"September Long Weekend/03"

 

We had a great weekend 
Ended up with a group of 12 trucks, 4 quads and one bike for the weekend which included Fender Bender on Sunday. I think he enjoyed almost rolling his jeep and mud and water coming up over his hood wink.gif on Sunday's 13 hour ( 14 for some) trail run that had it's share of carnage and excitement. One blown engine, one truck with a blown 44" bogger, one truck with a blown front and rear end , over heating issues, etc.. A few close rolls but some great driving done to get out of them. Jenny and Mikey ( my 9 year old and Chet's son) did an impressive job taking on the steep inclines and descents with their quad and 50cc . These kids hussled. Jenny had a roll over with her quad on one of the steep inclines. Just a swollen ankle for her. I guess she wanted to match Steven's and Ken's quad flop from the previous day bluebiggrin.gif . Midway through, we ended up splitting into 3 groups- Group one- a few trying to fix or get a 44" tire, Group two- trying to find way back with the rest of the group pulling dead truck. Group three- rescuing dirt biker with some bodily damage ( broken ribs, arm etc) that missed a turn and flew into a tree . Scott's beam in the sky saved us from getting lost on the trail as we were following the light to get back to camp. The Knight worked fantastic. It is a tad on the wide side so we didn't fit in many of the places. Had to ride up on the banks for much of the trail so if you see a certain lean towards one side or the other on us, you know why hypnodisk.gif. Ummm, Choda took on a bet for $100.00 to eat a large June Bug. Ummm, yah. It's on the video below.

We had a great time with a good bunch TheSmile.gif .

PS- I think we were the only group in Waiparous with a fire- powered by propane, that is. It looked exactly like the real thing. Between that fire and the beam we stayed fairly warm bluebiggrin.gif

Didn't get as much footage as I would have liked as most of the run was done in the dark. Got in at 1;00AM Monday, but here's what I was able to get.

Just click on the pics below

Oh and here's the full $100.00 bug supper. YUCK!!!!!

 

Here's what we arrived to at the campsite. It took 1-1/2 hours to clean up. When are the people to leave their garbage behind going to get it??? Asshats!!!!! You bring it in, you take it out!!!!
