Busco Beach in NC, April 22-24, 2016

[onlyonce]

Had a great time as usual following a Friday through Sunday stay. The rain on Friday made for some real fun slipping and power sliding through the trails. That evening ride was a blast and a beater with everyone really having to work to get through some of the places we went, not many main trails on that ride. Overall everyone's machines seemed to hold together real well over the weekend with only small repairs needed to get them back on the trail. Busco seems to find the weak spots in machines real quick. Great seeing everyone.

Just arrived home after a 10+ hour trip. Had a great time and made some new friends and wonderful seeing old friends. The 96 motor home went to limp home mode with the check engine light on. What grueling drive with low power, manual shifting low speeds and strange noises. Regardless we had a wonderful time and can't wait for October

Had a great time despite the bearing going bad early Friday morning on the first ride of the day. Thanks to Gill, Dan, Norm, and the rest helping out trying to get that axle removed and going off to the store to pickup items, lending tools, selling bearings, etc... I appreciate the help greatly! It pained me a bit to slow it down with a broken "leg" but it was still good times like always. I dropped off the Argo to Bost Argo and Ken will dazzle that bad boy and get 'er back in action in no time!

Yes John, that was a great trip and great rides, especially the night ride. That was an adventure. I believe that Busco will actually make your machine cleaner.

I will be there Friday, around 4pm. Camp site E30.

The group usually camps around the bath house/concession stand. you should be able to hook up with someone there. The rides go out randomly, maybe a few groups at different times. BB is pretty much an island so its hard to get lost.
