, silver helmet, silver bike, and in the lead most of the time.

JEM And Bearclaw Poppy Trails.

Last Saturday I joined up with Justin McFarland (part owner of Bogley.com) and some of his friends from Ogden, Utah. Around 11:00 A.M. we all meet up at the bottom trailhead of JEM and shuttled to the top trailhead. Justin, Mark, and me led the pack most of the way. I found out the hard way that the banks are soft in the corners. The first time my bike slid out from under me, I was lucky to gain control again. The second time, I was also able to gain control again, but couldn’t get back on the track quick enough and ended up hitting a bush and going over the handle bars.

Pictures from Justin McFarland.After some lunch and rest, I meet back up with Justin and Mark to tackle Bearclaw Poppy Trail. Now after one near crash, one actual crash, and a scary ride next to the cliff on JEM. Bearclaw was just a walk in the park. Nothing seemed to faze me. We bombed down that as fast as we could and it only seemed like it took us 30 minutes to get to the bottom.
This was one of the best days I’ve had mountain biking it quite some time. I’m glad I got a chance to meet up with Justin and the other northern pros. 
When Justin gets done with the videos I’ll be sure to post them.
Announcement: Don’t ride Bearclaw when it’s wet and muddy! It’s damaging the trail. It leaves ruts from the tires and when it dries the clay hardens like a rock. The result is a very bumpy and torn up trail. Again please don’t ride Bearclaw Poppy Trail when it is wet.
Fly Fishing Santa Clara River.

I went up with my friend Statton and his dad early today to Baker Res. Just south of Central, Utah. The main river in and out of Baker Res. is the Santa Clara River. After Statton and I got tired of fishing the dam with no luck we decided to head down to where the river flows out of the dam. At the start it was really shallow and could clearly see there was no fish in it.

We had to hike about a mile downstream to get to some pools that had fish in it. The trout in this area spook really easy. It’s nearly impossible not to spook them just because the sun was on the wrong side. The bush and trees close in real fast and is hard to get in to cast a fly. I lost one fly and got hung up on branches countless times. We did all that for nothing because all three of us got skunked.
The next time I make it up there I’m going to try to fish it where the Santa Clara comes into Baker Res.
Adjusting Your Mouse Sensitivity

Before we get started, it’s a good idea to backup your Windows registry. To do this click Start >> Run. Enter “regedit” without quotes into the box and select ok. When the Registry Editor Window opens, make sure “My Computer” is selected and click File >> Export. Name and save the file in case you have to restore it.
Now let’s edit the Sensitivity of your mouse.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Find the values DragHeight and DragWidth. If they are not there then go ahead and create them as a “New String Value” (REG_SZ). The default values should be set to 4. To reduce the sensitivity, change the number to a higher value like 10. To increase sensitivity, change the number to a smaller value like 1.
