Bankhead was once again a great ride and I would like to thank all who helped put this ride and food together. From Corinth we had Pete, Dana and Logan Smith. This was Logan's first trail ride out of town. To hear him laugh and see him smile as he splashed threw the mud on his 90 Polaris was worth the trip. Bobby Rodgers on his 700 Polaris, all went well for him until we got back to Corinth and was loading his ATV from my truck to his when all of a sudden one of his ramps flew out from under the mighty 700 and it flipped up in the air and hit the back tail gate of the truck busting his right side floor boards. Bill Sanders and his Suskui all the way from Olive Branch MS. With a 3 hour drive home all seemed to go well but he didn't like having to stay out of the creeks while on the trails. Well my day started off with Kristina going with Bradley and myself but a Armed Robbery in Tupelo kept Kristina from making the ride. With Tupelo badge and gun she had to stay and help out. So Bradley and myself had a great time. Bradley was covered with mud from head to toe. So what's new about that. Nothing. We made it all the way back to Glen, MS when all of a sudden my truck just stopped running. After a few phone calls Robert Rodgers from T&R outdoor in one truck and Kristina in another were to our rescue. We towed the truck to Corinth and I unloaded my ATV out of the back and rode it home because I had to be to work at Corinth PD as soon as I could get there.
So see ATVing is not just a hobby it is an adventure!
