We arrived back this evening about 8:00. I got to tell you...St. Joes was awesome! Worst buggy turnout for a bash but the best bash i have been to yet! Good people, good food, good times. The camping was incredible. I have been to the first two bashes at Paddy's and this place crushes Paddy's. The trails were awesome! I drove the 100 trail (a perimeter trail about 14 miles long) forwards and backwards 3 times and never broke down once. For once, my buggy was flawless all weekend! Wish I could say the same for our camper. When we left the park today, apparently I forgot to latch the tongue! First time I stopped....the tongue popped off and the trailer smashed into my truck! I tore a hole in the roof of the camper and cracked the plastic all around the propane tank. DOH!!!!!
Everyone there was friendly and eager to lend a helping hand with whatever was needed. Ask Teamhog and AcBlind.
Funnyman is definately a funny man.
My computer is still unloading all the pics and video I took. I will sort though them and start uploading as soon as possible. Tyler and I didn't want to leave. I don't think anyone did. We'll definately be back next year for prolly a whole week!
Thanks to everyone who came for making this a fantastic weekend and one to remember for quite some time!

I know this is a picture post, but I've got to let everyone know. These BNews guys are the tops.
Between the two Yerf-Dogs, Adam and I kept the GoGoKarting gang busy with the welder. Thanks Ray, your an artist with that thing. We even got Johnny Faizer in on the Y'Dog weld fest. More on all that later.
I'm still in awe of the giving that everyone had for each other. It was never a matter of what someone wanted. It was what they needed and the fact that it needed to get done.
I'll post more later, my battery is about to go and I don't know where my charger is.
Sorry to hear about the trailer John.
Like I said I'll post more probably tomorrow or the next day.
To all who attended... THANK YOU.

This was prolly one of my favorite things at St. Joe's. That's Jay in the Twister 250 and Eggyhed in the Pilot. Funnyman is the red buggy trying to make it around with his flat tire. He didn't realize he had a flat. You could get going pretty fast in this donut hole. Fast enough to get dizzy! _________________ Twister modded 150

This was our first Bash but it won't be our last! We had an awesome time! Meeting the other members in person and making new friends was great.
Like Blister said, the facilities were outstanding and the OVR park had a little of everything.
So when are we going again? _________________ Twister Hammer Head 250 - 2006
