Danny's engine blew up on the third day out.
I think it was Peter that said to Danny,
"OK, how do we blame this on your brother Sean?"
Danny and Sean had just done a top-end before the trip up.

We were right at the base of a mountain that we've climbed in previous years. It's very tough getting up this trail and the last time we had to take it one at a time. It's wicked steep and at some points it's just a three or four foot deep V, from all of the rain run off. You have to try and stay way to one side and crisscross where ever you can on the way up. If you slow to much or spin the rear too much, you'll slide into the V, and then good luck. Go back down and try again. I've got the Tee-Shirt on that one.
'Ya know, Go back... try again... you blew it.

We didn't get to go "up" this year. That Huge gate is new this year with signage for dirt bikes, and quads to 'stay out'. We ended up going a different way back around through the power lines and came down this trail. You don't rip anything up coming down and there were no signs on the down slope. We pretty much do as asked. If it says stay out, we do. But man... going up is more fun!

Sorry for the blurry picture. But even if it was sharp and focused, it doesn't do justice.
The good stuff is a couple of hundred yards up and out of sight here.
















They got the bunk room all put together this year. Four or five guys were working and Bobby was sweating canon balls ( he stopped sweating 'bullets' when he was five ) At any rate I walked up with a tiny hammer and offered to 'help'. They all laughed and chased me away. All part of the master plan. ;-)
I went back to check the keg.











Don't expect any sympathy from these guys if you go to sleep early. They almost wrapped Barry's camper. But after he dove out the window when the boys woke him up for dinner, we didn't want him coming out the roof vent.



































No pictures of him in the
drivers seat, but
Patrick's first in-the-woods
riding lesson, had nothing
to do with the Rhino loosin'
a wheel.

I'm just saying...




























Hey... don't look at me like that. There's no more pictures.
