He said it was a blast, lots of fun. He said there were about 40 rigs there and could fit more. The club received high praise from the BLM folks for the cleanliness of our camp set-up. They were very impressed that the two outhouses had been hauled in. There were several mis-haps. Janice broke her ankle, Mark hurt his already hurt back and Wes’s son-in-law broke his wrist. MLRC had 14 families present with quads. Scott, Trina, Buddy and Don & Nancy had their rigs there. They did 130 miles of trail on Sunday! Poobah and Gareth visited the adopt-a-trail on 5/14. A snow groomer crashed into the gate. However they were able to get it closed. Bill England took Judy’s place.

There were a total of 5 rigs on the trip. We visited the pethroglyths, saw wild horses and had a good day. Mike twisted his driveline towards the end of the trail. It’s now replaced and ready to go back. Richard did find out the reason the homeowners were angry at the likes of 4 wheel drivers. They did not appreciate folks bringing their campers and rigs in there and leaving them for days at a time. Elko: Del & Judy had a great time in Elko but Del is positive every rock there moves. He said the historical and ghost town stuff was great and he is going back for a fall color trip.
