It was actually on G53. Some guy pinned a note to his chest and ate a bullet. DOA.

What happened Neal?

Here's the ride report!

"Had a memorable day for sure... First off a Big Thanks to everyone for all there help during the course of the day with all the issues, and a special thanks to Dino, and RedRzr for going above and beyond!

Ride Report:

Now so much to tell, I guess we should start at the beginning and just go from there. I got to the trail about an hour early so I decided to do a little exploring before everyone got there and had a great little ride before heading back to the trucks.. At the trail heard we meet a few new guys and had a few guys running late so we ended up hitting the trail around 10:30. We hit the trails with 14 bikes, 3 rhino's, 1 atv, 1 Prowler, and 9 rzr's. A couple miles into the trail on trail 3 we had two bikes with flat tires, Shannon with a flat Big Horn which was repairable with a few plugs and the mustang man with a busted Mud Lite that after 12 plugs decided it was not going to hold so Dino Showed him his way back to the truck. While Dino showed him to the truck the rest of us pushed on toward trail one and all was good till the trail 1/3 split where I slid into a little rut and put the Rhino over on its side for the first time ever on the trail, thanks to Shannon and a couple of guys for grabbing my bike real quick so I could push on. Then Shannon hit the rut and "wham" it was time for me two return the favor (yes my camera was rolling at this point). Everyone else made it through this point so we headed on to preachers rock to wait up for Dino. At preachers rock we decided to take dinner, a few minutes later got the call on the radio from Dino that he was at the 1/3 so I went back and got him (because he could not hear us on his handheld radio). Next we pushed onto trail 45 which went great till I hit a mud hole that swallowed the rhino, first couple times through I could back back out but finally I sunk so deep and drowned the belt so catmostfeared pulled me through. We drained my belt and pushed on to trail 21 where I found a bank and drained the belt some more. Heading on up 21 I guess I decided to test the new tires durability with a big rock and I must say I am very impressed, The left front Dirt Commander hit this rock head on which did make a small place in the tire and put a dent in the beadlock rim (the rock never touched the beadlock ring) and also busted my steering wheel... So I opened the tool box that hadn't been opened in two years to find a handy dandy set of vise grips which made an interesting steering wheel. Dino and RedRzr took over the ride while Catmostfeared followed me back to the truck to park the rhino (yep two rhino out at this point).. After parking the rhino Carl informed us to be careful he had a visit from the cops who said someone had called the law because someone was riding in their green field, no real detail but he said the cops said if they caught anyone on the road they would haul them in. From there I hoped in the cats bike and we rode a great ride all the way back to black house mountain road where everyone else was waiting. We then rode by the mineral lake then back to yellow doors over look where I hoped in with Dino to finish the day. Leaving yellow doors Catmostfeared and his crew decided they wanted to ride trail 100 so we parted ways to the play ground. From the playground RedRzr lead us back around trail 3 till the Prowler nose dived and broke a tie-rod. At this point it was getting late so me and Dino lead a few bikes back to the truck so they could head on home, on the way out we meet a few drunks of which we should have gotten pictures so we could have held it over their heads.. lol At the trucks we wished everyone a safe journey and headed back to the broken Prowler on trail 3. We got almost back and then seen light coming our way so we turned around and pulled over to find the little RedRzr Tow Truck hooked to that Big Prowler towing him out(wait till you see the pic's).. They had pulled the left front tire off the Prowler and used its winch to strap him onto the rzr's spare tire carriers (Can't thank RedRzr enough). Almost into the mines me and Dino took Imbill back to his truck and helped him get loaded up where we ran back into Catmostfeared and his crew loading up (and I heard one of them had issues on trail 100 maybe he will explain more). After loaded up we went back to watch the RedRzr Tow Truck tow the Big Prowler around the gate at the end of trail 3 which was a site (sorry no camera and it was dark so you just had to have been there unless someone else got something I don't know about).. Back to the truck we helped them get loaded up and put the Tow Truck back together then wished them farewell as we headed back to Carl's... At Carl's we all got loaded up as it was just the RedRzr, Lady RedRzr, Patches, Dino, and myself then we headed home. At that point I thought the day was done, atleast till I seen the blue lights.. Heading home I had Jeff behind me as the popo clocked me at 68 in a 55 and he wrote me a warning ticket? Anyone ever heard of a warning ticket? This is my first...

Anyway the rhino is still on the trailer and I haven't had a chance to see how much footage I got so maybe tomorrow afternoon I will be able to sit down and go through it..


Now I know I missed something?"

Yeah I was at G53 and 53. We just finished 57 and was heading back to the south side when the Fire truck and Ambulance past. They were heading back down the mountain. Heard what happen when we got back to camp. Very Sad!
