Hi Everyone,
It's been a long time since I've posted anything to the list, but this
weekend definitely required a post or two :-)

A "good time" is putting it quite mildly :-) It was a blast as usual.
Special thanks to you Jon for allowing us onto your property to cause such
havoc. :-) I hope we cleaned up enough afterwards. I always feel like we
didn't do enough whenever we leave your place to thank you for everything
you do for us.

I have to admit after seeing all the Jeeps get stuck, I'm rethinking my
wishes for a jeep as an offroad vehicle. No offence to Jeep owners, but
unless they are massively built up.. they can't handle this terrain as well
as a stock Dakota can.

I don't think Jason and I should get involved in helping with this years'
meet report if you want it up quickly.... LOL... I guess we're just
slowpokes and being perfectionists usualy means always being late for us :-)

Marked and reserved already :-)
