Annual Poker run!

First weekend of August we go and do a Poker run with Clay and Dad's work friends. Hunter sprinkler parts puts it. It is always so much fun! This year we didn't have a great poker hand, but almost all of us ended up winning a prize. So we started out on our 40 mile ride and 15 miles into it starts POURING RAIN. This was not just a little drizzle. No pouring, and it was FREEZING!! Even Clay admitted it was freezing and he knew that if he was cold I was beyond cold. So as the rain was pelting us in the face we were driving to find a place to hide out for a little bit. Clay finally found a spot under some trees and we waited for about 15 or so minutes and then the rain had slowed down and you could kind of see the sun again. So we got back on the 4-wheelers which were now soaked and started riding and realized that the road was like an ice skating rink, the road was pure clay and slippery as snot (as my dad said :) So we're riding along and I am not exaggerating when I say that mud is flying up off the tires the size of a small cantaloupe. HUGE! I was covered. Honestly at this point all I could do was laugh :) It was comical. We were covered in mud by the end of the ride. These pictures do not even do it justice. The good thing was that it actually warmed up a little so the rest of the ride wasn't too bad temperature wise. I would take being a mud ball over freezing any day!

Side note... So my mom and kels managed to stay clean because there 4-wheelers were made for mountain riding. So towards the end my mom is carefully going around this huge mud puddle and Terrance floors it and goes right through it and sprays her :( Funny, but sad! Poor mom, you should have had more girls :) ha ha just kidding! We all had a great time!

They had dinner for us after the ride and gave away prizes. We took off after that, but next year we ARE going to sleep up there either the night before or night after. Probably before considering we were mud-balls and wanted to shower after. hunter does a great job at putting this on. It is always great memories!

our first stop for our first poker card

CJ decided to climb the tree... who knows?

Take a good look at this CLEAN picture

Moments later...soaking wet

this was our shelter

Totally covered in mud. I wish so bad that I could have recorded the huge chunks of mud flying up over our machines.

Look at T-dog's four wheelers, you can't even see it!

Loading up after a good day of fun

After the ride, not quiet as clean.

CJ's four-wheeler died half way through so he hoped in the back of someone's truck.

Great memories!!!!
