Well, the trailer and truck are loaded up with everything but my suitcase. Hope to be on 6x6cam in about 14 hours.

Way to keep improving the site Mike

I don't know if anyone there will read this, but with tomorrow's weather looking downright scary (damaging winds, tornadoes, and large hail), I have decided to come on Sunday to play in what will be the newly formed mud holes.

I hope you don't wash away, and that a few of you are still up for riding Sunday!

[Mike]

Thanks for the feedback on the live stream. If the signal were any worse, we probably wouldn't even be able to broadcast but like Model Citizen says, it is working. I haven't seen the footage yet. I'm about to go watch some of the videos and see if we can improve it tomorrow. Like Raleigh Trainer mentioned, the weather here tomorrow is suppose to be severe. Rain in the morning followed by winds in the upper 20 mph range and thunderstoms in the afternoon. If it is bad in the morning we won't be broadcasting at all. Let's hope that's not the case.

I got back from the job that kept me here. My helper made more than me See no feed, hope all is well and muddy down there. Guess the rain's killing signal, I'll check back later to see if it cleared and you've gone live again. At least Sunday should be hog heaven for you guys and gals down there.

Just saw some live shots of the weather in Raleigh. It was pretty intense. Intense stuff moving thru Smithfield & Salemburg, but Goldsboro looks like you should be O.K. It's moving NE FAST. Stay safe, guys. It's a good thing you're amphibious. Looks like it's passing thru quick & nice stuff is behind the front.

Got Mud? You will.

Its raining here now, but hopefully it will be a fast storm. George arrived a few hours ago safe and sound, and the group of amphibs keeps growing. Thanks to race giving me a new axle to replace the bent one, my Attex is about ready for another trail ride. Just have to seat a bead again....waiting for the down poor to stop first.

Glad to hear y'all are ok. I saw Raleigh was Tornado warned a little bit ago. But now you got MUD! Go play in it!!!!

[Mike]

Sorry that I didn't get to broadcast today but the weather was crazy. The wind was gusting over 20mph and sand was flying everywhere this morning. Then, this afternoon there were some serious downpours and storms. We all threw on our rain gear and just kept riding though. I'm sure everyone will have lots of good video and photos as usual.


In preparation for the after-ride chat and video, I have deleted the planning posts in this thread.

[Model Citizen]

That is so good to hear, Robbie. I read yesterday that there was a tornado alert just 5 miles west of Goldsboro at one point. They were dropping everywhere. Your beautiful state took a beating. Not the weekend you hoped for, but everyone is safe.
