I was up there Wednesday evening and will be back about 10:30 am Friday.
Attached pic is from Wednesday, something about this event that people want to get there early!
The pic covers about half the vehicles.

The Google Hut, Pion Dion's Neon, and Team Safety made it to the home LZ just fine. Now the worst part..... unpacking. What happened to the rest of my troop seats?!?!?!

I was last one out of the deep forest, by time I unloaded and dropped off the trailer, unloaded and parked the truck, jumped in the car, I arrived home at about 9:30.
Had a great time! Great to see everyone! Lane had me laughing my nads off with his new MRE helmet. I took a zillion photos, will post real soon!
Happy to report we didn't lose anyone while wandering around the grenade range.
Too bad the weather didn't turn nice until Sunday but the rain didn't dampen the fun!

We had a great time at the trail ride. I was putting the bobbed truck togethor (after changing the cab)until the last minute so we didn't arrive until Saturday around noon. Only one small mechanical hitch with the truck was one pf the plastic lines going to the manifold flame heater filter rubbed through on something under the hood. I was able to cut the line shorter and move thr ferrul back. It still reached and all was well.

The kids always want a campfire. So we borrowed the one at Dave's campsite. We did a couple of short rides Sunday then Bonnie took the kids home in the Explorer. I took my time getting home and pulled in about 7PM. I filled up with gas and averaged 10.95mpg. A great trip. Thanks everyone for putting it all togethor.
