Sam:

It was good talking with ya bud, sounds like you had a blast. We spoke for a good amount of time yet you neglected to tell me about this, ouch.

Was it something that humm..... might have taken the wrong way. Say an off color comment? Maybe a whimsical interesting observation? A play on words and did not sit right. Please do tell,

Let's just say that when Ian hinted to Sammy that he looked like he needed to sit down on the ground................................














Sammy didn't waste ANY time getting there!

That's what happens when the excitement of your first Rubithon meets Tequila, meets beer, meets trying to negotiate off camber granite slate walking between camps, and ends up cutting your lower brow. Looks much worse than it actually is.....Drove through Cadillac and back home with no problems thank God.

I'll have a long lasting memory of my first Rubithon everytime I look in the mirror. Good Times! Thanks to everyone who helped out again...

I was first EMT on scene with him. He was very lucky, no seat belt and last report I heard he had been drinking. One of his rear tires caught a tree and it stopped him from continuing to roll down the hill. Last report I heard he has two broken shoulders, bruised chest and I know there was a couple lacerations on his head. I hope people learn a lesson from this.... that guy should consider himself very lucky, and his rollcage saved his life. If he had been wearing seatbelts he probably would not have had to been life flighted out.

Nice pics brother... what a great trip, other than the skeeter bites! Definitely will be running it again next year.... great picture of that bear. The RockSpider did great.... I think the full width axles are great.
