Some thoughts from the 4/1/06 FCT ride

I wasn't trying to get things really riled up, I just new that what I was saying would. I talked to NBM the other night about all the rules. Personally, I love that wheeling is about getting away from stupidity because people have to be responsible for their actions on the trail. I generally odn't hit the trails with "BIG" 4x4's because what they do for fun (huge mud holes, 4 ft snow drifts) isn't too much to my liking and not what my truck is being built for. That said, if a trail boss was to say that they could expect huge 44" tire swallowing snow drifts I would either not go or ask for a seat. Somewhere common sense started to leave the discussion and rules started getting put in their place. I have met most of you and never in person have I had a disagreement about the trails. I bet we are all trying to get the same place (or quite similar) but approaching it from very different angles. I even appreciate a good mud bog, I swear, I just stick it out or watch someone else before I go through.....Then I toss someone my strap.
