TurkeyRun 2006

Alright so it's been over a week but its finally time for an update! This weekend Hope, Austin, and I had our fun in Hot Springs Arkansas with the TX4WD during the annual Turkey Run.

Before the outings everyone lined up thier rigs for a picture:



Of course I had to check my flex on the RTI ramp before heading out:




And here is Gill, a friend and excellent spotter taking me up some trails that I probably shouldnt have been on in the first place!



But we made it through all the rocks without any breakage, but that was just the first day...





And of course before heading out the whole DFW chapter had to get a group photo at the top of the mountain, what a great view!!

Pumpkins

Well every year Hope, Austin, and I make it a point to carve a pumpkin right before Halloween. This year we waited a little late and the pickings werent quite as good considering the drought... but never the less we still made an effort. Austin is six this year and did a great job on his first pumkin ever. He sketched out the design on paper, we traced it on, and he carved away. What a great job wouldnt you agree?



As for me, I couldnt decide what I wanted to carve and was up for hours looking for ideas on the web. Finally it hit me and I decided I would try Gollum from Lord of the Rings. Judge for yourself but I think it looks more like the Crypt Keeper from the late night USA network back in the nineties!



Unfortunately Hope was working the day before Halloween otherwise the Gollum pumpkin would probably have looked much better. But here are some pumpkins we have carved in the past... our favorite of which is when we take on self portrait pumpkin projects.













See you again next week,
