I bet we can find some mud somewhere

[john swenson]

Remember, Mike chose Fall Bash. Free food, free money give away, don't quote me but I believe $2500.00 cash give away. Bon Fire. BB mud is real bad when it is dry. It would be nice if no one got stuck, half my dream would come true. Remember JerseyBigFoot in that bad pudding Mud, I would leave the tracks on JohnBoy. I have done everything I could with BigGreenie, she is loaded and ready to watch all You kids have a great time. We arrive Wednesday around 10-11 am. Lewis is trying to catch me and Gil, he is now 63 years old, HAPPY Birthday Lewis. Only thing that keeps me going is watching DADDY GIL showing me how it's done. Kris just told me it might rain on Saturday when we are there. Temps will be in the High 70s See you guys soon.

My chances of coming are not looking good due to work. I haven't given up all hope just yet though. If I don't make it, take plenty of video so I can at least watch you guys have fun! Let me know who wins the $2500.

question, where is everyone camping and or meeting up? i'm leaving camp lajeune tomorrow afternoon and i would hate to miss the early action.

[Mike]

It changes from time to time but start by looking at the front near the showers. If you don't see anyone there, work your way back around the wash station and hang a right. Back near the trees is where others park. It has tended to get spread out over the past few times but you can usually find someone fairly quickly.

[dillydally27]

sounds good, just picked up a truck bed of fire wood, looking forward to seeing everyone.

oct. busco report ... the crowd was small but enthusiastic !!! the main trails thursday and friday were very dusty. if you were behind someone you could hardly see ! the trails in the woods were not bad. less mud holes but the larger ones that still had water in them were brutal !! the mud was like soft ''clay'' and just grabbed the machines and held on. lot's of pulling out.... thanks deedemember beinge and chris, and john and scott for the holes they helped with. those ''tanks'' get the job done. super great ride thursday nite led by rick. one spot where we had to go thru almost everyone had to be winched. the ''tanks'' were'nt there but raymond ''dillydally'' had a big comealong that did the trick. another super ride friday nite led by argo jim. places i did'nt recognize. rain some saturday afternoon and got rid of the dust. nice day rides then and saturday nite again. even though it was dry,the was no lack of challenging mud places. the holes were deeper rutted and after the showers were super slick. try and straddle the deep ruts and then just slide down in them. overall it was another fun times with great friends. and not wituout breakdowns as always. we missed the others..maybe see you in april. i think john and scoott got some short videos. later, johnboy va.
