First off I have to thank Karen and Mark for putting
together such an amazing weekend. We had such a
great
time! Zach is actually chomping at the bit to go
back to school to tell his classmates all his
stories from
this weekend. Everyone was so nice and made this
such a memorable time for us we will definitely come
up for
the next one (although I will not be trying out any
short cuts so to speak). Since many know that I
hit
a bull on the way up in Montana, we did make it
thanks to a rental truck. And Mark was totally
right about
my truck not getting touched till after we got back,
but today (Saturday) we made it home driving through
6
states in 24 hours and my truck being held together
with some good ol' fashioned duct tape for the
headlight, bailing wire for the bumper and some
chain to keep the hood down, as for the internal
parts staying in place I'm too afraid to undo the
chain to see.
I don't know where to begin describing the amount of
fun we had this weekend which by far is one of the
best weekends I have ever had. I think Zach puts it
best with a very exuberant "AWESOME". We met so
many great people that we definitely hope to see
again. Thank you Karen for letting us to
scooter with your
dogs, I must admit that was a truly amazing
experience. Zach is still in awe of Nik and I know
that isn't going to change. Down here in So. Cal.
my guys are fast but compared to Batdog and Hector
it's like comparing turtles to rabbits (obviously my
guys are the turtles). Thanks Colleen and Martin
for letting me tag along Monday morning when you ran
your team. I am still getting used to not seeing
Rocket, Dew and Trigger, I could never walk past
them without saying hi to each one of them. Also
thanks Karen, Colleen and Martin for loaning us your
quads to run our team. Zach also has a big thank
you for Mark, he loved driving the quads. This
weekend was so worth the drive from California. The
weather was great the scenery couldn't be beat and
everyone just made this weekend fantastic. I truly
don't know how to thank you enough!
