| I'll be loading tonight and heading out tomorrow morning. I expect to be at Marty's by 10ish. I'll be parked in Marty's field with a white Toyota Tacoma double cab and a 16' double axle trailer. | |

Pics from Friday and Saturday. We're riding again today too. It's been a great group all weekend, and other than dust on the park, we've had an awesome weekend!
The hyperlink is broke to the pics and I can't fix it on my phone. Just copy and paste all of it and it should work. | |

| Had a great time on this trip. Friday we met up With Matt and sponge and rode a few trails and had a good time. Hit a good red trail and then headed in for the night. Saturday we rode to a couple great lookouts and had a great guide (mud hound). Rode about 9 hrs. On Saturday ( 7 utv's and 2 fourwheelers). ATL came up from Georgia to ride but, had to end his trip early on Saturday because his wheel bearings were shot. He had to limp back to camp. We talked to him later and he made it back ok. Everyone on this trip was a pleasure to ride with. Sunday I led the trails and we had a technical day. We rode most of the red and blue trails on the map and some others that were not on the map. We came off a red trail that was not marked and sponge commented that it wasn't marked for a reason. Lol I've got to mention it Matt, because you fulfilled your wife's wish for the weekend. Matt had to use his winch on trail 45 (red) , he bottomed out dropping off in a creek. I soaked my feet wading in the creek to pull his winch out. That's ok, I led him there. We hit a couple mudholes on trail 16 That were pretty deep also. We had a great weekend and can't wait to do it again!! | |

| This was one of the top 10 rides of all time for me. Had my wonderful wife with me and super company. Some of the red trails took me to my limit but love it. Gary Lawson did a fantastic job of guiding on Saturday. The white rocks and pravilion stops were super. The ride up to the Hensley Settlement was an adventure in rock crawling. Skill levels for everyone were superb and equipment problems minimal. Normally I stay away from the red trails but I had a few riders in front of me & if they can make it so can I so I thought. Weather was perfect also. Not to hot and no rain for a change. Time to empty the crapper on the RV and wash and go over the Razor. Another 4 day weekend coming up with Dino and friends @ Trails End Campground @ WMA, Pickett & maybe Royal Blue. | |

| Ariana was talking tonight about how sponge was so nice to let her talk on the radio. This was one of our favorite rides also, I think it was more the people we rode with than the trails.
I'm still suprised at how Matt maneuvered the t4 through the trails. Great driving!! Your wife was a real trooper for Her first time out. I don't think I would have been so trusting sitting in the passenger seat on some of those hills.

| Ariana was such a sweet little thing. If we could only keep them this way! LOL!! She finely allows me to grab a green bean off her plate in Ryans!
I personally had a hoot of a time. It’s a pleasure to see folks have a good time. Well, having a good ATV ride is a GREAT way of a good time. Matter of fact, we managed to have a GREAT time and no one got hurt.
