I bet the camcorder is Troy's. His daughter was carrying one around. I bet the gloves are mine. I'll look to see if they're missing.

How can you beat being outdoors with your family, on a nice day, riding dirt bikes, eating, drinking, making new friends, and hanging out BSin'!! You can't.

This kid (I'm going to call him crash) cracked me up. I saw him deflecting off rocks all over the place and he kept on getting right back up.

THANKS, LUC! :D

My family had a great time! (Yes, that camcorder is Rachel's, and I understand it went home with Robert, so I'll get it from him when I return his golf cart.)

Although Rachel did not get up the nerve to ride her Honda 50, Griff sure put the hurt on that bike! I think Griff is going to be a trials rider! He rode up and down that gnarly section between the pastures multiple times just for fun. The rocks look nasty on my big bike--I can't imagine how they are on a little 50!

Rachel had a blast riding Griff's ATV--THANKS, Griff! Her uncle Kyle gave her a few tours in his Ranger, too.

Great weather, great trails, great people, food, bouncy house, being out in the country. A GOOD DAY!

I'm really sore today, but I think half of it is just from loading and unloading 5 motorcycles and a golf cart onto my rig!

A few more pictures I have a videos of the chaos of the little kids on the 8 and Troy trying to make sense of it. I have to short it down before I post it though.

By the way the timing was awesome we had an inch of rain on wednesday to make the dirt perfect, it was a pleasure to slide around on the flat part of the track and not too much dust. Robert and Griffith spent the night and the plan was to ride this morning but that did not happen as we got 2 inches of rain and there would have been no riding today, the 2 creeks were running and the pond overflow was going as well...

I was going to edit this video, but then I decided against it, I know it is long but for me it is the best summary of the day, if you take the time to watch it, you'll see the camaraderie, following kids around to help them out, you'll see also Chris teaching his son how to go through the rocks, Troy, master at keeping the 8 not such a chaos, note my "Aye Aye Aye" when the little hondas almost run into each other, then a good ride through the overall trails.

I know it was a long drive for a lot of you, but your presence was appreciated to make it a fun day!

I think we were 34 total at some point or another

and I think 22 bikes were used at one point or another and it is not counting 4 wheel vehicles :wink:
