Big surprise
 
Also a special thankyou needs to go out to NOAS member Andy who was the first responder at the ATV accident,and especially the BDB's for securing the scene and offering "ambulance service" to get andy to the scene.Also thanks to "the white XJ" who took EMT personel to the scene...who was that?
The guy is in ICU at Johnson city that's all i know,You guys and gals probably saved his life.
 
The white Cherokee was pinkyxj with mr. kevin bentley driving him out! Definitely an unexpected turn on our day but glad we came together to do what needed to be done! Had a blast though otherwise!
 
Thanks for everything Turtle. You and your crew were some busy people! The food was top notch! LOVED the beans! So glad to hear the event was a success and even happier to be a part of it.

Got any idea what the toy count is yet? :D

Thanks to BDB for welcoming us in on the parking lot party. Always a ton of fun hanging out with you guys! Thanks to CTB for a great day on the trails. And a big thanks to amajeepman and his wife for taking my wife and I to the vineyards on the way home! Finished off a fun weekend with 3 wine tastings! Great times!

By the way, I highly recommend Laurel Gray Vineyards in Hamptonville, NC for a nice stop on your way home. They have some great wines and some extraordinary sauces. They are a small non-commercialized vineyard. Beautiful scenery! Do try the vinaigrette and some amish bread. Fantastic stuff!

Cool thanks for the info...they get a :beer: outstanding job everyone
 
Speaking for all the NOAS guys I want to say thanks for having us out. We all had a great time and the food was the best. Hope to make it again next year.
On a side note a guy on a 4wheeler barrowed a wrench from me and I never saw him again. I don't know his name or what 4wheeler he was riding but he was going around asking to barrow an 8mm socket and extentions. If anybody knows who this guy is please let me know cause I'ld like to get my tools back. Thanks
