[amphibious drew]

Got home at 6 tonight and i am almost done getting everything unloaded. I had a great time this weekend, as did my family. Thanks to those that took dakota along for a ride or two. It really helped convince the wife that my hobby is not as crazy as she thaught it was, and dakota cant wait to go back.

Just wanted to say what a great weekend my son and i had. Thanks to everyone for a great time. Really great group of people. Looking forward to April, we will definetly be there. Gotta give a big thanks to Freq for the trail repair on my tire. Can't wait to do it again!http://www.6x6world.com/forums/image...es/biggrin.gif

Is there a location for the live feeds and did any of them make it to the site?

[jerseybigfoot]

Just pulled in. I want to thank all those that attended the ride for a great time. Met some new friends and hope to see them on future rides. JPS I hope you survive the bee siting without any reaction. JP did some crazy gymnastics with his hustler without a scratch and then a bee stings him in the neck as he is riding home in Mark's truck.Ouch!!!!!

I made it home at 6:00. I had great time. I'm really glad I stayed all day Sunday. We had a very good night ride last night. Thanks to everyone that made it.

You may be able to make out a 6 or 8 wheeler in there somewhere.

Edit: And here is one more picture. It's a screen shot from one of the videos. Look at the face I'm making.

Thanks again everyone for the great food, great times, all the pulls out of the mud, and to all of the members of the tightest knit group of folks I know (all the 6x6World members). This was one of the best Busco trips yet. As Marc mentioned everything went pretty much flawlessly except for the ride home when a bee flew in and stung me on the neck.......which I'm still having to deal with now, ughhhh! Luckily Mr. & Mrs. Jerseybigfoot were there with a bag of supplies to help me out. Thanks to everyone that made this event a success and thanks Mark for meeting up with me and Brady to get our machines down there.

One last Busco video

[Roadtorque]

Thanks for posting the videos mightmaxIV. I have really enjoyed watching all the action in HD

[trevorakm1]

boy dan those adair tracks really make short work of even the meanest mud holes, very impressive. got to get me a set of those. you should be on the payroll for track sales. have you ever come accross a situation that they let you down and stuck? how are they holding up any substantial wear?

I enjoyed all the videos and seeing different machines, and obviously drivers with differing skill levels. You can always learn some things by watching these videos. Thanks everybody for the exciting footage.

[mightymaxIV]

The more I am around AATV's the more I realize that every machine has it's good and bad points and every machine does something better than another, It's all about what you enjoy and what type of driving you do. I truly enjoyed watching the different way each machine conquered an obstacle and it was amazing to see the advantage and disadvantage swing back and forth depending on the obstacle.

We got home around 10:30 Sunday night after a 13 hour drive back up into 'Yank territory (much better than the 15 hour drive down... ). GeoJem and I both had a great time, as usual. The Hustler and 5 both performed great all weekend long, save for a couple bearings on the 'Tank that decided to wrestle themselves out of the bearing flanges (oh, and running out of gas in the 980.... whatta dummy....)

Busco seemed pretty dry this fall, compared to the float-fest we had during the spring ride. Nevertheless, the mud was just about everywhere, and proved to be quite a bit more challenging. I tried to do a mental tally of how many times my machines had to be yanked from the mud. I lost count at about 9.

Thursday was a bit of a waste for me, as I got stung in the lip around lunch time and it swelled up pretty bad. After four benadryl, I went nighty-night for a while, and didn't wake up until the 'Racer family rolled in around 12 or 1 am.

Thanks to everyone for all the delicious food, and all the great times as usual. I hope to bring at least one different machine for the spring ride, but who knows what I'll be able to get done. The winter's long and cold up here. Plenty of opportunity to get something done.

I will see your melted face picture, and raise you a bee sting to the face picture.
