Very cool deal. Well done guys.

Wow! What a great trail ride it was. One of the best that i have been on.

It is still amazing to me what scouts can do and we put them to a very gruelling test on these trails, everyone came through with flying colors--no damage or missing parts but of course a lot of scratches.
A friend of john osieks was riding with me, he never had been on a trail ride, was astounded how well the scout did, asking questions like do you really think we can get down this hill or up that hill, thru this narrow trail, etc. He was also a big help in spoting me on the right side as i do have a problem with that.

The best part of the weekend was the great gathering of friends and relatives to honor nick, he would be proud, also another chance to toast and wish him happy trails.

Actually I did do some damage to my rear bumper, noticed when putting the tail gate down, it was hitting on the bumper, after closer inspection i could see that there was a crack in the upper tube and the whole thing was pushed up. it got caught on a big rock
on one of the trails, after 2 days in the shop and some $.s it looked like new.

but we did ha;ve a great time on the trail!

Thanks to everyone who showed up to the shindig. We all had a great time. I fell victim to a bit of damage....collapsed the air filter going through a mud hole, and have some chatter coming from the differential. Currently the old man's truck is at a transmission shop awaiting a rebuild or replacement of the ZF-5. I will be back in town late August around Memorial Day, if anyone wants to get together just let me know!

Good deal..i cannot say enuff how nick helped me prior to purchasing my scout (info on what and where to look for problems, etc)..unfortunatly my rig is at a standstill (0-60mph is now at 15 months)..darn auto cable shifter is giving my fits along with rear springs (st louis spring bailed me out on that issue)..no doubt in the short time i knew nick he would have been all over this,..glad it was a huge success-god speed
