guys my son (Ransom) and I had a blast. I told him you are planning a Halloween Run and he lit up. We might just be back in October. Take care until next time and I am enjoying the pictures.

Was great to meet you & your son. He had a good time with all of us. Was fun to watch him & Jake goof it up as much as they did. I couldn't tell who was the bigger kid out of them both

Your BII did an amazing job out there. Very capable little rig, and that D&D Doubler kit really kicks butt

Hope to see you out there for the Halloween run, and if you ever feel like getting back down before that, just let me know. I got the brakes fixed on the EX, and it is itching to go back soon

I finally got some software so I can edit photos and video and ad music. I might grab some photos from this thread also tonight and try to make us a nice combined video of the pictures and some movie footage that I have.

Ah, jealous! Just got the chance to sit down and go through these pics and vids. Wish BethAnn and I could have made it! Maybe next time when we don't have a newborn at home!

Looks like all of you had a great time (aside from the axle breakage)! We look forward to making out to SMORR again with the EF crew!

thanks! I have been wondering and when I get my magazine in the mail I look thru it hoping. Well looks like I will have to wait a few weeks longer!

Any chance your going to make Clayton next month? I will be there. Heading to Hot Springs this weekend to attend the Oklahoma Classic Bronco Roundup! Going to show those guys how well the Bronco II works! haha.
