    I think Jon from Montana might have taken this. I remember him saying something about capturing my good side...jerk!

    Look how tall I am! Almost like a normal-sized human being, eh?
    [IMG]


    Ol' Jon just couldn't leave well enough alone. A creative camera angle uncovers the ugly truth...

    EverFree, aka Dave... I'm pretty sure Josh took these following photos...

    Yeah, we're still following this guy...
    [IMG]


    Yeah, that's Russ on the ground. Don't ask...
    [IMG]


    Bowing to my greatness, are ya, Russ?
    [IMG]


    "No, see, it was like this!"
    [IMG]


    Once Russ picked himself up off the ground and collected himself, we continued on. I think it's pretty safe to say we all had a good time.
    Josh...

    I stil have a decent connection so here goes...I hope it lasts long enough!

    Tasty dirt on the way back to camp...

    [IMG]


    We returned to camp a tad late and some of us feasted on super gor-may sandwiches out of Joshua's extremely well-stocked cooler.
    I actually had to make my own sandwich, though (tsk...I know...can you believe it? :rolleyes: ) because Russ refused to be my little "sandwich maker."
    Josh shared his peanuts, too...

    Time to gather for the raffle!

    Well, folks...that's all I got! Super fun weekend with a great crowd, killer conditions and totally rockin' machinery to ride...what more can you ask for? Thanks to everyone for making the gathering an exceptionally rewarding experience for me! :thumbsup:


    Thanks to my riding partners for sharing their photos with me, too. Still waiting to see some more photos from the others :busted:

    Hah! Fat chance of me forgetting about these photos! :lol:

    And I am a nice girl, for the most part...you just gave me opportunities to be bad :D

    Maybe we can hold the next one in CA so we can get our So-Cal brethren in on the fun :)

    :D right before the raffle Blake looks at me and says hey, why do you get 4 tickets. I said "I don't know here have one" 2 minutes later that's the first ticket drawn and Blake steals my shirt!!! Bastid.

    Wow, you made it through the entire weekend without breaking something (on yourself, that is)? I guess that justifies you coming that far north and not even letting us know...I'll try to shield the rest of the family from this hurtful negligence. We haven't even established a clear cause-and-effect relationship between us riding together and you getting hurt...it could just be an incredible coincidence. It helps a little that you ditched Eric too.
    Sounds and looks fun, and you can't beat a perfect coat of snow like that. I guess I need to lurk more so we can crash the party again next year.

    Hah! No Tim, no broken bones, no broken frames...I don't know if that's coincidence or not! :D
    You do seem to have an uncanny knack for witnessing my particular brand of carnage :thinking:

    Yeah, not only did I not know til the last minute if I'd be going or not (seriously ill less than a week before departure, Eric not being able to go) but I knew you had a little something going on and probably wouldn't be able to make it anyway. Something about, oh...I don't know...a race in Baja or something? I knew if I invited you to Oregon you'd totally choose to ride with me instead of helping Team KTM take 2nd overall down in Baja and I just couldn't do that to the orange team, ya know? Always thinking of others...that's me! :)
