No trail ride pics???????

I was up there just for the afternoon - so those pics are from today. I am sure there will be a ton of pics coming from those on the run.

[Brianut]

Chad that kid of yours is a freakin crackup.

You are in a world of hurt dealing with him as he grows up. Gonna be a terror.
Great time with everyone, thanks to everyone who made it happen.

[Lobobronco]

Despite all my troubles for the day I had an absolute blast. Thanks for the ride wheeling Shawn. Can't wait until next year. Thanks for the pics guys. I didn't take a single one.

[ZOSO]

Big thanks to all the guys that put this together. You guys did a great job as usual.

[casadejohnson]

We got home early this afternoon and I took a little time to install my new Winch! It looks good on the bumper but I still need to test it out. If only there was a new Silverado stuck in a pond nearby, that would be a great test for it!


I took some photos of the winch installed and I have a bunch of photos from the weekend but for some reason I can't get them to upload tonight. I'll try it again tomorrow.


Thanks to everyone who put this together, we had a great time.

[Rox Crusher]

Thanks everyone for attending and making this our best MWFR so far !

It was an all around fun time with out any stress, drama, or complications ! Even the fake campfires were fun.

I can't imagine how it can be better next year.

Thanks again to Mike for creating this event and being a great example of a true team leader.

A very BIG THANKS to the other MWFR committee members for their various contributions to MWFR's success.

Sunday's trail run on Miller Rock capped off the week end.

Kirk did a wonderful job leading the group which was made up of a mix of experience levels and varying degrees of rig capabilities. The trail was challenging in some areas but we all got through them un-damaged (mostly).

Thanks again for providing a great venue for me and my family to have a nice holiday week end !

[Moab Mike]

I hope everyone had as much fun as my family and I had. It was a great kick-off to the 2012 summer and a great time to be had by all. If you missed it, well you missed a great time with your fellow Bronco owner's.

It was a absolute pleasure to have served in a committee of such caliber. A very special thank you to Kinder, Justin, Entourage, Rox Crusher and Hockeydad-22. This group worked as one to make this a great event. You are all the reason this club is as great as is it is!

Mr. and Mrs. Moneypit have expressed an interest in a trip to Ouray in the near future while the flowers are in bloom, are there any takers? I'm in!

Please remember the one's this holiday is truly about, those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I salute the men and women of this country's armed forces, may you all make it home safe and sound to your loved one's.

That would put it around first week of August or last week of July. I might be in for that.

Bummed I missed this event but i had a good time on my summer vacation.

Trail pictures??? Did someone say they wanted to see trail pictures...

Well there are a whole bunch of the fun we had on Sunday's Miller Rock run right here: http://s1091.photobucket.com/albums/i38 ... FR%202012/

For those who do not wish to view them all - here is a small taste...









Yeah - photobucket is a real bitch... .if I can do it, quit your whining, cause anyone can.

[hockeydad4-22]

A few more .... ummm... "interesting" shots!

[Jesus_man]

Awesome guys! Glad it was a great trip. Wish I could have made it. Thanks for sharing pictures!

[Rox Crusher]

those pics don't do justice to the excitement that Paul had in his Denver edition on the rocky section of the trail.

his tires and suspension set up work awesome together and he certainly earned the "biggest wheel stuff of the day" award. And even better, no damage other than a small bend to the lip of the rear wheel well which is easily fixed with a crescent wrench and a smooth hand

[Justin]

My dad and I had a great day. Many thanks to everyone there!

[Gregg]

What a great trip. My daughter and I had a blast. Thank you so much for all the organization that went into this. All we had to do was show up and have a blast. Great job Mike and Jeff. I also wanted to put out a big "Thanks" to Kirk and the many people that encouraged, coached, and spotted me up/down Miller Rock. I knew I or my truck would survive, I just didn't know by how much. However, no damage was taken except to several layers of my stomach lining. As Greg said, "You can trust us" and he was right.

I hope the link will take you to some MWFR pics/vids.

You guys ROCK!

[Entourage]

Awesome pics guys - Keep 'em coming! The group photo is beautiful. Justin's Dad took a ton of pics so it will be cool to see what images he captured. He said he has 2011 MWFR pics, too.

[landshark]

[landshark]

[landshark]

[Jesus_man]

Shawn - the new stance looks great. I am sure you realize you are now on a slippery slope.

Some great shots!!! I hope I can get a 2013 Calendar shipped to an APO... (pretty please)

[Crazyone]

I had a great time on Saturday. Thanks to Rox for g up some great camping grub and to Kinder for the trail run. It was great to see everyone again and I am looking forward to a great summer!

[casadejohnson]

Not sure why but I'm still having issues posting photos. However, I think Michelle can post so we will download the pics to her computer so i can post a photo of the new winch installed!

[Justin]

Photo posting has been turned off. You'll need to upload to something like Photobucket and then post the links into your reply. Photobucket's pic pages has the URL you can cut and paste to have the photos be inline with your text.

Ok, I got links to the winch photos here, how do I make them show up without having to click on the links?

[Jesus_man]

Copy the code that starts with [img] and paste it here. Then you're photos will automatically show.

[landshark]
