Had a blast..... lots of fun and a great time talking to all. 
It was great meeting everyone - even though I didn't stay long. Enjoyed riding the trails with Meatball (Semper Fi, Brother!) and Uwharrie is just a great place to ride. I can't wait to come back! Would have stayed longer, but I never miss a chance to watch a Florida school whoop up on a North Carolina school! 
I'll wear my ONSC shirt and display my sticker with pride here in the Low Country.

I had a great time everyone, it was great to meet some new people, sorry I had to leave early. I hope someone enjoys the D-ring I left from santa......did santa leave anything for me...?
Shaun, I think you made the naughty list this year. Coal and switches for you!
We couldn't have asked for better weather Friday night; I'm happy so many people were able to get there that early. Saturday showed how much a little rain can really transform the trails. The only damage that I had was a little rear bumper rash that could have easily been avoided but it ought to buff right out!
Thanks to everybody that came out - regulars and noobs alike. Good people, good food supplied by many and good times. The Barn has become such a comfortable and welcoming place. Sarah and I are already looking forward to the M&G in a few months.

Good to see everyone. Was glad to make it up and run some trails. Liked seeing a good turn out of 60's.
It was great to see everyone again, Many thanks to Kenny, Lydia and Bernice for the hospitality.
Great food, great trail riding, and great friends, couldn't get any better. Clayton, it was good to see that many 60 series in one place...I think that is the most I have ever seen at any event.
Every take care and have a Merry Christmas.

Any pics?
Thanks to Kenny and Lidya - great party as usual. HATE I couldn't stick around for breakfast, and feeling really guilty about ducking out on helping on cleanup detail. Sorry about that. I think I slept about 2hrs last night for some reason, and this mooring was rough. Felt like I drove 6 hours to get home.

Since Sarah and I were among the first in and the last out, I again got to see just how much work it takes to get the barn ready for an event and to button it all back up when it's over. Kenny and Lydia don't just open the gates and start the party. Fallen trees are cleared, split and stacked. Water and gas lines are hooked up and checked. "Furniture" and creature comfort stuff is unpacked and set up. Fires are started and maintained. Cooking appliances are unpacked and set up. Pots, pans, utensils, food, condiments, etc is all brought in and available for those who need it, not to mention constantly cleaned throughout an event. TRASH and recycling are collected and disposed of at the dump. Things that are left behind are sold on Craigslist or eBay...I mean, sent back to their owners or stored until next time (Benke, your cooler might smell a little shrimpy next year when you pick it up).
It's a large task that they happily do for us, but let's remember that they have to do it every time they use the place, not just when they host ONSC, and the process starts well in advance of the event easily adding an extra couple days to an event. They never ask, but I know they appreciate all the help that any of us are able to give to our events.
Lastly, thanks to Lumbee1's wife (I think it was her) for noticing a plumbing problem and to Kenny (and maybe Shaun?) for quietly fixing it. I'm not sure what the bathroom would have looked like if we couldn't have flushed!
Thanks Kenny and Lydia.
We look forward to your generosity again next year.

Aye, well put. Thank you Kenny and Lydia!!
Heather and I had a great time as well and we were impressed by the amount of food available. If you went away hungry you missed out on some very good food.
I have been involved with many different clubs over the years, RC heli and airplane, shooting, diving, off road etc and have even been president of a couple. I must say that this club is the most cohesive and fund to be around. Quite a group of charactars.
Thank you so much to Kenny and family and all those who made the barn such a welcoming place to be. I wish that we could have stayed longer but we have dogs and horses that require care. Thank you all so much for making a 2.5 hour drive far more than worth it.

Not many pics really. Was spotting too much to take too many.

Thanks to all for a great time. Nice to put faces with Mud Names.
I mean where else but a Land Cruiser group would it be acceptable (and comfortable!) to drink all night in front of the fire and then wake up in your vehicle?!
Thanks to the Monks for the hospitality, what a great location!
