Foresters don't need a glock, just a stick. As for the jackets though, my method usually involves running like hell.

Brady,

glad to see you finally got on here, those sliders are awsome, and I'm sure they weight about as much as mine, but when it comes to sliders I don't think you can beat square tubing. Did you ever get that fender that you tore up on our night rescue fixed?

Can't wait to see everyone again, I'm going to shoot to be there Thursday night. When I was talking about a night run, I was talking about the long night drive there, not a trail ride, I prefer the fireside and bulls*** over some beer. This time I will make sure to buy outside of Murphy, now that I know it's a dry county.

Mike, you can't leave us hanging with something like that, tell the short summary of things.

Brady, I sure hope to see you up there again, but I understand that bind to get there, I really can't afford the time away from work, and with gas prices the way they are, it makes the trek look more extensive by the day, but it's needed more than anything. Good luck with everything, and I hope it all works out that you and Josh can both make it there.

I've been on several night runs with Chris - lot's of flash light use and wandering around trying to spot with a flashlight. We were just hoping that we were making enough noise to scare off any snakes, bears, or "Deliverance" Red Necks !!!!

Damage chances are greatly increased when you can't see and the mirrors
are useless. I'll be drinking beer at the campfire - see ya when you get back to camp - remember Austin leaving his rig at Fain's Ford ? I do not want to participate in the dark wrenching !!!

It is fun as hell though !!!

Yeah but that breakage on Austin's rig occured durring the day run. I agree no more 3AM trail repairs. We did run into what could have been a deliverance moment, luckily it turned out okay. Everyone have a spare axel this trip, or at least have one avaiable in the group, so as to not repeat our previous adventure.

I know that he broke the axle during the day but the results were exactly the same ! The Deliverance factor scares me !!!!
There could be father rapers in those woods !

For us it was nothing but RNRs! (Thats Rednecks on Rockwells Their Website ) Oh, and their drunk ass Girlfriends! Haha... That reminds me... I finally got a power cord for my hardrive so I'm going to go edit the video! I somehow lost half of it, so I was pretty pissed, but ONE DAY it will be done!

Brett,
I have a japanese folding trick with my legs... thats how I do it... I also have an auto, so that helps big time! I also mix the folding technique with a ghetto thug gangster lean that I picked up down here in the dirty dirty... so mixing the leg fold with the gangster lean and I fit PRETTY well...

Do you have a link to the video? It was the fall colors ride. If you have a t-shirt from the ride, it has the dates. ( I think)

No link yet b/c I haven't finished the titles (waiting for the date). I also need to compress it. Otherwise your computer wouldn't be able to play it b/c its so big and it would also take about a week 3-5 days do download on broadband...

I have to run to class but if someone could gimmie the dates I will compress it and upload it for everyone's enjoyment tonight!
