Quadfest 2007 Coverage

The parachute was deployed by the operator on the ground, high tech toys for sure! I would have bet anything that finding them in the wind would be impossible as high as they went, but all were retrieved.(You can see one floating towards the buildings in the background)

By saturday night, you could tell people were tired. Many had riden every trail and the dust and rocks had taken a toll! From what I hear however, the festivities were alive and well as a huge party erupted in the parking area. I did not personally venture down to it, way to late and I was way to sore, but it was described to me as a cross between larry the cable guy and girls gone wild

For the average person, a good nights rest was all the action they needed

A few quads got to get a bath courtesy of your $5 and the local fire dept!

The crew at HMF had a good crowd all trying to geuss TV theme songs, and the winners all got HMF goodies


I was first to get I love Lucy

Saturday night melted slowly into complete darkeness as the last few people mingled around the vendor area. Sweatshirts were popular as the chilly mountain air came rolling in.

Sunday morning was ugly. I had to get up and head off to town to get a part for my generator and on the way back I could see the dust from over 5 miles away.

Riders heading out to trail ride stirred up as much if not more dust in the parking area then they did on the trails. Rain did hit the area wednesday and thursday but it was no real help. Mother nature needed to pitch in just a shower or two and this could have easily been the best quadfest yet!

Looking out at distant trails showed what the riders were facing. Everyone took it in stride as its just another part of having fun in this sport

I would say the dust rivaled this years GNCC at the Penton, but atleast here you could slow down and take a break....if you couldnt hack it that is

Thats about all I have seeing I am missing a card of pics i had a great time and meeting so many new people was awesome. I hope that next year I can actually get out and ride everyday and enjoy what the event offers! If you were there and have pictures please post them! Some of the best shots are from the trails and the camp areas and we all look forward to seeing them!!
