I want to say a personal thanks to Seneca and his expeditionary crew for all the work they did preparing for this ride and for guiding this ride. Cookie Monster and I had a terrific time this weekend. Hated to see it end this afternoon.
We saw many of the sites that have been talked about: the arch and cave area, carpenter's rock, preacher's rock and a great overlook that Panner too us to on Friday afternoon. There was always plenty of people there to help when getting stuck in mud holes or setting my quad on its side. Also had an interesting experience with a couple rattlesnakes in the middle of the trail on Friday.
I also want to specially thank Jerry (CNCGuy) and his entire family for welcoming us to their farm and allowing us to camp there. A wonderful group of people. _________________ 2006 Suzuki King Quad 700 Maxxis Bighorns, TwinAir Filter, YFZ450 Modded Shocks on Front, Pro Taper Raptor Handlebars, Midland 26 Mile FRS with full breakaway headset, Garmin GPSMap 76CSx on Ram Mount, Quad Boss rear box.

Basically ditto to everything Disaster said. I know I had a good time as did Marlee. Three years old and maybe I expected too much for her to hang all day, but she enjoyed herself. All I heard the whole ride home was how she wanted to go back and ride and see the horses. She also loved having Jarred and Meredith around to play with. Thanks to all of those that made this ride a success!! Thanks for letting us camp CNC!! _________________ Please support all our troops. GO ARMY!!

Not only did you miss the Awesome sunset from Wagon Gap Rock, but you also missed all the critter sounds, while sitting on a woods trail with all engines and lights off at 10pm  _________________ 09 CAMO GRIZZLY 550 EPS

Great Pictures, Dale. From where I'm sitting it looked like one big family reunion. Glad all got to go and enjoy. To Ed, Clara, Nanner, Rob, Mark and any others that helped prepare for this ride over the last few weeks, STAND UP AND TAKE A BOW  _________________ Bill Troutman,

I agree 100% Wahoo, they did a great job getting this one ready. The trails were great as well as the sights, some of those rock formations are awesome As some have already stated the pace was a little slow but with 86 bikes its going to be that way I had a good time and look forward to a return trip  _________________ '08 Can Am Outlander 800 ( JB's )

| Had a great trip saw a lot of beautiful country,rode some great trails. Want to thank everyone involved for all the help on the way , Was great to be able to put faces with the names on the board, just like riding with family . Had a chance to meet people that we had the pleasure of riding with last year going to White Rock . The ridge Runner have the friendliest people in the world never come away from a visit without feeling like I have made new friends . Nancy send a special thanks to those who were there to help her out..And to those at the barn thank you for saving a meal for us when we got back in late that night. Sure was better than the peanut butter that was on the menu.. |

Thanks to all that had a part in getting this ride together. This is definitely the biggest one I've ever been a part of and one that I won't soon forget. I had a wonderful wonderful time. I only wish that I had gotten to meet each and every person.
To those I did meet, I won't call you by name because I don't want to leave anyone out, it was great. I hope to ride with y'all again real soon. One thing for sure, Ridge Runners do it right and have fun doing it. Just a great group of people. I'm confident my riding crew and I made some new life long riding buddies this weekend.  |

WOW what a great 2 days...I pulled into the camp site on Friday around 2PM and right off the bat..paner had his weed eater out cleaning off spots for us all..thanks paner for the spots..the spot on slick rock..and the pine sol mop head cleaning of the barn bathroom Sunday AM.
We left out for a short tour..and seen that Ed, Clara, Mad 1, and Rob were already on the trails...along with welder, generator, and mesh wire for last minute repairs on the car hauler...job well done also. Right before dark we all hooked up and off to Rally's for some hot wings and such...Judy Rhodus order the asian style, I got the garlic, paner got extra hot..and Ed got ANGRY WINGS...I tasted some of his sauce..and these wings were not angry..they were just plain..PEEEEEED OFF. Paner along with his hot wing sauce covered fingers goes to the mens room..but does not..DOES NOT..wash his paws first..he came back walking very funny like..the rest you can feel in.
Next morning came early after some biscuts with jelly and honey..I was ready to roll..so we made it on down to the starting area..and picked up some very nice tees as well..worth every penny also.
We started out with 70 toys..and close to 100 peeps..with CNC guy waiting on some others..and after catching up..we had over 85 toys..and well over 100 peeps..I am told this breaks a record set at another riding area a few months back..and sure that numbers are coming..if so...it will be great to see this crowd..any crowd..break it again.
The ride was slow..and was posted at an avg of 5MPH when Ed seen it growing in size..and we did just about that speed..main thing no major accidents, or real major break downs...I think all day we had 6-8 turn over's on their side in the off camber areas...some on 2WD only..lasted all day..and all nite as well. As the day grew long..some headed back in..and a good bakers dozen or more of us...stayed the course..and rode until 11:40 that nite..total miles all weekend on my toy...98. Thanks Judy and all for the burgers/dogs, and fried taters at 11:30....sure was better than the blony and crackers in my frig.
Thanks to Ed and his whole crew of workers that have spent the last few weekends getting the trails/car hauler ready..and to CNC guy and his family for the best place to camp I have seen in moons..his mom wants this to be a yearly event..and even talked of a pig roast...could this be...we will see. I seen some old pals..and made some new ones..and it was good to see Ken and Jerry Ledford out on one of these rides..they both had a blast. My hands gave out about 6 hrs into the ride..so thanks to Ky Kodiak for driving and letting me film some..you will see his fliming as we both come down the car hauler..thank Dale. Bell wants to go back..and reverse this ride some day..and climb the hauler..ON A DRY DAY ONLY.
My Flix are below..I hope I got everyone..if not..next time for sure..it was a pretty big file so I broke it down into 3 parts...and dropped the resolution a bit.
Pt 1 is HERE
Pt 2 is HERE
Pt 3 is HERE _________________ Low Cost, High Quality Web Designs

Bell.
Great write up and thanks very much for taking the video. Also I appreciate very much the kind words from everyone. I'd have loved to got more in but we did accomplish the primary goal and that was to show everyone they could survive the Carhauler trail . _________________ HCRR Board of Directors |

Ditto and we got a nice TEE to prove it...gettin some emails from folks wanting a copy of the flix..and info about our club and trail head...I guess the down turn economy has not got to us folks that love the outdoors YET.  _________________ Low Cost, High Quality Web Designs

Great weekend, We had a great time and a great ride. Thanks to all of the people that put this together I know that a lot of work went into this ride. The carhauler trail was great. A big thanks to Ed and Clara for your help geting me out before dark. Stater went out on my bike and battery went dead, Ed and Clara let me swap my battery with theirs so i could get out of woods before had to use headlights. Thanks again a great ride.
