Continued my Jeep training today in Elephant Butte. Bill, myself, and the Rally hosts pre-ran a trail Bill will be leading during the Rally. Looks like I will be able to run a number of the trails over the next two weeks. Even got another good compliment of doing very well for someone so new. Must be careful I don't get a big head. Should be a fun month here.
 
Say hi to Nancy for us.  We've stayed at Elephant Butte before and really enjoy the area.  You are a natural and will learn Jeeping in no time at all. Hi to Darlene!
 
Will do Betty, upon meeting Nancy she reminded me of you, very friendly and bubbly. As said, already having a great time here.
 
Great to hear Gary.  Glad you are enjoying your Jeep.  You kind of looked like you were having fun in Moab.

Well, it is a little late but I finally had some time to download the camera and thought I would post up some of our pictures from the rally.

Chrystal and I sure had a great time.  It was awesome to see all of our old friends, twice in one year I might add, and to meet several new friends whom I hope to see again.  I hope we didn't run or scare anyone off. :eek:

We appreciate all of the compliments but we really didn't do anything special or major.  It was a collective participation that made the rally so great.  That is what happens when you get some many wonderful people together in one place.  We look forward to seeing everyone in Texas if not before.  It just sucks that the Palo Duro rally is 6+ months away.

Mike.

Me too Steve. 

As far as the Jeep, you have until next year to acquire one and be ready. 8)

See this video on Vimeo for a beautiful time lapse of the Moab area.  I know many of you will recognize some of the views.  It's 56MB in HD.
 
Chrystal, have you found the photo of Henry riding the broom and wearing the witch's hat?

I guess Mary Ann and I will be the last of the Moab Rallyers to check in from home.

We finally made it in yesterday.  Excuses? Well, it was 2048 miles.  Real reason?  We dragged (drug?) our feet, unwilling to bring this year's trip to an end.

Thanks so much to Mike and Chrystal for the effort they both put in to making this fall rally happen.  Special thanks to Mike for letting me be his bobblehead in the passenger seat on two great off-road rides -- and to Chrystal who so generously provided the salted-in-the-shell peanuts and the Kroger low fat Nilla Wafer cookie things. YUM!

Thanks to Betty for her usual dose of enthusiasm that made the afternoon gatherings so much fun for those of us who were beginning to "drag" -- and no, I am not talking about "Henry the Witch".  :)

Thanks as well to all the friends, both old and new, who made this rally so special!

Happy Trails 'til next time.  Be well!

Don and Mary Ann
