ATV World Record

Leaving our Mark on the World!
It's amazing what we just experienced in little Ole' Sevier county. This evening at 6:30 p.m. they had an ATV parade to see if they could beat the world record. They needed over 2000 bikes and I'm betting that they bet that record by 2000. I have never seen so many bikes together in one place and for one cause. I think we made a statement: That we can do anything if we put our minds to it." I'm really hoping that the Sierra Club and all the other environmentalist were watching. They keep trying to close our trails. Now I wish that I had gone and rode in the ride on Capitol Hill to protest the government closing the trails that we love.

It was a neat experience.
If you can see the water tower in the background, the bikes were clear up to it. That was only one of the roads. They had three other roads and they are lead to the parade. It took us an hour to go through the parade and they was just as many people still waiting. Jerry's and Logan's number was in the 800's.
The trail in front of us. They passed out t-shirts to the first 2000 people.
As the diesels would pass on the freeway, they would honk. It was very patriotic. I was wishing that I had put a nice American flag on my bike like many of the riders did. We recognized flags from New Mexico. It would be fun to know where everyone came from.
