Well let me save you all a few words by just saying I did not take as many pictures as I did 2 years ago, but close  . And lest we begin. I will be doing this in segments and video will come last. This trip is going to be Zippi, Me, Zippi's dad "Fetchie", and Chad (Zippi's friend). I leave work and get the rental van with Zip and we head to his house and are there by 3 (eastern time). Fetch and Chad are not there and are taking FOREVER They finally get there at 4:30 or something and we take off with me at the wheel. We went to the grocery store real quick to get $75 in lunch meat and bread to eat on the way there so we do not have to stop for crap drive thru food. Since we are going thru where I grew up, my dad meets us all at a gas station to let us borrow his sweet GPS. He also got us a dozen donuts and 4 Coffees, AWESOME! Felt good as this was 3.5-4 hrs into the trip. It is dark and boring most the way so I did not snap pics of Cleveland or anything.  Chicago toll way bridge  Chicago I think I drive to almost Chicago which was like 11 hrs of driving straight or something, then Zippi took over. Team NightTrain! We then watched the sun come up in Wisconsin.  Sunrise in Wisconsin After 2-3 hrs Zip is shot and keeps saying "This sucks dude". Fetchie takes over and Zip hits the back of the van with Chad to sleep. I think Chad slept 19 of the 20 hrs on the way there haha. Of course, I stayed awake with Fetchie too. We arrive at the campground about 11 a.m. Our time 10 a.m. MN time. 20 hrs of driving, after the guys have a few beers in a parking lot of a gas station by the campground. The guys go to the lake where Fetchie goes skinny dipping and I hit the tent to sleep for 4 hrs since I was the only one that got none. They come back and we get our first and only visitor, 2sewings! While I was having that little nap, they apparently got wasted and fetchie went to sleep, on an air matress, on the ground, under an easy up. To be continued...

I should also add here that I am tagging photos after I submit the post. If I miss you (very likely!) please tag yourself! We were the firsts to the campground by many hours, you suckas were way late! After everyone arrived the party began and we headed over to join the crowd I don't know what started this but I started with my fast reaction skillz Someones phone got broke or something? And then another round comes out with a new contender In case you haven't noticed, Cuzinolaf is blitzed pretty bad from making whatever the f this is After the brawling he ends up in the base of a tree and the police come. I think he was yelling "Must hide" or something. The police told someone to take care of him and they left and told us we have to be quiet as 10 is quiet hours. Of course I started with the camera like it was my job Speaking of that, the cops snuck up on us later if I remember right and butcher boy yells out "hey be quiet the cops are here", then the cops come out of the bushes and talked to someone but I have no idea about what. To be continued...Writtin' her like you guys like it

I have forgot to mention this is day two for us NY'kers and this still the start for many SF'ers. I don't know about the other guys but I was very very tired but wasted and having a great time. I am then hear a noise of a sheep. WTF.. then out comes this gift from Quinlan or RMK-King? I forget, I was "under the influence" of sheep and beer. This baby even had a rear hole. Where the hell did you guys get this thing? I can't believe they even make these!  For those that don't know, I get my balls busted because I got a new cam years back and my first pictures were testing the zoom on some sheep far away across a field. Every time you tap it a sheep sound comes out Ibreakstuff comes in late and gets set up with his ol lady in the Chicago Hilton While I am there I see some fishy stuff going on. They are shaving off CuzinOlaf's soul patch so he has no soul. He is passed out. Someone mentioned drawing in something. Never heard the aftermath of this in the morning. The Hog gets out his hometown hooch and it gets passed around To be continued... Sorry it is taking some hrs. Cholorseptic is slowing me down, my throat is raw and I feel like ass EDIT - I edited the beginning of this post so if you have not read it, re-read first pic. I see there are 10 of you reading.

Awesome Matt. Did you see any sleds being everyone looked like they might be somewhat blurred by the influence? Erick looks done in the last two... Just sayin.
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country. Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor. Rangers Lead The Way!.."All the way!" <<<<<1st Bat, 75th>>>>>

The party peters out and these are the lone rangers. We are at camp MX86 and stayed up till 3 am MN time.. 4 am NY time.. I was beyond tired as I got 4 hrs of sleep in 46 hrs and traveled of course The NY crew heads off to haydays and I get this picture of 2SEWINGS and Wallygator as we enter haydays. $25 bucks entry fee for the weekend = sucks btw. Nice no helmets! Wallygator is riding with crash with no helmet! Nuts!  I don't know what this was but it was interesting A few of the jumping Cats new race chassis 500 is a neat sled The chassis on these were pretty interesting as well. I bet they have the power of a Z1 Turbo To be continued... Quote originally posted by RMK-KING

My crew looking at wheelers now, I dont think sleds got their attention haha Guess how much the below cost. That is a snowcone and a lemonaid with dirt in it from an older lady that mixed it from store crap in a pitcher 8 dollars and that was a deal. Another person had lemonaid for 5 dollars. WTF?  That is Zippi in the pic. Look at that tracks on that razor Me and Chad demonstrating This rear suspension was trick. Wonder how good it works Combined with a turbo to boot I never did get close to these girls but the naked pictures behind them were nice of course. How many of you bought calendars? I bet they sold 400,000 of them as the line was always long To be continued tomorrow night.. I need to go try and get my crap together

The location that Erick selected for the booth was pretty good, but if it would have been about 40 feet to the east it would have given a better view of the aXXXtion girls.

Matt the suspension on that XP is an EZ-Ryde. They are awesome. Been around for a few years, and they are the one of the lightest, toughest, and best suspension for putting power to the snow.

Holy $#@%&$#@ was I tanked. Half a bottle of Grey Goose and Hog's moonshine did me in. Those pictures are hilarious Matt. Nice meeting you and seeing some old faces here from SF. I took a vacation since December 6th but couldn't hold out any longer. Good times. Next year I won't get so wasted.
