Yeah, seeing him there made the event for me. Dang if my eye allergies started getting worked up when the flag was presented to his family.  //:'(//


I was going to say the same thing!!  Think a bug flew in my eye right then.
My excuse was pollen.

Great turn out and a great weekend. Glad to hear the final numbers and also enjoyed hanging out with the usual suspects.

We had an epic fire at camp thanks to Todd. The GATR Fire standards are high...if it doesn't make everyone back up then it's not big enough.





I didn't take any pics but here are some of my near rollover courtesy of Kevin's daughter. The truck slid into a v notch on the last obstacle while trying to climb on trail 43. I was certain it was going to keep tipping but the tire sidewall held it as you can see in one of the pics. With the help of Hayden, Kevin and Jay I was able to drive it up and back onto the tires with the winch.

Safety first! It's always when you least expect something to happen.

Scott just so you know axles are meant to be more horizontal than vertical.   K?  Just so you know.

Great pictures and stories!

I agree with Todd...seeing Reid out and at the Event was an absolute highlight for me.

Just before the raffle, when Tom was making his opening remarks, he mentioned that the family was there and that Reid was sitting with his mom.  Reid heard his name over the loudspeakers and got a huge grin, I will never forget that happy little grin as long as I live.

This right here is what this weekend was all about.  I was sitting across from him and got to see him smile too.  Another awesome moment was when people, some of whom are complete strangers, were jumping up to match money donations by other people waving money donations.   That's when the pollen was really thick in the air by me. 

I would like to see what we can do better/different to double the amount raised.

Carnage for me was the passenger stub shaft. Broke while winching as the tire was in a v notch and the winch was sucking it deeper into the hole with the tire turned all to the right. Bang! Jay said he say sparks. Then as soon as Todd and I get it to wear we can back it out two guys in yota trucks come up and the first truck dies out right behind me on the trail. So we helped him get out and then got mine backed out. I wheeled on 3 wheel drive the rest of the weekend. It is crazy how much one dead front tire can stop you on the easiest obstacles. It was almost embarrassing  //:o// I also found one of my gas tank skid mounts had broken a weld on the frame. No big deal there. Just weld again. Had a blast!!!
I've grown tired of this.

Here's a link to the page for my photos. I have to give a shout out to MaQ for taking most of the shots. I was having so much fun wheeling I didn't take many of rigs myself.

The two door rigs had a much easier time on this obstacle. They had to pull both of the 4 door trail limos out! LOL
Here's Rob havin' to warm 'em up to climb this little section.LOL

And this level of Ingenuity is awesome.

I just wanted to post a recent picture since CFR back in May. Reid sure is growing up quick. He had a rough week last week but he always finds away to keep a smile
