BOTW pics...great trip!!

[Goatman]

Here's my pics, all 399 of them with captions sort of telling the story. It was great that people came from so far, Erik from Portland, Jeff from Wisconson, Brad from Wisconson, Sean and his folks from Ohio, and Led from CO, plus the Sierra Chapter guys from NorCal. The weather forced a couple of schedule changes but we mostly wheeled in good weather all week, though we hit some bad rainstorms while traveling. Thanks to Mil Thornton for cooking dinner and breakfast for us in Parker, it was very good as usual.

Thankfully, all the carnage (and there was a lot of it this year) was able to be fixed except for Sean's folks rear driveline and yoke, and Matt's front output shaft yoke, but both breaks were on their last day of wheeling so it wasn't too big a deal. There was considerable body damage on this trip, with most of it hardly noticed (few pics) because there was so much. I'm sure Brad will have plenty of stories to tell when he gets to Winterfest, if he can even remember where he got every dent and scrape.

Like always, this trip is a first rate vacation, with the best wheeling and great friends. Take your time and enjoy the pictorial......I'm sure a few pics will generate a few more comments.

Just like one of you young bucks to go right to that picture.......

Sean pretty much went over backwards. When Jes gets his pics up he has a good sequence of the whole thing. That waterfall is so dug out at the bottom that it's a make it or roll situation if you hit it hard enough to have a chance.

, Brad from Wisconson,

oops.......meant Brad from Chicago. Chixjeff came out with him. Brad earned his stripes the hard way, and with no whining. I'm sure he has a few more build plans after this trip. Anyone want a nearly new set of 33" Mudzilla's?

Amazingly, Porch Puppy (Andy) made it through another trip (he's been on them all) with no body damage. He's done all the trails we run and still has NO body damage......running 33's and a stick. Besides being a great driver, he's an excellent spotter.

Too bad for you guys, we're going to wheel in Attica, Indiana this week and y'all won't be there.
I'll bet we won't get near as much rain as you did.
