as i was saying.........that alarm went off way too early. thump rang the doorbell at 630ish and kidnapped big lou for a day of fun at shady grove. the rest of us got up and and broke a sweat loading up the bikes. we also thought it might be a good idea to take some pig, cow and chicken with us. they would meet the smoker later. when we left the house it was 75 and sunny. 40 miles later it was wet and 55degrees....only in texas. as we unloaded the bikes, we wondered if it was going to be a miserable day but again this is texas weather and within 1 1/2 hours the front was by us leaving us sunshine and a nice cool breeze. not to mention misting the trails for max traction. things were looking good. we took off looking for some trails and found the enduro markers from november and ran a good loop. fellow dnr riders stan flemmings and dad (xrguy?) met up with us and all of us ran a long loop. we came back to camp for food and fuel. the animals got along with the smoker. we saw some llamas off in the distance.........no really first time ever ive seen em at muenster. lucky for them we already had plenty of protein. we mount up and ride some more. two more drns from the north texas smackpack hook up with us and we ride some more. its getting late in the afternoon and the line of riders is getting smaller. my hands are killing me and i have this impending cramp in my leg. justql and i hook up with yzguy15 and dad(dont remember the nick) for one last loop. im behhind justql and he does the longest lowside ive ever seen in the woods but technically it wasnt a crash because he never let the motor die. i could of tagged him just for fun but didnt. its 600pm now and its miller/brisket time. only the hardcore are left at muenster now. as we head to the pickup i pass a truck with two ktm crosscountry riders in it and drag em to dinner. we again eat meat and drink ale(gatorade, h2o, dr. pepper for the kiddos.) ktm crew drag mx547 and david off for one last hurrah. i had no energy left make that desire to go. i loaded up the bikes and opened a cold one. i watched my kiddo zoom around on his xr70 some more. dang that thing has still not run out of gas. it has run out of brakes but not out of gas. we hear mx547 and others on a trail come by the trucks, they pop out of the trees but no mx547 with them. he shows up at the truck moments later. we think he has gotten his usual muenster flat but noooooo.........wait ill let him tell his story. we say our goodbyes and invite all to our badlands mx track day on monday. again its late when we get home but we know monday will bring more dnr action.............back to that alarm clock
