Unfortunately, it is not looking very promising for the North Star Fire Dept to be able to participate. We have several of our members that will be out of town or at other events that weekend. On the top of that, Memorial Day weekend is traditionally pretty busy for us (unfortunatley)

Hopefully we can hook up with you guys at future events this summer.

Here is a real update,
Saturday; got wet, got stuck, did not roll over. Excellent!!!!!

We went to Compeous trail insted and stayed dry rode 42 miles had a great time and met or passed 23 ATV's it was amazing, suggest going up there if you havent.

We also went up the compeau trail and stayed last night at colorado creek cabin. Saturday was great with the sun out all day and damp trails to keep the dust down. This morning it started pouring down rain as soon as we left, the fog and clouds were thick at the peaks. Even with the rain and mud flying, our 18 month old still had fun on the ride back.

I heard prior to this weekend that the stiles creek trail was muddy and "ill-advised" so there may be some real mud there now if anyone wants a challenge.

That was me and my wife that met you and yours on the trail on a real sharp corner, you had the baby on you back and wife was following. we were on two big 750 kawasaki, David and Terri

Good weekend,

A bit wet to say the least.

Thanks Peter and Charlie for organizing the trip.

Had a great ride Saturday and the Cache hunt was fun on Sunday, every participant won a prize.

Now the rain was a bit challenging, especially when we all had to get up at 2:30 AM to vacate camp after Nome Creek crested its banks and created a new channel right through the middle of camp. But heck, its was just another Alaskan adventure. Some pictures and video coming

[Charlieb]

All the credit has to go to Peter, he did all the organizing. Every year he does this camp out. Him and his wife Cindy work hard to make sure people have a fun time and lots to eat.
