I wasn't there, but he talks about it to this day. You may be able to so a search for this one.
That was good times! A/O doing what we do best... someone breaks something, and the wheeling stops. We had some going for replacement parts (Kory Green), some running back to BK for burgers (Lawson), some making a fire so we all can stay warm (Rubicon Scott), a few watching the little ones, and the rest trying to get the axle back in place so the new center pin can be installed (me and Ervin).
I've run with others since, and the vibe is nowhere the same. You may have a few offering some help, but most say 'good luck' and continue on wheeling.
The A/O 'family' is like no other. Always there for each other, whether it's a mod or repair. Always there to wheel, but willing to stop once one goes down.
It's one of the few things we miss about AK.
