2007 May 27th

Wow we had a pretty good turn out and with more girls and woman.  I believe we had 13 machines according to dad.  So we had Punk, Chuck, Katelin, Kiddos, Lonni, Stephen, Cory, Mike, Connie, Duane, Steve, Stacie, Melisa and the boys Tanner and Coltin.

The day was cooler then we would have liked, but it wasn't too aweful bad.  We tried to get back to the cabin in the woods and we got past where we were stuck last year, but then came to a "No Trespassing" sign....bummer, someone must have spoiled it or some .....owns it now.

The only person that didn't get stuck was Connie on her new machine.  (Wait till next time)!!

The end of the trip we came across a Horned Owl that appeared to be injured. 

Stacie got stuck three times, not bad for her first time out.
