Camping and Ma Bell...
« on: May 25, 2008, 07:28:36 PM »
Had a great time camping and trail riding with you all for the short time.  I apologize for needing to take off early like that, but it's better to listen to your wife from time to time.  She did admit she thought it was really fun for the part we did on the trail.  She was also amazed the Rover pulled itself out of the puddle.  

I think I started her out with a little to much trail.  I thought she was going to rip the grab bar off the dash coming up the hill lol.

On our way out when we were coming down the hill Maddie was laughing and giggling she loved it.

I'm going to try and take her up to the trails around the quarry next weekend possibly so she can see a lighter trail run.  So I can keep her interest peeked:D  

We both had a great time around the camp fire howling at the moon with you.

Here are a few pics...

well Don I heard about your rig getting a little beat up last night when Tex called me.  My damage from yesterday was much lighter lol I just lost a bumper corner and my rear bumper will need replaced after I argued with that tree and lost.
