Message: [QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 974178, member: 32023"] Jeff, I was there and I was sad to see it end. You have said it before, Tigger said it as well, Dave, Michelle and Stephanie expressed it in another thread, why does it have to end? In a way it never ends as DRN is far better site for having DirtWeek to bring members together. I have long pondered why more of the family did not show up this year and the reasons seem to span the universe. No one thing kept people away. There were numerous conversations that I was part of about missing family members. As you said a few years back, DirtWeek is a family reunion. For me it is a celebration of the human spirit and the inherent goodness of dirt bikers. Most will give you the shirt off their back, their last dollar and carry any load you ask. You cannot ask for a better group of folks to celebrate life with than people with the goodness of spirit I have had the pleasure to meet through the site. I credit DRN with restoring my faith in humanity and opening a world of friendships that span the majority of the globe. To some that may sound hokey, but I believe I could find a member on any continent willing to help me if I asked. I am proud to be a member of DirtRider.Net and proud to say that I am part of the magic that is DRN. The human spirit yearns to be part of a larger whole and for me DRN fills that void nicely. DirtWeek is the physical embodiment of the spiritual goodness of DRN. As Okie said, young and old, fast and slow, experienced and novice, strong and weak are all welcome at DirtWeek. That is the magic. Where else in this world can you truly be yourself and forget about the mask? I know of all too few places where that freedom exists. I salute everyone that has ever been a part of any spodefest or DirtWeek. Your spirit lives on in DirtWeek. Planning has already begun for me to be there in 2006. This coming year will be more special than many can imagine. The Lord willing, for the first time in over 25 years my entire nuclear family will hopefully be in the same spot on earth ... DirtWeek!!!! [/QUOTE]
