Memorial Day Weekend 2013


What a great way to start off the summer this year.  We had the toys, the trucks, the good people to accompany us, great weather, and most importantly, the time off.  Let's not forget about the men and women who sacrificed their lives in the US Armed Forces.

This year we decided to go to Sutton, Alaska off Jonesville Road.  This is the ATV playground with many trails and mud puddles to ride through.  There are no regulations, fee, or rules here.  I have never seen this place so full of campers, atvs, and trailers.  Our large group consisted of around 20 people and 7 dogs  This is the largest group I have ever camped with.  We all had tents and camped away from the trailers in our own private area.  I called it Tent City.  I am very thankful for the wonderful weather we had.


Nobody in the group had ATVs, but we were awesome enough to let our friends borrow our 3 quads.  We had the wheelers parked at our camp and we would come and go as we pleased with approval from Cory or I, of course.  One of our friends even purchased more gas for the toys, how generous.  We definitely talked a good number of our friends to purchase one for the next time we go camping.  Now when I camp, it has brought my perspective on camping to a different level.  I can't go camping without our ATV anymore.  It is so fun to ride these!

All in all, I am glad everyone had fun and was safe.  I got to knock back a few brews, had some sun, got to relax and read, venture around on the atv, and best of all, make great memories.  It was a great group of people and I can't wait to go camping again!
