2nd Annual Luna Quad Squad Rodeo

October 23-24th.

Day 1 Friday.

The 2nd annual Luna Quad Squad Rodeo was held at the home of Harold and Barb Hood.There was a great turnout of contestants, so there was a lot of meeting and greeting going on. Dry camping spots were provided for those from out of town or who just wanted to stay there.

Some people went out and checked out the poker run course and a lot tried the barrel race course. Most got the barrel race course wrong the first couple of times but all was good. We had a great time. There was a blind mans bluff run where the driver was blind folded and the passenger directed the quad through an obstacle course. Another event was the weenie bite where the passenger had to bite off the weenie while the quad was being driven under it.

Around 5 PM the Potluck started and we all filled our bellies with outstanding dishes. I think there were also a drink or two in there somewhere. Sometime after dark the Karaoke stuff was set up and the party began.

 

Day 2 Saturday

This is the day that the actual rodeo begins.Bloody Mary’s were served beginning at 8:00 AM. Some were ready and some were not!

So much went on today that I am have a hard time writing the blog and trying to pick pictures to post. Wish I could post them all but that ain’t  gonna happen so this is what you get.

I am sure that others had other views but we will leave that to them. We probably did not want to know anyway.

We are all looking forward to next years bigger and better event.

A big thanks to Harold and Barb for having us and to all that helped putting on the event. See ya’all next time.

Another ATV Adventure.

Florida Mountains, East Side.

It was commented that I neglected to post anything on a ride that Bob, Candy, Stu, and I took a couple of weeks ago. Well here it is. We left the parking spot on Gap Rd around 9:30 or so and headed for the East side of the Floridas. We explored a lot of different roads and trails along the way. The views are really spectacular out that way. We had covered 23 miles when we turned around at 3 PM, and it took us 8 miles to get back to the trucks.

I somehow did not take any pictures on this trip but Candy did so here they are.
