    Great seeing everyone and kudos to all for their generosity.

    Mrs. SpruceMica feels the same and always says how nice the entire TW crew is.

    Here are some pictures from the trail ride we took afterwards. It actually was a really good trail. Huge shout out to @TacoTuesday603 's Significant other (Tiffany) who took the pics on her camera.

    Big kuddos are sent out to Rob @mach1man001 for continuing to put this event on for the kids and to get everyone together.

    Huge shout out to @GarlicFarts , @Brownmatthall and especially my partner in crime John @AllTacosFloat who not only did the scouting for this trip to make it happen but enduring very unfortunate and significant trail damage resulting a taco that will be "down" for sometime.

    Glad you guys had fun! That trail seemed to straddle the line between being stock friendly and stock uncomfortable haha

    Nice, glad the trail was decent. I think
    :spy: we did that trail in about 10 minutes, we were hammer down. Definitely stock friendly at a normal speed.

    I think it was comfortable for a stock plus sliders rig. Especially with how slippery it was.

    I also had no idea you were @Bruce988jl , you've been threatening to hang out for a fab day at my place for a while.

    Oh, it was much better and more fun in the rain. We went slow and took us about an hour.

    ummmmmm.....yeah........I can see that trail not being "stock" doing it in a 10 minute time. John was in my backseat going "yeah, we were flying through here at one point." lol. It was a really good trail for people to learn on and how to take lines, even if they are in a "Stock taco."

    definitely learned a lot about how much these trucks are capable of in stock form, also from talking after learned some valuable info on what I should do to help in future trips. And thanks to @TacoTuesday603's other half for her awesome pics!

    Good times - been a long time since I had time on the trail with the truck.

    Haha yea I'm the guy who just kind of appears at events then disappears. I was exhausted from flying in that morning so introductions were scarce. Hell I just got back late last night from Europe after 25hrs of delays, missed connections and flying.
