We plan to be there around noon on Thursday and camping in the front field.

Just finished greasing all of the bearings. Had to pull an axle this week to fix a sheared off set screw on the right rear sprocket. That was the very first time any of the axles have been removed since it was assembled new in 2000. I will have to finally replace all the bearings, chains, and sprockets this summer. I also may rebuild the T-20 while I'm at it. I suppose 22 years is a pretty good life span.

We had a great outing with great people, weather was windy and cool with some rain but still good for riding. There were 11 machines, 2 quads and a minibike, carnage was minimal.
Trails were Dusty on mains and ugly on some bypasses, and just a mess in others. Fridays night ride was a mud fest, winch fest, stuck fest all about 200 yards from camp, which led to one injured machine. Other than that there were minimal stuckages other than myself who forgot how to ride, thank you to all the winches and pulls.
See y'all soon.

Had a great time with family and friends. Good to see guys I haven't seen in 2 years. Had good rides with no major stucks except 1 night lol. Hope you get trans repaired Keith. Thanks to all who came. Weather could have been a little better. Still a good time. Kids enjoyed it also

thanks rick and the rest ....it was some good riding for sure . i think after the major '' really stuck '' first nite short !! ride ( almost 2 hrs. to get everyone out ) we were a little more careful so we could actually ride for a good while. the heat , clouds , wind , cold and hail made it non boring weatherwise . even when you breakdown , theres always someone else to hitch a ride with . take care all , johnboy va.

Great riding out there. Thank you to everyone for your patience with my two kids driving non-amphibious machines (4 wheelers) on a couple of the rides. They enjoyed riding with y'all so much. I really have to finish rebuilding my hustler for my son to drive.

Also, a big shout out to Johnboy for operating my throttle while I steered going back to camp after my cable broke on a night ride.
