And back to camp we went.

All things considering, we had a great day. No serious breakage, the rollover was promptly cared after and no one got hurt. This must have been the earliest I've been back to the camp after running a trail out there.

Later that evening the dinner was great! Sorry I do not have any pictures of the food, but we had a choice of hot dogs or hamburgers, served with all the trimmings, a bowl of chili, potato salad, some pasta noodles, and ice chests full of generic soda pop.

After dinner, the raffle went down and what a great raffle it was!

Since Marlin Crawler worked hard to get sponsorship for the event, Marlin's Crawler truck and F-Toy were parked on both sides of the stage
