Love seeing Levi interacting with the guys.... I can just imagine the memories he'll have and recall as he gets older.... He's a great kid and you and your wife should be extremely proud of him....

He didn't shut up because he held all his words in for 3 days... Kind of like holding a fart in on a first date and then the whole drive home you just let it rip.

I didn't hear him say much! He's such a polite kid. Well done man! Glad he enjoyed it.

I busted ass in the truck just before I got home, I thought Chad and I were both gonna puke. LMAO. If it was my wife in the truck, she may have filed for divorce it was so bad.

Yes Levi is an awesome kid. Still a little shy though. Maybe over the next few TOO events we can break him of that.

Yes. He was a well behaved boy. I'm sure the memory you gave him this weekend will be one he has for the rest of his life. Your a good Dad!
Not to mention "Uncle Dannman" giving him some big boy time alone on his machine.

I can't begin to tell you how good this weekend was for my sole. In spite of the heat, I had a blast! The only times I have laughed that hard in the last 7 years have been at this event, last years event and the bunny hunt. Thank you Jessi, Joe and Mike for hosting another grand weekend. Seeing new and old faces is always a highlight!

The pictures are such a blast for those of us that attended to review and just prompt additional fond memories of the weekend.
They can't even begin to represent the good times, knowledge shared and brotherhood of this group if your haven't attended so with that being said, Here is my contribution.

MEN cont.

Friday morning I awoke to Dan rattling around just outside my tent at 7:00 am.
My 7:15 am my tent, located just down wind, was filled with the smell of thick cooked bacon... Needless to say, I got up. He made these outstanding 2 egg,thick bacon, (or fried balony, or both) with cheese on texas toast breakfast sandwiches Friday and Saturday morning.
There was strong coffee going every morning at both ends of camp... Thank you Dannman.Glorious!
The other meals outstanding as well. Sorry I did not get picts of them.

THE DUST, MUD AND THE MACHINES:

It is such a treat to get to ride somewhere other than home turf. The Mingo Sportsman club offered thousands of acres ranging from the "Power line" ride that was a giant roller coaster to the "River Bottom" ride that was mud, holes and water. Dust was bad at some areas but everyone had a great time with no one getting hurt.

Last year I racked up 63 miles on the Brute. This year it was 92.7 miles with several day rides and 1-2 night rides every evening.


Dan re-visits his now famous "No Fucks Given" location from last year.
