Hope you enjoyed the photo spread I put together for all our members
to view & read. Mike Yucha , Steve Loftis & Speedy helped take the photos posted in this photo ahbum . I could
have taken more photos , but NEVER would have had the time to cover the almost 400 miles of Tenn. mountainous trails that
beconed me forth during the course of a five day Great Adventure! LOL!
Each &
every Great Adventure poses new & sometimes daunting problems , BUT with teamwork & a willingness to help one another
, the end result is another SUCCESSFUL Great Adventure! Despite a wrecked quad & broken wrist even Mike Yucha said " One
of the BEST trips EVER !!!! I'll be MORE careful next time! " YAHOOOOOOOOOOO! Can't wait till October &
Harlan, Kentucky! Your AARP atv buddy!
