I was trying to delete all of the other posts in the old thread since a date has now been set but ended up deleting the whole thread by mistake. Anyway, I've had several people PM me to ask where this is located, etc so I am posting all of the information here in the first post. It's easy to forget that people don't know what "Busco" is.

I just got off the phone with Robbie and Lewis. Sounds like they're all having a good time down there. So far The gang consists of Robbie and family, Lewis, JerseyBigfoot and friend, McCoy, Admin Mike, RussRider and family, JoeMeg and family and Liflod. I guess a few more are expected.

They've had great weather and were on the trails when I called.

Man....I wish I was there.

We got a hold of the Carolina Boys & Co. Sounds like they have good weather & GREAT mud. Just the way they like it. Can't wait to see the videos & hear the stories. Always fun. Sounds like they're beat, but all they have to do is survive ONE MORE DAY.

Survive? Oh man, sounds like brutal riding conditions, thats the best kind! Really wish I was with them, "Surviving"

Tired, sore , dirty and hung over. What a weekend. Great weather and even better riding. 9+ hours of driving today, 20 minutes talking to Don and Bud, 2 hours of pressure washing. I'm beat.

Good night.

well, we all survived for the most part. This was a great trip and I'm sorry to the ones who missed it. we got back around noon and we're both exhausted. As far as I could tell everyone had a great time. minimal casualties were suffered so thats always a good thing. It was great to meet some new people and see others again. Thanks to everyone who went for making this a great trip. Special thanks to everyone that helped me when my wheel bearing self destructed, it turns smooth and silky now, or at least that one wheel does. the engine is a different story.

This was another great weekend of riding. It was great meeting some new members. Joemeg and his son Andy came with his Argo and they weren't afraid to get muddy. russriders also showed up; Andy and his two sons were real troopers. This was only Andy's second time really riding his Max II and he seemed to be picking it up quickly. I also got to meet Tom who was a hoot!

Here are the only pictures I took. I'm sure everyone else has lots more. Video will be edited this week sometime.

[George]

Thanks for posting those pictures Mike. It looks as though I missed a really good time. I guess Ashtabula's only around the corner though.

Lance glad you made it home safely, Joe Meg and son Andy have a very long trip home also and hope their trip is safely also. Mark(Jersey) and Tom will be leaving tomorrow. For all that were able to make this ride "Thanks". Each one of these rides are great because of the people that attend, met some new member which was great and regular riders get to see each other and ride together again.

Got home around 8 in the evening and put everything up for the night. The cleaning and sorting will begin tomorrow.

Ride Summary:
(1) One Max II sank but was saved and will ride again (one tough little machine)
(2) One Machine had to be pulled from a mud hole by a bulldozer(Now that's a story Not a 6x6 machine)
(3) One collision between a Max 4 and a Argo Bigfoot (superficial damage: Pop Rivets)
(4) 2 night rides
(5) Lots of mud holes to tackle
(6) Lots of sand water and hills
(7) Lake crossing (small distance lots of people did not know what to think about that)
(8) New applicants and interviews for new member to the East Coast Banana Buggy club: This is the recently started franchise.
(9) Lots and lots of riding
(10) Lots of questions about the machines from onlookers.

All in all it was a great week end, there were a lot of video takes and a ton of pictures. It will take a bit for all to get posted.
