Alrighty, guys. I know most of you are still driving, but here's us a picture thread. I'll get us started, with just a few of mine. It took hours for Photobucket to get them all up, and I've still got tons to do before bed, but I'll drop in a few.

Hope you guys throw some more up here, when you get unloaded. Start stories and such, too!
 
You didn't get a single picture of quads actually getting worked on? Considering we had one quad or another apart a total of 6 times this weekend, I figured we would have had at least a few pics!

This picture doesn't even begin to cover the story of how many people were there, this weekend.

If that hill in the background could talk, man, could it tell some stories. "You'll never believe this..."

Story time!

We (civic and myself) finally showed up around 3:45, on Thursday afternoon. We promptly found the camp we wanted, and before we knew it, Noobs came riding over to us. A few more minutes pass, and we're joined by Freek, Scot, and Scot's cousin Steve. After a lot of cussing and a little arguing, we got the tent set up and unloaded the machines for a ride.

I was on the Prairie, of course, and the guys were all on these zippy little machines. I fully expected to hold them back, or at least for them to run off and leave me. We were rolling through the trails with 6 quads, and had a freakin' blast. I was even lucky enough to be "roosted" by Freek. He slung mud all over me. LOL. All of the guys we rode with were amazing. Never once did they complain about us going a little slower in the trail, or at least not that I was aware of, nor did they run off and leave me stranded. I have to say, our little group was the most amazing set of riders I've ever been out with. Super considerate of everyone, and just plain fun.

That night was fairly uneventful, other than dinner. Noobs brought me my first helping of Spiedies. Those things are AMAZING, and I'm fixin' to look on Amazon.com for the sauce. We ate, bathed, and sat around talking to 3mill, Paulie, and yamaha-girl.

Speaking of Noobs, the poor guy's friends were out to get him. He borrowed camping supplies from like 3 different people. It was literally like they all called each other up and decided to give him all their kids' stuff. He had a tent he couldn't lay straight in, a sleeping bag that came up to his chest, and a tiny little kid's chair. He went to bed early Thursday night after the drive, and that's when Paulie, 3mill, and yamaha-girl came over for a visit. One of them looked at his tent and said, "Is this for your pets?" I said, "No. It's Noobs." Someone goes, "Is he actually going to sleep in there?" to which one of the guys camping with us answers, "It's okay. He's laying diagonal."

End day one.
 
All the pics I see of Scots blasty its clean as a whistle...it looks just as good muddy
 
Well I know I had a good time. Came with no ride yet everyone was awesome enough to take me for a ride. I cant wait for next year! Oh and I ate megan's muffin and I liked it :)
Ill put in some of my pics in a few. Im more exhausted from coming home and cleaning and crap than I am from the weekend lol. Thank You to everyone I got to hang out with for showing me an A-MAZING time.

Busco only SEEMS like a rough and tumble place. I found this little beauty, right behind our tent.

We thought he was actually going to hop it up in there.

Well, we all made it back in one piece. Thanks for the fun times, everybody! I had a blast, and my friend Junior felt very welcome among the group.

Im very surprised at how productive today was. I actually have everything unloaded from the truck, all the food from the coolers is put up, and all the dirty laundry from the trip has been washed.

However, all the above likely wouldn't have happened had the gokart not fallen apart on the last day out. Scottj77, Steve, Junior, and I were riding all the way out by the river at the edge of the park when one of the a-arm bolts came loose on the kart. Since the idiot engineers designed a slotted mounting bracket instead of a closed mounting bracket for the a-arm, the right lower a-arm slid out and dropped down on one side. This caused a tie rod to bend. SO, I had to limp the kart back to camp with one wheel sitting about 60 degrees off center. Tough ride. That ended our riding for Sunday, so Junior and I were loaded and gone by 1pm. Oh well. It can be fixed. Better luck next year!

Sad to hear that the gokart didn't survive everything Busco could throw at it!

The_mrs sure did appreciate you soaking her completely riding around on that thing. I wished I had got pictures, she looked like a soggy dog when yall got back.

Lol, Im glad she had fun! Too bad y'all and Blasterbabe had to leave so early this morning. I could have given more rides! :D
 
I would so have loved to get muddy before we left for the day lol. He was in a hurry to get home so we could watch the games. Nice surprise was when we got home twc our local cable company had added the nfl network woot woot. I still think I would have had more fun getting muddy from head to toe lol.
 
It completely sucks out loud that the cart didn't make it. I wonder if our little nose-dive into the swamp might have had anything to do with it...LOL. That thing is crazy fun.
 
And finally, me and some of my buddies.

Noobs, me, Freek

Take #2, since civic thought the first one was too dark. But the second is blurry. LOL.

That wraps up my pics, for the most part. I can't wait to see what everyone else got!
