Got the important stuff strapped down, now just playing the waiting game till morning!
I was just informed we may be having monkey bread and peach cobbler cooked in a Dutch Oven over a campfire sometime this week! Compliments of a 11 year old boy scout named Daven! He's getting pretty good with food and fires
I mentioned to him that peach cobbler goes great over homemade vanilla ice cream and that there might POSSIBLY be some of the best on the planet down there.. He immediately started packing the fixins lol
Safe journey yall!

Cooling prob seems to have been solved. No issues yest and Brian and I had a couple real good runs. Oil drip but since I'm less than 16 drips per minute I'm good!

Hope this helps satisfy your itch.
We had a blast as usual. Sand was perfect. Crazy shapes and a little sketchy to figure them out on day 1 but we worked it out as you can see. I was the only one that broke. Last day broke a 5/8 grade 8 and the steering box doing 50mph. No harm no foul. Loaded up and it is fixed. Went riding last weekend here locally.

Lets see if you guys can make it sept 12-21

Looks like a lot of fun!  Thanks for the fix!

sand racer awesome video!!   those trails are a blast!  who's revolt is the one that pops little wheelies on take off at the beginning of the video? how many made it down in your group? i'm jealous cause that sand was 100x smoother than this week!! i saw what looked like 3 diff witch's in you video glad no one hit them. some one ran the group through one in the trails on a night run!!    it tested everyone's suspension

Well all went well up until the end.  Was packing up Saturday night after finding my waste-gate had almost fallen off.  No big deal, I'll toss in a couple of thread inserts and it'll be good as new. Felt like I was not boosting while pulling John out from the fluffy quad trails and around a bowl or two.   Wondered why my boost was acting up. But that's not all. Almost had the trailer all packed up and the Wife tripped and broke her ankle.  We canceled are trip to Fort Worth TX and came on home Sunday morning.  But while the wife sat in the trailer with her foot up I was out setting on the trailer steps enjoying the night air.  All at once here came every park ranger and sheriff in wood's county and rousted the three young guys that had set up camp just to the south of us a crossed the road.   Don't know what it was all about but they found something in there truck and went through every item they had. They let them load all there bikes and break down camp before putting them in cuffs.  Sure would like to know what there probable cause was? boy's were not being loud or having a party.  Just out biking like everyone else.
