    Looking back over the pictures makes me wish I had taken more time to fully appreciate the company of such a fine group of riders, even the ones who watch "Reba" and "the View"... I resolve next year to not torment Marty with Sneaky Pete, to eat more of Helipilot's fine cuisine, and to brush up on my banjo licks so I don't keep forgetting songs half way through. Many thanks from Zach and myself for allowing us the honor of hanging with the best, you guys rawk.

    Be careful at Zink. There is a rock there, don't hit it.

    Thanks Bill. I'm thinking an ttr225 or xr250 with a baja kit, may be on my christmas list. I'm looking forward to riding with him at Brook Creek again and around Mt. Magazine.

    Hate that I have had to miss most of the rides. Glad everybody got to have a good time tho. My wife and I had every intention of coming but she hurt her knee and was not up for riding. We ended up doing a little roaming around back roads in our tracker with every intention of meeting up and camping with everybody Saturday night... and life happened.... again.... turned out we had to be home Sunday morning.

    Good news is it seams things are slowing down and finances are looking better for next riding season :clap
    and maybe I can pick up a few songs on the mandolin and join in the picking around the campfire....

    Good stuff Bill! Thanks for sharin with the photos and commentary. You did get a pic of me woofin down some of Matt's green chili. What did I tell you about that? It was all good even if I am on antibiotics with a case of bronchial congestion. And all from just one night of 30 something degree weather. Thanks for everyone attending and making this the highest attended camping event so far. Great bunch of guys. I guess I will have to get to practicing my guitar pickin and try to join in on the hoe down's at next years events. That banjo and guitar music of Bret and Zack's was something else. Top notch. Until next year. :norton

    I think I will take you up on that Bill! But fiirst you are going to have to find someone to take over your weekend duties. Sounds like you have your hands full. It really wasn't much trouble but the last event I had a lot going on myself with having my brother and his wife and her mother staying with us for a couple of weeks and then helping him move down here.

    It was a good year for camping. Got to several new areas, Blanchard Springs and Bull Shoals. Gonna have to come up with a couple new locations for next year to expand our horizons. Thanks for your help as always. Take care. :norton
