Well Bing,You guys are the first back. I am assuming that it was great down there. I hope everyone was/is safe and in good health. How was the weather and the riding.

I had the trailer loaded with both quads and then my neighbor flaked out on me... unloaded his quad and then when my wife got home at 8:00 am, she begged me to stay home so she could sleep (rough night at work). Being married, you gotta learn to pick and choose your battles. I figured by missing this ride, it gives me a leg up on whatever is coming up next [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I did get some much needed yard work done though.

Glad to hear that there were no accidents and that everyone had a great time.

 

Joel and Jolene have been notified. Some one was able to get in touch with the camp host. I think Joel probably pulled out of Florence by 2-3 in the afternoon. Just guessing. Rod had called me on my cell while we were coming home and I was able to get in touch with Maggies Boy to let him know that Joel and Jolene were enroute.

 

Had a wonderful time!

I'm wiped out though, so will try and deal with pics tomorrow.

 

Mark, I have about 50 pics from the trip. Ill see what I can do in the next day or two to get some of them posted on MSN.

Well, in the 2+ years that Ive been an ATV'er, I think I finally had too much fun at one time. That place was awesome!!!!

I couldnt have asked for a greater group of people to spend 4 days with. From people who Id never met loaning flag mounts (for the sons 2 wheeler) to old friends (not you Jim, j/k) we had a lot to remember from a great trip. Wait to you see the group pic that had 32 quads all lined up in it!!! Now thats a hard photo to put together.

The ride after dark on the beach was fun. The hole shots were good. Some tougher than others. I think over all there wont be too many complaints about this pasty weekend. Unless the price of fuel gets concidered. That can sure put a dent in ones finances.

 

11 hours from florence to here the north house with dropping the trailer at the ranch. Im whooped...
NwCutie did you guys hit that brake check / 45 minute parking lot on 126? We seen ya'll at the rest area after we got fuel...

My ankle ain't doin so hot... I have ice on it right now and eatin Ibuffrin... Now to stay off it as much as possible. I cant Wait to see all the pictures. It was a blast.

Bomber we did you proud with a gallon of crown down [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Ohh and i made sure to roost big D a few times for ya, Bout knocked him off with one roost, I Crested a Dune and he was Sidehilling and I Gave it the grab the clutch hit the rev limiter and drop it, looked back to watch my roost and Big D was in it, I couldnt have done it better if i tried, and it was purely accidental,

Happa Thanx for loanin me the paddles, they worked great, Now i just need to get me a set, They are much better for slingin sand [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Big D i could tell some good stories but I'll leave what happens in the dunes for around the campfires [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Bing have you found a picture of a stock raptor to remedy your ticket???

 

Florence was a HOOT!

The grizz does pretty good in the sand (It's no sporty, but it hauled me around!)

OFC, Yeah, we got cought on 126, we had already crested the hill when the traffic stopped. I was getting ready to walk down the hill to see what was going on when the traffic started moving

everyone seemed to have alot of fun! Its always great to ride with all of you!

I'm pooped, off to hit the sack

 

Well now, I'm glad everyone had fun down there. XD Welcome back all, it's been dead around here for the most part without you guys.

 

overcast/drizzly thursday and friday,,,,but not too bad (even in a tent)

saturday was full sun,,,,,shorts, t-shirt weather,,,,,,i got a sunburn actually


Sounds like you late-leavers got screwed in traffic. We made it in 6 hours including breakfast at the Florence Cafe (best omelet I've had in years)

 

I've had others flake out on me a few times for a ride, kinda pisses me off when they do that, but that's life. Keeping your wife happy is most important, I don't blame you for staying home, working opposite shifts and raising 3 children is no simple chore. We'll see ya at the next ride
