We the weatherman said no rain for a while so I was thinking this was going to be good! nice warm weather! girls dressed to stay cool! so I loaded the bike with a battery operated fan for nice sleeping! lots of memory cards extra clean clothes for a week long  trip so my bike was loaded pretty heavy! anyway I headed out about 2pm on Thursday afternoon. the ride out was nice pretty uneventful just smooth riding! I got into the camp ground about 430 in the afternoon and at no surprise to me the place was already hopping! I set up camp and got organized then headed out to take some pictures!  I roamed the camp ground seeing who was there! and getting a few pic as I went!  In spite of how many there were out and about i discovered lots more holed up under airconditioners! 

I must have been much hotter than I thought! i did take time to check out the new tattoo shop tony built! and also the medic shack! and of course the awesome new bar too! the whole bar is done out of cedar! with a long bar about 30 ft long and then 20 ft across and back! it is set up so a couple of girls can wait on three times the people the old own did, no more waiting in long lines. there is also plenty of room to dance on the bar too! then before I new it it was time for bed! it is always amazing how time flys when you are having fun!  the Friday morning I got up and headed over to CMA for some coffee! we started the games about 10 and kept at them till about 2 in the afternoon! then took a break for the heat till about 7pm when it started to cool down then it was time to party!

well actually there was a lot of time spent in the pond in the heat of the day! I kept making passes past the pond to check out what was going on! once they did a panty swim that just about killed Chaz, during the day lots of games and fun and evenings was the party with music! till sunday and then it calmed down a bit and the partiers took a break from the heat! actually no matter how hard we tried we could not get people out of the shade to play from Sunday to about Thursday! it was just so hot! on Tuesday I was sitting in the shade over at CMA we were trying to stay cool too! I mentioned to Ed Lee that if I had a truck to go get it I had a big shop fan with a mister on it! Ed Lee ask me what are we waiting for I have a truck right there!  so 4 of us loaded up in the truck and headed back to my place! we got to the house at nap time for the kids so we picked up the fan and headed back! the trip over and back in the air conditioned truck was pretty nice! once we got back we hooked it up and put the water to it. it was great it took the temp down about 20 deg with the mist. there was a small crowd gathered in front of it every time I went by! Wednesday the crowd begin to line up to come in! and they came in pretty steady till Saturday after noon Thursday we managed to get a few games in even with the heat! when we were not playing games we were looking for shade or others were in the pond! 
one guy decided in his infinite wisdom to dive into the pond! we all know better than to dive into shallow water but he did it anyway thank god Tony had just put in a medic shack and was keeping a full time EMT staff! he was not to mention some quick thinking bikers! they got him out of the water and onto the bank and gave him CPR and had him revived then he was medi-flighted to OU where they fixed him up I believe I heard less that 43 min from start  till he was there and being taken care of!
