It was great to meet everyone sat. We had a great trail ride and enjoyed watching the crazy drivers(you know who are! ) My son and I had a great time and even though we were timid drivers we seemed to fit in just fine. Thanks Mike for organizing the event and giving us a great picture (hope Jennifer forgives you). Looking forward to our next outing!

[QUOTE=jpswift1;185999]That Sierra Trail Boss 4x4 totally reminds me of Amphiman's "Two-Thirds of a Scramber" haha.

But this one is cute as bug. Did not get a chance to talk to him. Where was this fellow from, i have the other half of his machine and frame in my back yard. I have parts free if he wants them.

Left around 9:30 this morning, said our farewells and hit the road for home. Traffic was light and had a great ride home. Great weekend, great people and can't wait until October to do it all over again. Have a few videos of the ride some with my finger in the way and some not. Thanks to our far away members for making such a long haul. Hope all have a very safe trip home. 6X6

Wish to thank y'all for another fine weekend and apologize to all we missed riding and visiting with.
Friday was a nice ride with some regulars.
Saturday we missed the group ride as the Conquest's maiden voyage and hurried Busco fix was not as planned with both push rod and carb. issues, thanks to Toysforme and Notfast for the carb. work, we all missed the picture as Sandy's battery connection was poor and the carb. found some debris in it so had Lindsay and Boomer take Sandy and the Truck for a test drive. Saturdays ride was fun and enjoyed with minor trail repairs on those.
Sunday's early ride was fun again with minor trail repairs, again. There was a near "Minnow" moment before lunch which turned out fine, luckily. The later ride was very nice and enjoyed by 9 machines even though the Truck found 'My Hole" again, there were 4 machines that came that the Bridge hole with all being assisted except member onlyonce. we ended later with a nice winding water stretch.

Thanks again for a great weekend filled with friendship.

Here's a video I threw together. First time working with this camera, so it's a little bit shaky and taken in some weird angles, but hey, I'm learning. Unfortunately we missed a lot of the rides, including the group one, leaving this video with only a handful of the turnout. Had a great weekend with everyone! Thanks for another great event

Also, here's a short video of Sam's Avenger after taking on some water

Good job on the video!! Really enjoyed it!

How did that happen?

[ARGOJIM]

Coming out an at extreme angle, water came over the rear end. It was filled to the bottom of the seats.

yea, i did the same thing when sam and i rode sat. afternoon. got pulled out by a 4 wheeler after the engine died. drained the tub , then sam and i pulled the spark plugs, blew the water out. then it fired right up ! thanks for the help sam, that was fun. johnboy va. had the best time at busco.enjoyed each ride and all the fun,friendly people. told don kenyon today i felt more a part of the group this time too. thanks to one and all.

^^^^Johnboy, that was a good 'ol time for sure!
That Argo getting full of water on Sunday sure gave us all a good bath to say the least. That bad boy filled up with water so quick then stalled out the engine it was crazy. Can't belive the thing never sunk. I appreciate all the help getting us out of that mess. I wish the video was taken when the back end started taking on water. That was definetely a wild time for sure. Best Busco Beach trip yet! Thanks to all for another great time and i'll see ya all in October!!
All the videos and pictures are real neat. One of these days i'll figure out how to upload pics/videos and slap 'em on the site.

[john swenson]

yes sir , you almost had an argo submarine ! i thought mike took some video on the sat. morning ride after the group picture with scott and son in the tracked 8x8 argo. like to see that. you were in the group also. john boy va.

[Mike]

Sam, I hate I missed that. John, I do have video, it just takes me a while to get around to editing/posting. I have gone through it all and now just have to edit. I was a little bummed that I didn't get as much good footage as I thought that I did. A lot of our Saturday morning ride, once we got to the river, was the same thing in every mud hole. We would get through the entire mud hole and then get high centered trying to get out. It didn't make for very exciting video.

John, I think I probably got the most shots of you with your machine at odd angles. I'll post a screenshot in a second from the hole that tore up my Max II. It was pretty good.

Edit: Here's the photo
