I was VERY UNIMPRESSED with TDS! It was very poorly organized, the safety check was a joke, and I was not given a trail map, nor was I assigned to any trail runs or even given the option for it. I don't like to think that such a large event like TDS could be poorly organized, so I try to put the blame on the fact that I had never been there before and maybe I should have been with someone who knew the area, but come on, is this really required for an event?? Hence I feel it was VERY poorly setup, and the only thing we found to do was play on a sandy hill and a couple of very short canyons with extremely loose rocks. We drove 9.5 HOURS for that and I could have found better wheeling 1 hour from home.


Even though the snow wasnt the best ever, you shoulda came to Chico. Everyone had fun (except when i got ditched coming off the trail, then had to go back up that night to bring a dist. to someone). I told you that you were lame for leaving, but what does lilbuddy know?
RIP Kyota.... you are the man

GET IT!!!

hahaha :funny:

Well, at least I got to experience what TDS is like, for that I am grateful :gap:

I've got another wheeling trip in two more weeks! And its not 10 hours from home!! :yupyup:

Sometime last fall/winter, I think around Thanksgiving.

So one day I woke up and found some parts missing from my engine :o :thud:
